Doubt any team is trading a cap dump with a 1st for Miller. If I'm a GM I'd just pay a 2nd/3rd for Miller and trade the capdump separately if I have to.
Pysyk played for the Panthers for 4 years.
He had a career year in his last year with 9 goals and 18 points.
The Panthers liked his defense so much they moved him to RW.
He then signed with the Stars for a staggering $750,000 who gave up on him which allowed Buffalo to sign him for $900,000.
In Buffalo he appears to be decent RHD.
As a unit, Buffalo has one of the worse collection of defensemen in the NHL.
Only six teams have given up more goals and only one team has more shots against.
I sincerely hope Buffalo could get a 2nd for Miller and after the first 18 games that appeared to be a minimum return as he had 11 points.
Now with one point in his last 14, who knows what sort of return he will receive as he was playing with an injury (as has Olofsson).
Today, Karmanos would most likely be satisfied with a 3rd for Miller and 4th for Pysyk.
BTW, I was shocked that you made this post.
I have read your comments and rarely found them lacking in substance or accuracy.
But that trade for Luukkonen? Wow as you could see others thought it was totally unreasonable.
IMO it would take a return as MTL received for Taffoli to pry Luukkonen out of the system, and I am sure there would be Sabre ACGM's who would complain.
