why?

idk just curious to see what people think

massive overpayment, no?

No thanks from the Kings.

Eww... why?

No, thanks from the Kings. The trade value is there, but we'll ride our conviction that Byfield is the replacement for Anze Kopitar. I hope we're right.

Miller is practically a top pairing left d man at 22. Othmann is gonna be needed to score goals in another year on his ELC. Byfield likely will be the best player of the 3 when their careers are over, but giving up 3 guys who could play in the lineup with an ELC for only 1 is kinda tough given the cap issues this team has. Well maybe not if they think Jones and Robertson can step into the lineup. Meaning Lindgren - Fox, Jones - Trouba and Robertson- Schneider. You know thinking about it I don’t necessarily hate it.

Rangers laugh and hang up in an instant

NYR would be crazy to offer that much for 1 player. And LA has several other players and prospects which would be a good fit with NYR who wouldn't require nearly as much going back. As far as Miller- I'd view him as a foundational piece to this NYR group...wouldn't look to move him unless getting back a bona fide future 1 or 2C (which Byfield is). In reality, though- depending on the progress of Miller and others on the left side- Lindgren would be the guy I'd eventually look to move to open up a spot on the left, while either upgrading another roster spot or recycling for more premium picks.

Miller is the only player of the 4 that has accomplished anything at the NHL level, to this point.

No reason Rangers should be adding so much in a deal.
