yeah, just think with the Huberdeau contract that was just signed JT is gonna have more leeway in want he wants. Wouldn't want to give him an extension would be a great trade deadline rental if we were in that position tho
oh, absolutely, at least in terms of length.
But if that is the path he wants to go down, he will likely see himself as next years Kadri - In fact, if I'm VAN, I'd be pointing to Kadri as an example of what Miller could be walking into if he stands by 7-8 years or $9M+. His TDL rental market might be huge, but his market for his desired extension beyond '23 may be quite small.
There just isn't the cap space to go around right now (or for the next two seasons, likely), and teams are only going to be more and more hesitant to give 7-8 year term to guys, unless we are talking the Gaudreau's, Tkatchuks, etc. of the world; which, while Miller has had a monster season or two with VAN, I don't feel he has a resume anywhere near what those guys have.
Same as Kadri (though I feel Miller is better), I really would only be comfortable giving him 4-6 years on an extension. Even then, that sixth year would give me pause.
