Petey or no 3OA

easy no from the pens, nothing of real value coming back and we lose our best DFD

As a lifelong Jackets fan, this is a phenomenal trade for the jackets! I would give pick 3 up alone if it got us Miller!!!

Why would Columbus do that, Carlsson is looking to be a #1 center possibly a franchise cornerstone. Miller doesn't make sense for their timeline, podkolzin is looking like he's gonna top out at being a top 9 player at best and the 11th pick is valuable but all of this combined is not enough to get you the third overall pick in the best draft since 2015.

Out of curiosity, do you think there is a world where Jarmo could actually consider making a move for Miller? Not with a Pick 3/ Johnson/ Jiricek level move, but with a bit smaller of assets? (A future protected first, Roslovic then a second or similar prospect?)

Jarmo is unpredictable at the best of times and now he seems to be taking the path of whatever it takes to win so I'm ruling nothing reasonable out. I think the cap gets tightish though with Miller on the team and guys like KJ, Marchenko, Sillinger, Texier, and Chinakhov have good seasons this year. It gets easier to think about Miller as a Jacket if either Laine or KJ can cement themselves as top 6 centers since that's easily still their biggest need.

It’ll take a 2nd alone for anyone to take Myers even with money being taken back. Rather have Petry anyways. MP got a lot more value after his really good season last year. This really doesn’t benefit the Pens at all except make them a lot weaker on defense so we probably decline.
