Sujet: wtf is GMBM gonna do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CastingCouchGuy</b></div><div>nah probly not tbh. kevin fiala being traded for that package def sets a tone for miller. nice try tho</div></div>

One, Miller' can centre, Fiala can't, more value there.
Two, there's still a year left on a near 100 point player that makes less than 6mil, where Fiala just got close to 8 mil, again, more value
Three, Miller plays PK minutes, I'm fairly certain Fiala doesn't, or at least won't in LA
The only real knock against Miller is his aging, and he's proving to get better with it (stat projections are a heckuva thing)
There's overvaluing players and then there's realistic market demands, which you will not, even if it's not Miller, get a replacement for Backstrom this season that cheaply.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Analytics_are_good</b></div><div>Every post I see has Geno walking, can someone explain this? The notion that he’s washed seems unreasonable, his underlying numbers were fantastic last season!</div></div>

It's not exactly that he's washed, it's the fact that Pit just has a cap crunch coming up and age is definitely catching up to Geno. He's still a reliable top 6 centre, but he's going to be commanding money and term that just won't make sense to Pit, and their priority right now is Letang. It just feels more likely some team, either a competitive one with LTIR room to take advantage of, or a young one that needs a culture setter (watch Detroit as a sleeper on this with all that cap space) will overpay to bring him in

I don't think either team ever does this, but I think it's a harder no from Van than SJ.

From Van's perspective: Trading away Miller to most other markets, considering the starting price has been set since February, means a young roster player, a prospect with good potential and a 1st rounder, and it sounds like there will be a bidding war at the draft for Miller. You're only getting one of those pieces in Meier, and you're giving up draft capital to do it. Very few teams trade a near 99 point player with centre capability and a 2nd rounder for anything, let alone a more expensive, less consistent winger only 3 years younger that's also on an expiring contract. I like Meier as a player, he's a new age power forward, but this deal is a non starter.

From SJ's perspective: Meier is one of the few younger, high quality pieces on the roster that can transition a rebuilt roster and be a leader once contracts like Couture, Burns, Vlasic and Karlsson come off the books. You don't give that up to get older with where the franchise is at, even if it's acquiring a player like Miller. Plus, if stat trends are anything to be considered, it's going to be much more expensive to extend Miller than Meier, and if Miller falls off around 32-35 but he gets the 6-8 year contract he wants, SJ finds themselves in the same situation they are now, too much money committed to a window that's been slammed shut.
