Sujet: Two Trades to Finish Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>Johnson is unproven at center, though he should get some more time there this year. His playmaking is elite, but I'm not sure he has the size, strength or compete to really thrive there, so he's likely back to the wing.

The jury is very much out on Sillinger being a top-6 center. Personally, I think it's a long shot and he's a 3C at best, and I think it's just as likely that he becomes a bust. While he works hard and has decent skill, his skating and IQ are suspect. If some team still sees him as having top-6 potential, CBJ should trade him. Carlsson and Lindholm would likely be top-6 centers for this team, but I have no interest in signing another 28-year-old to an 8-year extension.</div></div>

A. I don’t have KJ at Center (yet), this GM does. Why Lindholm makes even less sense if KJ is already a top 6C.

B. Yes Lindholm would be top6C and #1C this year and top6 for next couple. But when he’s 32-33 and there’s 4-5 years left on his deal is he still a top6C on this team? Unlikely. (What I said above, reworded since it seems we actually agree on this fact but somehow here we are still, lol)

C. I doubt Jarmo has given up on KJ and Sillinger projections yet. It’s fine if you have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>From what I heard he is best playing on the wing. Miller definitely has the potential to fall off like most players at 32, so like I was saying it's not worth it for CBJ or Pittsburgh (who has an aging core) to take on that contract. If it's after 34 that he falls off, then they are just stuck with 3-years. Miller is already slow but he's still producing, but the league is getting faster year after year, so I wouldn't be surprised if he falls off after 3-years. The part that I don't really get is why Vancouver fans want to move him in the first place, he's their 3rd best player currently and is set to become the 2nd highest paid player after this year, but they don't need to wait about Hughes until year 5 of Miller's contract. They do have a big contract in OEL that is already looking bad w and overlaps with the first 4-years of Miller's deal. Kuzmenko is likely to get a big deal that overlaps with years 3-7. Podkolzin and Hoglander don't look like they are going to be getting paid any time soon. Hronek likely gets a 2M raise at most and would be signed through his best years.

Long story short, they can afford for that Miller contract to go bad. They should just buyout OEL in 2024 or 2025 (better to delay to 2025 if possible) to freeing up 3.2-3.5m in those last 2-years of his contract.</div></div>

I heard OEL was a target of CBJ if they didn’t get Provorov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I don't get why people are so worried about the Miller contract. Wait to see what he does 2-years in because right now he's still a PPG player. He might have 4 good years and 3 bad or 3:4 or 2:5 or he might be like Pavelski.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying CBJ should be interested, they already have Gaudreau, Severson, Werenski, and Laine with high AAVs. Can also expect Werenski+Laine to be extended beyond those contracts. There's going to need to be space for their potential/rising stars that will need to get paid.</div></div>

Miller is better on wing, imo. Plus Guys like JT Miller generally fall off a cliff between 32-34. That contract is cap death in waiting.

If that contract isn’t an potential issue and Miller is going to stay productive for most of it, Vancouver shouldn’t have an issue moving it… but why would they want to if it’s solid deal. I thought they still want to win now.
