I think this is in response to the Lebrun story this morning that stated Miller is not restricting himself to just Anaheim if he's to play next season. Vegas was mentioned as a team that has talked with Miller, along with Detroit and one other team I can't mention (that has already signed a goalie, like Detroit)...

I came here to look at how the money would look for a Fleury to Anaheim trade with 50% retained. Hypothetically; if this were to happen, it would pretty much be taking Fleury and his contract for a mid-round pick so Vegas could sign Miller on the cheap. Would it create enough space for Pietrangelo in Vegas though? Probably not unless they can deal another dman. But also for the Ducks they would be risking an extra year of expensive goaltending if Fleury wasn't taken by Seattle in the Expansion Draft.

Probably the one change I would make is Larsson up for Welinski, but we'd still have about 3 mil in cap space with Kesler on LTIR...

Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to, HadesOfSoCal :)

Sujet: Ducks with EK + BR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>No thanks!

Montour is currently playing on the top pair. He's a RHD. He's young, he's under team control, and he's got great potential. Is EK an upgrade? No doubt. But is that upgrade big enough to give what amounts to 3 first rounders (including Jones), a second, and a top 6 forward back, all the while taking on Bobby Ryan's terrible contract? Hellllll no. Not to mention that they'll be in cap trouble if they resign Karlsson for anywhere near what he's going to be asking for.</div></div>

You're not wrong about most of that. This was mostly just to see what kind of cap implications would occur with both of those contracts. Montour, though, is not a top 2 dman. The way we play our defense, we don't really have a "top pairing" (no Keith/Seabrook from years past in Chicago playing 30+ minutes a game each). Karlsson + Fowler or Lindholm is. Monty has plenty of potential as a top 4 guy eventually, but he has stalled out lately and would be an easy part to include in a trade for a top dman. We also have to be realistic with our "cup window"..

In response to ithical, I totally agree. I thought of this as BM's version of the Pronger trade. The moment we got him in 06, I started telling people we would win the cup that year. Wouldn't have the same feeling this year though. Just doing some thinking :)
