<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>I know there's rumors about a bidding war, but I just don't get who would give them a package like this. Teams that are in a cap crunch will want him because of his cheap cap hit, but they'll be valuing him as a rental, and I can't see a team giving up 3 1sts plus in value for a rental. Teams that have room to extend him are mostly gonna be the ones who're rebuilding, and they won't want to give a massive package of futures for a guy and then give him a massive extension that starts after he turns 30. So to get a package like the one in this ACGM you need multiple teams who are currently in their window to contend and have lots of cap space (and need Miller, and that Miller is willing to extend with). The only teams I see that fit that description are the Caps and the Avs, and the Avs' cupboard is so bare they don't have the assets to make a massive offer in the first place. The Rangers have been brought up but I don't think they have the space to extend Miller while also re-signing K'Andre, Laf, and Chytil next year. If you can think of another team that's in a position to make this kind of offer let me know, cause I can't think of any.</div></div>

I think Toronto would be willing to move someone like Niemela in a Miller deal, but he'd have to come with retention. I think they'd match this package from the Caps at least, given that they'd be getting him as a one year rental in all likelihood. I could also see Minnesota getting in the rental market for him with retention as well after moving Fiala. But I agree that I don't see it making sense for a lot of teams to offer a big package for him with an extension, with two firsts being the most I can see someone being reasonably willing to give up

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>Take out Lapierre and the retention on Miller (you're not even really using it here so what's the point) and I think it looks about right.

As for the rest of the team, Hagelin is likely done due to a major eye injury, and I don't think there's any chance the Caps run it back with Sammy and Vitek in net again. MacLellan's said upgrading in goal was a priority this offseason, and he's got a track record of keeping his word when he says stuff like that in public.</div></div>

It's expected Vancouver can get a package like this for Miller, so I'm assuming Caps would have to include Lapierre in a Miller trade. But given the Fiala trade, maybe it can get done without Lapierre if the market fizzles enough

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Highlander1</b></div><div>Love Gibson, that trade makes sense. Would rather keep Vanacek than Samasonov, but that's just me. The Eller trade makes sense, I just don't see Calgary being the team to do it. Down the middle, if we're going to sign a free agent center, I like Strome over Trochek, but that's being nitpicky. Trochek is a great player. Nichushkin is a stud, and i would be really curious to see him on the right of Ovi and kuzy. LuJo had a great AHL season this year, I think you're right having him on the third pair. I'd like to see Alexeyev there, but I think LuJo gets the first shot out of camp. You can probably do without Larsson, that role can be filled internally by Snively, Leason, Protas, etc.

All in all, this would be a very nice offseason.</div></div>

The thought process is that if Samsonov develops more and shows some more of that potential, we'd maybe be able to deal him the next offseason and recuperate some draft capital. Strome worries me just because he's done the vast majority of his damage playing with Panarin. I thought bringing Larsson back just made the most sense with how dominant the fourth line was with him on there, it allows us to use the fourth line as a pure shutdown line the way Lav wants to.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>perrystreett</b></div><div>I trust Alexeyev more and think Osh and Tom should switch. Maybe even throw Tom back up with his two usuals since trocheck and Val can be physical and may mesh well with Mantha.

Would be very pleased with this offseason</div></div>

I figured it would be LuJo and Alexeyev essentially splitting 3LD duties until someone grabbed it or we reinforce it at the deadline. As for the lines, I'm sure they'd end up fluid all the way around. I went with this configuration to give Sheary and McMichael some size on their line while keeping Oshie on that "shutdown" line. And if the Mantha we saw in the Florida series is here to stay, I think he'd fit well with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. But the fact that what you threw out makes total sense, and there's other ways to configure this forward group that makes sense just goes to show the versatility this would give us
