Buffalo looks at you in confusion and asks, "Why?"

Ristolainen brings physicality versus Myers who only is physically large. Not to mention Myers has a horrid contract.
Then we trade our best rental for a 2nd and another rental? How exactly does that make a lick of sense?

JT in a trade call might work but Halak for Holtby - nada.

Flip where Miller and Pearson are going and you might have a chance. Myers is negative value at this point, you need to add if Buffalo is going to make that deal.

Problem is that in Boston, JT Miller isn't playing 20 minutes a night. Looking at his career, his numbers took off once he started getting that TOI.

Bruins still take that trade, maybe seattle takes holtby, maybe hes an expensive backup next year, maybe he gets bought out. But at this point Miller>>Debrusk

Where are you playing him? He's not playing on the first line and Ritchie/Krejci/Smith have looked good together on the 2nd line. Could you play him on the 2nd line? sure, but who are you bumping down? Smith has come alive playing with Krejci and Ritchie is having a career year playing w/ Krejci. Boston refuses to put Coyle on the wing so you're looking at JT Miller as the 3LW, which is fine, but his playing time is going to go from 20+ a night to 14-16 a night. You look at his P/GP when he plays under 16 minutes and over 16 minutes and a its a pretty big difference.

He'd play on your top 6 and replace Nick Potato Ritchie on top PP unit. He'd get 17-20 mins a night quite easily

Miller plays tough, fast and in all situations. Play him on the 3rd line w Coyle. Coyle is averaging 17M. That's 17 right there. Bruins 4th line has been terrible all year. Give them less time. There is your 18-20M. Highly unlikely you will get him but I would pay Holtby 4M for 1 year as an expensive back up for 1 year to get Miller. He is exactly what the Bruins should be looking for up front. That would be a steal.

Lol our top line doesn't even play 20 a night, but were going to restructure everything so Miller can get 20+ a night.

hes predominately plays LW but he's played all three F positions dating back to his NYR days. Allows you to slot down Ritchie (whos been more of a PP guy) or Smith. You have a lot more flexibility with Miller in your lineup and he's absolutely better than Debrusk. The minutes point is very true, he wont be a PPG player here, but he would still end up playing with a center that would get him the puck, play on PP2 and get 17ish minutes a night.

Maybe that isnt the deal that gets it done for either side, but id love JT Miller in Boston

Not what I said. I explained to you how he could play with Coyle and get18-20m and the other two lines could remain exactly the same. The only "restructuring" would be 4th line minutes. You don't have to like my take on it because it's different than yours but don't fabricate what I said into something different.

Here's the problem, your ATOI of 17 minutes a night is in all situation. 5v5, ES, PK, PP. In this case we're really just looking at 5v5 when these two would play together, right? Coyle this year 12:31 of 5v5 TOI. Could he pick up some time on the PP? sure, but he's probably slotting on PP2, which sees about a minute of TOI a night. So we're up to 13:31 of TOI for Miller. Oh BTW, Miller averages just shy of 4 minutes a night on the PP for Vancouver and that's more than anyone on Boston outside of Pastrnak. Now for fun lets say he replace Bjork on the PK. Bjork gets 1:44 of PK TOI a game, which would now give Miller around 15:13 of TOI. Now we need to find another 3 minutes of TOI and your idea is to take it away from the 4th line, who already plays limited minutes. Our 4th line currently plays 8-10 minutes a night at 5v5 and would now be playing 5 to 7 minutes a night. At that point, why even have a 4th line?

Its not that I don't like the idea, its just that its not a realistic idea based on how Boston likes to roll their lines smile

In the end I would find a way to get Miller 18m+ a game and if it is at the expense of Bjork, Blidh, Seny, Wagner, Kuhlman, Kuraly or on PP1 so be it. I know Boston would be a better team for it. I would rather have three good lines with 4th line not playing much like Winnipeg than be in the situation Boston is now which is basically 2 lines plus Coyle and a bunch of 4th liners dividing up 3rd and 4th line winger minutes. Boston rolls their lines like that because of their personal or rather lack of it. Miller would change that personal and therefore should change how they roll their lines and who gets what ice time. Agree to respectfully disagree with you on this.
