    The Pens are tracking to make the playoffs, so I don't see them moving Rust, but if the wheels all of a sudden fall off then it may become a possibility. That said, this deal is CLOSE, but I don't know it gets it done, but it's close.

    PIT is trying to make playoffs so theyd keep Rust.
    But if they were sellers, TOR overpays big time for a one year rental on the 3rd line

    Rust is the kind of player that fits well with the Leafs imo. Do not follow Pittsburgh a lot but I do know that a move will have to be made to activate Malkin off IR. But idk if he’ll be able to play this season. If you could enlighten me on the situation it would be much appreciated.

    Also we want to contend for a cup. That’s gonna require questionable moves but it will all be worth it for a deep run.

    Keefe knows Miller and he is massive upgrade over Holl. Trust me Miller would pair well with either Sandin or Muzzin.

    No significant moves will be needed when everyone returns. Just sending a few players down like O'Connor and Simon. Next year is a different story when Rust and Kap need to be extended. The emergence of Rodrigues also changes their choice for next year.

    This year however they're fine.

    Ooh ok I didn’t know tbh. Just quickly looked over the capfriendly page but not in depth. However Rust is player the Leafs would be massively interested in if he was available.

    Also if I’m correct y’all have RFA rights over Kappanen. I don’t think his contract was backloaded either. Plus Hallander will be NHL ready next season so your winger depth won’t take a huge hit if Rust doesn’t resign

    I didnt question if Rust is a good fit or not.
    Im telling you a 1st, Mikheyev and a prospect is an overpayment for a player of Rusts caliber

    One thing we are forgetting Keefe and Dubas knows Miller. He’s a former SOO player (ik it’s a meme at this point). They know the player their getting. He has great puck movement ability. The issue with Holl is that they chip it in on his side cause the opposing team knows he can’t break it out:

    Understandable but still Rust reminds me of a Coleman type of player that can be a nuisance on that 3rd line that will play against other teams top lines.

    I'm not saying Rust isn't a candidate to get moved, but I just don't see it happening this year unless the wheels fall off. I don't know how much his rights will be worth before FA starts, but if there's any move, it's like for his rights. I'm not fully confident he'll be returning, but there's a good chance the Pens will lose him for nothing.

    Miller is much better at generating offense than Holl. Neither are terrific in their own end.

    Understandable. Again I might be biased here but like I said before he reminds me of a Coleman type of player that can play big mins and shutdown plus score against other teams top lines like we’ve seen from Tampas 3rd line or Pittsburgh 3rd line in their back 2 back cups

    Keefe coached Miller for 54 games almost 10 years ago. the connection is as minimal as you can get. And no, Miller is bad, he wouldnt pair well with either of those guys.

    He also hasn’t known Bunting for 10 years and look how he turned out.

    Dubas and co. knows how to find undervalued player that plays their style of hockey.

    out of the three years that Holl has been in the league full time, this is the first season where Miller has out produced him offensively

    You’re literally saying that cause he’s on Buffalo. Trust Miller is a good player that’s going to be a good player when put in the correct situation.

    Rust is awesome and I think that's a fair comparison, but I think he's a better all around player than Coleman. Over the last three seasons(including this one) 123 games played, Rust put up 107 points, 51 being goals. He's going to get seriously paid, so I don't even know that TOR would be able to afford him. My fear is someone is going to throw $6.5/$7M at him.

    Yeah, and Bunting was coming off a great shortened season, cost no assets to give up and signed 2 years at under a million. Miller has been producing mediocre results at best for years would cost trade assets and would make more than double Bunting's cash. Miller isnt undervalued, he's over valued and bad

    no, im literally saying that because he's not good, he was only ever good when he was making 1 mill as a 23 year old to play very sheltered hockey on a deep defence.
