GophersBenJ: Fair enough! I think purely looking at the player ability, I would agree with you. This was my thoughts for why I believe it could be worth a First + Fiala
1. Point Production: Millers 1.06PPG to Fialas 0.67PPG
2. Contract Security: Miller has an additional year at 5.25M. good value rental for this production. Fiala's next contract is 6M+. Suters and Parise's Buyout also kick in next year. Is there enough cap for Fiala?
3. Position: JT plays centre and 1A/B centres arent cheap. A 1-2-3 punch of Miller - Eriksson Ek - Hartman is Top 5 in the NHL.
Reasons Against
1. Age - Fiala is 3 years younger
2. Prime - Miller is in his prime right now. Fiala still has several years to go.
Love to hear your thoughts.
