<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Victor24</b></div><div>Miller is signed from 30 - 37 at 8MM per. He is worth it now and maybe next year. He is not worth it for the last three years. He will also hinder the Pens in their real goal, building a team. He would eat up nearly half of what they have in cap space. It is a bad investment. Now if Van ate 2MM, I would trade 14 overall. Short of that, I would pass.</div></div>

Having a contract at 8 mil in 5 yrs when you are rebuilding and nowhere near the cap ceiling is not going to hinder your rebuild. That would be the case even in a continued flat cap but we know the cap will go up significantly. 8 mil in 5-7 yrs will look like a 5 mil contract now to illustrate the point even more. So you get a top line winger for the rest of your window 2-4 yrs for a 1st and 2nd and you get out from Granlund.

It takes up 3 mil extra on your cap for the next two yrs. It's a great move really. Canucks would never do it because they think theyre good but they should do it to recoup some assets and try and challenge in 3-4 yrs.

You do make good points. I am just loath to trade 14 overall. Perhaps if it was changed to 2024 1st (top 10 protected), I could get on board.
