<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I think that’s more because the center he should be playing with looks lost.

He can play center. It’s more than just out of necessity. His skill set is best suited on the wing.</div></div>

Miller and Petey haven't really played together this year outside of the power play. They started together when he originally got to Van because they wanted to shelter the rookie with a veteran that can take draws and move to the wing but in the process they realized that Miller was more effective as a center. And a lot of people have been talking about his two way game and I want to put a slight damper on that. He's an offense first player, he's a passionate player, he's a gritty player, there are some defensive woes that come with it. That said, he plays PK, he plays top line PP. He scores at will on a not so great team which means he drives offense, and that he doesn't rode coat tails. He comes at a nice AAV for the rest of this and next. Potentially for 50% of that AAV too if someone is willing to give up an additional asset. He's a really good add at center or the wing if you're looking for depth in case a top 6 center goes down in the playoffs. Every team trying to make a run should want him. He's that good.

Out of curiosity, what is it about his game that makes you think he is a winger and not a center?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>shmoeman</b></div><div>Taylor Hall was also a season removed from winning the MVP and had in the previous season and a half had 50 goals and 80 assists in 109 games. Taylor Hall (a rental) was also traded for a 2nd rounder and Anders Bjork last year.

Matt Duchene trade was obviously an abomination in the end, but Ottawa was a goal away from the cup the previous year so that 1st was viewed as a mid-20s pick at most and we know what happened, can't just pick two instances that help you without a little background.

Miller may very well go for a heaping return, those are just poor examples. think whatever team that will give that much of a return will regret it, despite Miller being great</div></div>

Lol it's all fun man. I agree with you.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>For one thing, the only piece in that Hall package that is truly worth a damn is the pick that brought them Mercer. Those other three players all have major weaknesses, and my end up as career AHLers. More importantly, one cannot simply pick out terrible deals made by one GM and set that as the standard. The Blues fleeced Buffalo a few years back, but that doesn't mean every GM will hand us a similar gift. Frankly, the entire notion of trade comparables is faulty. Every situation is different. And some GMs are smarter than others. Sometimes by a lot.</div></div>

Agreed. when we're talking prospects, they can easily turn into duds or they can become Samuel Girards. You don't know. And who's to say a GM won't get "fleeced" here with a Miller trade. We won't know until year 2 or 3 when JT is long gone from whatever team he goes to. The deals above are rumors that have been posted online based on the current ask. Do they happen? Probably not but that's the ask right now and if they won't settle for anything less until the off-season.

Yeah, you're right. Miller is healthy and is a GAMER. Clutch performer as well. I'd rather have him than Eichel at this point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>None of those would be accepted. But you asked for the most realistic, so I guess I'd have to say Calgary.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GabrielJ</b></div><div>Greenway is going nowhere. It's weird how on here , certain others who believe a player who was just resigned to multiple years deal will be traded. We didn't sign him to trade him. Also JT Miller under no circumstances is worth three 1st round pick. Sorry, but your gm , and fans can ask, doesn't mean it will happen. Minnesota wouldn't pay that</div></div>

JT's a point per game player with 2 years left on his deal. With 50% retained, you don't think he's worth a high end prospect, a 25th to 32nd first round pick and a top 9 roster player?

If not, what's he worth?
