Thread: Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>The rebuild has to end at some point particularly for a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 2018, a general manager that is already 2 years into his tenure, and a team that will add another top 2 player this year.

Miller is the type of player NJ needs. Can play first line center, but can also play wing. On a line with Hughes, he can take important draws and switch if need during play. He's a leader who will guide the young players.</div></div>

Of course it does, but you don't get out of a rebuild by trading a 20 year old that just had a great rookie year and a 1st for a 29 year old coming off a career year that's going to command a ton of money. If Miller is such a great fit on a rebuilding team, why is Vancouver trading him? Right, because he doesn't fit their window. Same can be said for New Jersey.

I don't doubt that he's the type of player we need, but this deal just doesn't make sense. If NJ packages one of the best rookies in the game + a 1st, it would be for a star under the age of 25.

Thread: Would they consider
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>i confused how you think it is too much, pasta is literally what holtz is supposed to become. But they key word is "supposed", Boston is still betting on holtz and whoever that 1st rd pick is to pan out.
Pasta most likely would be a sign and trade so their goes any thought of getting him in UFA, Pasta could most likely bring in an eichel like return
1. Pasta has been more consistent then eichel
2. Pasta will be coming at a much cheaper AAV then eichel
3. Pasta isn't coming off an injury that really no one knows how he will rebound/recover
4. Pasta isn't begging his team to trade him
Lets be honest we all expected buffalo to get a much bigger haul for Eichel but because of those 4 reasons i listed above Buffalo only got about 3/4 value of what eichel once was so i don't see why Pasta couldn't get similiar of more value. Pasta just proved he can score 40 goals whether top C's like Bergeron or Krecji are centering him or 3C's like Haula is centering him, he took a huge downgrade in linemates from Marchand and Bergeron to Hall and Haula yet his production stayed almost the same. he's been on pace for - 30 goals 6 years in a row - 40 goals in 3 years and - 50 goals 1 year. Now what do you think he would do with Players like Hughes and Bratt who are both elite playdrivers and playmakers, i wouldn't be surprised if pasta became a consistent 45-55 goal scorer maybe even hitting 60 one year if him hughes and bratt really click</div></div>

Agree with a lot of what you said here, but this package is pretty close in value to the Eichel trade.
