oh right, you wanted Miller. Sorry, too many teams and names in my head.
You had mentioned Miller + Fiore.
Would you be willing to swap out Schlemko and insert Benn + Kevin Roy +the 2019 5th (ANA)
I think that too would balance out the salary exchanges
I'm going to reason this out, to make sure we both understand the values involved.
Miller's a luxury I can't afford without moving Schlemko, so if you don't want Schlemko, there's not really a deal to be made.
Benn I need for a playoff run, because I can trust him on either side. Wouldn't consider moving him for a 3rd goalie or a prospect.
Your proposal adds $1M in cap as well. I'd be better off with a $1M dollar goaltender and spending that money elsewhere.
You offered Miller for two 7ths (to Chicago) and Fiore is an undrafted prospect.
I think you undervalued Miller. I'd give you the value of a 5th because the goalie market is weak, as I'm guessing you've noticed. I could get someone less expensive for a lower pick and just run with Niemi as my backup. He's been more or less league average since joining Montreal.
Undrafted prospects are harder to put a value on. Fiore is considered to be fast, but otherwise pretty unrefined. He's back in the Q after only dressing for 1 NHL games, so he still has work to do.
I'll knock the price on Schlemko down to a 5th. That's even with what I would offer for Miller, and a trade I'm willing to make at this point in time.
Roy is worth more than Fiore. I'd be willing to trade Roy, but you'd have to add some value.
I'd be fine with giving you the 5th for Fiore. Maybe you can get a prospect you like better with that pick, or would rather move his contract to make room for someone else. I don't know the details of your situation, so that's your call. I don't know what you value him at, and maybe you'd prefer to keep him. I'd be willing to add Hartnell to free up a roster spot or Mitchell to shave some cap space.
So what that all boils down to is:
Schlemko for Miller
or
Schlemko + 5th (ANA - 2019) + one of Hartnell or Mitchell for Miller + Fiore
or
Schlemko + Roy for Miller + Fiore + ???
