I can’t wait till Miller is traded for LESS than what Fiala got. There’s a reason he hasn’t been dealt yet, the Canucks are being unrealistic with what they think they can get out of a 30yr old rental.
No chance the Canes consider trading Necas for him one for one, much less add.
Not sure how good that Faber guy is considered to be now, but chances are that he gets dealt at the deadline and gets a better return, but atm pretty sure people are giving them offers similar to the Fiala deal more or less. Perhaps a team that is desperate for a 2C and misses out on all the guys hitting the market might get him during the offseason, but if they can't/won't resign him they aren't paying up for him during the off season.
I like how Guerin just ripped the bandage off with the Fiala trade and took what he thought was the best offer, I think Davidson realized quickly that he needed to do the same with DeBrincat if he wanted to ensure that he lands a high pick. Perhaps Bill Armstrong will do the same with Chychrun during the season, I don't think anyone is desperate enough to pay his ridiculous ask yet. I suspect Chychrun will go from a young dman on a cheap contract with term, to a two year rental on a good deal pretty fast.
Kadri, Malkin, Giroux, R Strome, Trocheck, D Strome are all Cs who might hit the UFA market.
Trade market has Miller and Dvorak at the least. More guys are likely to become available once free agency opens.
