If Miller is mad as reported yesterday and he wants to be Westcoast , California , I don't think his NTC would be an issue

I meant Marleau sorry.

If he's mad, then I would give him away for nothing. That would be a terrible teammate who values his own playing time above team success.

Marceau is old and overpaid like Miller. They are both still useful but, with all the playoff Houdini acts , combined with their disappointments right now, they could move him.

Maybe Miller Markstrom for Marleau Niemi?

I would take the deal in a heartbeat, just not sure that the sharks would. Not sure the cap would work either. If SJS really struggles the next couple of games I could see Marleau being the big ticket Trade deadline acquisitions this year though.

Marleau very possibly may not want to move.

I am just making conversation. We don't have the assets to move to get a decent young top 6 ,so it needs to be a top 6 with issues. SJ is struggling so they can me to mind

Miller is a Benning guy he isn't going anywhere. Rollie's opinion on goalie matters is probably huge in the management scheme so unless he has some serious issues with Miller also I see nothing happening. Its all about a playoff spot at this point I feel we are better equipped than they are at this point in the season in the season. Watching SanJose against Nashville last night they are not fairing any better than we are at this point.

I was never in support of Miller anyways. I would rather use that 6 mil for scoring.

Earlier he was dictating which games he wants and which ones Lack gets.

I usually keep quiet about it but I like Lack over Miller

It makes for good debate in the morning. It isn't ridiculously far fetched either. They need a goalie. Niemi is definitely on the block. Marleau has been a trade talk piece out SanJose for the last few years.

I think Miller wanted to sign in SJ this year. I am not sure how much arm twisting would be required. His Hollywood wife would love for him to live in Cali

I don't see any other team offering up a top 6 without hitting us hard

I had no problem with that trade of Miller + Matthias for Marleau and 3rd rounder.

I think a lower pick would be fine too. Miller a free agent signing and Matthias, a pending ufa for a top 6 player with a couple more years of remaining contract, but not a cheap cap hit either...

It would add some scoring punch to the 2nd line.

For a good part of the year scoring was our biggest problem . Lately we have been on fire.

I think our goalies are solid most nights. I also don't have a problem with our D ,even now. As Daniel said WD plays a team D with a good system. I agree we do and honestly trust our D even with missing our top 3

I don't mind sticking with this lineup , or selling off pieces. If rumours are true about looking for a top 6, PM seems to be the most realistic acquisition

I was the only one at the beginning of the season okay with the Miller deal. I'm still good with it. I always liked Miller's style of play. I would stick with Miller for now. If he can get us 7 out of 10 points in the next 5 games I wouldn't even consider moving him to SanJose. This is a tough road trip and he needs to prove that he can get us to the playoffs. This trip is huge for him and to whatever happens at the deadline. He knows it. I am sure that is why Lack got the game in Minny because he wasn't going to get any in the next five that is for certain. Unless Miller blows a game in one period Eddie will ride the pine this road trip.

Hey nuck fans. Dont shoot me. Im a Leaf fan in Vancouver, and i was thinking of a trade scenario that could help both teams. You guys will probably hate tgis because my trade offer involves players that are Leafs and you hate Leafs, but hear me out.

To Van:
JVR
Gardiner
-
Reason: JVR is the absolute perfect compliment of skill, speed and size for the Sedins. Insane hand eye, and hands in tight. Uses his wheels a little more and hes a superstar imo. Gardiner is the perfect solution for your powerplay point with wonderful creativity and untapped potential as a qb.
-
To Tor:
Horvat
Sbisa
Kassian
1st.
-
Leafs receive a wonderful young center to eventually play shutdown minutes and contribute offense. Kassian returns home in hopes of discovering his potential. Sbisa improves our blueline defensively, ans the 1st allows us the opportunity to stockpile draft picks and potentially move up in the draft.
-
Am i totally out to lunch? I think its a pretty even trade. I know you guys adore Horvat though, i dont blame ya.

- Rysko81

Take out the Vancouver 1st and value is fair

You do know Miller is one bad period away though before Vancouver Media turn this into a full blown goalie controversy

The best thing I can say about this team right now is everyone is playing for each other and for Willie Desjardins. That makes for good hockey.

The way they are bonding and sticking up for each other reminds me the year of the cup run. They went everywhere together. I see that since WD exploded

A few other top 6 forwards that may be a cheap acquisition are Yaakipov Sharp , Lupul Gaborik, Hodgson
