Miller to Dallas?
Most likely Jim Nill trying to get yzerman to lower his price on bishop buy acting like he is looking elsewhere

Why does Vancouver want another washed up again goalie?

Your thinking/talking/writing that this is a real story.

This is clickbait.

Bishop can lower his own price all by himself.

Vancouver is going to bad again next year.

Why wouldn’t they take neimi in a miller trade if they could increase the return on miller? Miller is probably worth at best a 4th in a straight up trade.

Hahaha exactly! No I dont think Jim nill had ek write this but GM's have been known to "publicly" be interested in another teams piece and "leak" their interest to try to make the other gm panicky and soften their expectation for return.

Maybe. I'm keeping an eye on Carolina. A league source is telling me that Miller might be traded for Ward. When I wear lipstick it makes my lips move faster.

I don't get this logic. Trade for an equally bad goalie with another year on his contract instead of either rebuilding or attempting to upgrade?

Use money/cap space to buy better picks/prospects in trades then you would otherwise get; because your season is going to be a waste anyways.

Toronto, Carolina and AZ have all done this recently.

Are we Headed for a Ryan Miller/Lindy Ruff Reunion?

Ryan Miller in Dallas wouldn't solve their crappy goal tending problem. So, yeah, i hope this happens......

The upgrade would be what you get for miller and that would increase with taking on a terrible contract. We have markstrom so either crap dallas goalie would be a back up next season then walk as a UFA as we then have Demko to take over.

But what do you expect to realistically get from DAL as incentive for taking on a bad contract? A 2nd round pick maybe? Is that worth taking on a bad contract?

The only real incentive as I see is that VAN could expose Niemi or Lehtonen and protect Markstrom.

I guess more than anything I can't see why DAL would view Miller THE upgrade that can get them over the heap.

dallas might be the only team willing to take a chance at miller with Ruff there.

Though I don’t see it changing their fortunes … and Rutherford needs to move fleury more than benning needs to move miller.

I think fleury ends up in dallas.
