Oil: Russell

Tampa: Miller

Oilers move out a D for a young guy to come in, take on more cap but get a potential top 6 player.

Tampa clears cap and they get a serviceable defenseman as they currently don’t have many under contract.

Russell is overpaid, and really a 3rd pair D man. Not worth saving the 1 mill and value of the players isn’t really close. Tampa has their top 4 still locked up next year I doubt they’ll over spend on a bottom pair guy and give up a valuable asset to do it.

Miller isn’t potential top 6, he’s legit top 6. Last year was the first time since 14-15 he did have 20 goals or 50 points and that’s because he didn’t get PP time and was used pretty strictly in a bottom 6 role. And he still had 47 points.

Not even close. Miller has way more value.

Miller would cost a 2nd round pick and no cap going to Tampa. Tampa will probably basically need to give Miller, Palat, Johnson, Callahan And Killhorn away to get Karlsson.

I’d definitely trade a second for Miller. I’m thinking he’d cost more than that. I agree Killhorn and Johnson are going to be traded for sure I’d assume though.

To clear cap for Karlsson Tampa needs to dump Callahan and trade 1 or 2 of Palat Miller Killorn Gourde or Johnson (my preference in that order) . Might have to make more moves next year for resignings but for next season that’s about all they’d have to do.
