Default Knights sign Colin Miller, 4 YR $15.5 M (3.875 AAV)

Good for him. Earned a nice payday after being taken in the expansion draft.

The Vegas Golden Knights announced a four-year deal for the 25-year-old defenceman worth $3.875 million a season.

Taken in the fifth round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings, Miller has 19 goals and 51 assists in 182 career games over three seasons with the Bruins and Golden Knights.

I'd have expected more caphit given his scoring numbers.

Unfortunately for Miller, Peter Chiarelli is not his GM.

It occurs to me that I was thinking of Nate Schmidt. Still a good deal though.

home town discount? Really wants to be in Vegas.

Really good comparable to use with Hanifin.

Cane predicted $4,189,921 on a 4 year deal...

Expecting guys that just got traded to take a discount isn't realistic. I don't expect either of these signings to be cheap.

Loyalty and trust have yet to be built and Flames have shown their interest by the package given up to acquire them.

So it was a whole $300k less than what Cane predicted? Wow, what a discount!

(also, Cane is just one person's opinion - you act like it is the mark of truth)
