Man, i would be overjoyed if it is BU's Nick Bonino...
2nd round pick!!!! man

[CTLightning26]

it wont be christensen....miller sounds right....ability to make our top six

I was going to guess Miller, but thought he was too much of a pet project for ANA to let go of.

Nice pickup, if so.

Forecaster:

ASSETS: Has an excellent work ethic and above-average offensive instincts. Will play through traffic.
FLAWS: Has been unable to translate his offensive acumen to the pro game. Needs to add a lot of bulk to compete like he can at the NHL level.
CAREER POTENTIAL: Top-six winger.


He's a Spartan. Had 43 points in 44 games his final year there. Decent AHL numbers. A guy who'll compete for a top 6 spot. Not a lock.

Still cannot find any concrete confirmation for drew miller and a 3rd.

Ryan Carter??

They might be compiling top-6 capable guys to battle it out to play with Vinny4 and Tanguay or Sykora?

Miller, Veilleux, Tukonen. etc.

Confirmed per Lightning Twitter -

The Lightning have acquired LW Drew Miller and a 3rd rd pick in 2010 from Anaheim in exchange for Evgeny Artyukhin.

Honestly, i'd have to say that would be a great trade.

Hey, it could all click in for Arty some day, but i would think its 70-30 against
if it does, at least it would be in the west

No R2....Tanguay signing imminent.


Imma miss R2, the NHL just wouldn't let him play his game here.

Looks like I owe Lawton a kiss on the cheek...
