Aside from the quiet signing of Mitch Marner by the Vegas Golden Knights, the two biggest acquisitions of the summer go to the Canadiens and the Hurricanes.
The Montreal Canadiens, of course, acquired defenseman Noah Dobson, while the Carolina Hurricanes picked up defenseman K'Andre Miller.
Dobson cost Montreal: two first-round picks and forward Emil Heineman.
Miller cost Carolina: a first-round pick, a second-round pick, and defenseman Scott Morrow.
We're talking about fairly similar prices.
That said, according to expert Jonny Lazarus from Daily Faceoff, Miller will in fact be better in Carolina than Noah Dobson will be in Montreal. Wow.
The Hurricanes' major acquisition K'Andre Miller will be better than the Canadiens' major acquisition Noah Dobson, according to Jonny Lazarus
Now that's surprising.
"I think K'Andre Miller will end up being a more important piece in Carolina than Noah Dobson will be in Montreal, and I don't think that's a hot take by any means."
