Rumor: Adrian Dater - Sakic looking to add a C with a bit of term and Goalie insurance- Mentions JT Miller

[Peter Griffin]

This guy floats rumors that are almost always erroneous. He has no connections with the team. He even had his press credential revoked.

Yes, I was just playing devil’s advocate in terms of the “Newhook future 2nd line center” narrative.

 

[bossram]

Barron/Helleson + 2023 1st + Olausson + 2022 3rd for Miller and Halak.

I am pretty high on Helleson and am excited to see him at the Olympics.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

If you think Newhook, Barron and a 1st is the return for Miller - you will be disappointed. I would be willing to bet Newhook is a non-starter, and I'm a Canuck fan.

He will be the ask and I’m sure the only target that will move the needle in a trade. Vancouver loves JT Miller so it will take a player that they see being able to replace him or a top RHD Prospect like Braden Schneider from the Rangers, who are also “all in” on Miller. He’s they type of guy who helps win Stanley Cups and could be a Smyth winner.

Huge leader too who is pretty much always healthy. Guy plays like an ox.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Why is Sportsnet interviewing guys who aren’t even allowed near the team they used to cover lol.

 

[TeddyBare]

I can see fully understand them wanting an upgrade on Jost


Jost was in over his head against Vegas and got destroyed.

 

[TradeAllStromes]

Take strome, have him for a 3rd

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

the real question is, what can the canucks buy with miller, halak, and a 2nd?

 

[Perratrooper]

Not 100% sure... seems like theyve been hush hush about it. Just labeled lower body injury. Hopefully hes back before deadline, and can show he is healhty.... i think a few playoff teams would love to add his center depth(can also play wing).... and is a pretty good leader/locker room guy. And i agree if we retain 1-1.5 a team like Colorado might be very interested.

Would be a lot cheaper than a guy like Miller, asset wise. And you could prob manage to get Stolarz as part of the deal who is a solid back up(dostal looks ready, and honstly ericksson ek prob deserves to get a look in the not too distant future)... ducks are in a position to move stolarz i think

So what would be your ask for Henrique ($1.5 retained) and Stolarz?

Also how is Henrique’s skating?

 

[Perratrooper]

Take strome, have him for a 3rd

Dylan Strome?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

A 2 year rental ala Tampa Bay is exactly the kind of move I'd want the Avs to make. Especially for a stud like Miller

Yup. Our issue is we dont have the same quality of assets Tampa Bay had that deadline where they added Goodrow and Coleman. They had 2 1sts in that draft that they were able to use to acquire said pieces. The Avs dont even have a 1st, or 2nd this year.

It'll be trickier for us but it could still be done. Its just going to completely rid of us of our prospect pool essentially. We have some real solid prospects. Particularly on Defense. Barron being a recent 1st rounder who has already had a taste of NHL action and looking real solid in the AHL. Helleson who broke out at the WJC 2 years ago and now is going to represent the US at the Olympics, and Behrens, a 2nd rounder last year who's nearly PPG as a freshman in College this year.


I think all 3 Dmen should carry solid value at the deadline. They also have 1st round pick from last year Olausson, I'd be a little surprised if they traded him, but if its for a C with term I think anybody will be available.

MAF

 

[Mike Dukarm]

Dvorak + Allen?

 

[BCNate]

Barron/Helleson + 2023 1st + Olausson + 2022 3rd for Miller and Halak.

I am pretty high on Helleson and am excited to see him at the Olympics.

Canucks would take that and run. I don't think the Avs would consider it though. You'd have to retain 50% on Miller for sure.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Take Adam Henrique

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Barron/Helleson + 2023 1st + Olausson + 2022 3rd for Miller and Halak.

I am pretty high on Helleson and am excited to see him at the Olympics.

No chance Colorado does that.

As good as Newhook is he’s not really a need for Vancouver, we more size and grit, we needs a partner for Hughes. Trading Miller for Newhook seems a bit silly to me.

Van needs everything

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Barron+Jost+2023 1st+ 2022 conditional 3rd(If they win cup, we also get 2023 2nd) Miller 1m retained and Halak would be fair IMO.

Jost still has potential, Barron has serious upside, Avs don't have a 2022 1st, and the conditional 3rd is for retention, addition of Halak.

 

[Muffin]

Take out Olausson and it’s probably close. He’s asking for the equivalence of three 1st round picks.

 

[iFan]

Van needs everything

we have guys like Hoglander and Granland, we have a lot of skilled smaller guys in the top 6.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Agreed especially since The Canucks have Horvat and Pettersson down the middle. Pettersson has struggled a bit this season and has dabbled with playing wing but he is still a cornerstone for the franchise. Miller is our biggest asset that could be moved, i think he only gets moved for a Dman as the main piece of the return. Without Miller, Canuck are still decent at forward

Horvat
Pettersson
Boeser
Garland
Hoglander
Podkolzin

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Helleson would be a great fit for Vancouver. RHD that's really good Defensively, but also has some offensive skill to go with that.

Perfect partner for Hughes if his game translates to the NHL well. The Olympics should really shine a light on just how steady and consistent his game is.

 

[Gstank]

Personally
I would accept

Jost
Barron/Helleson
Stienburg/2023 1st

for
Miller

reading what dater said it sounds like Newhook is off limits

 

[The Moose is Loose]

and im sure a laugh and a simple good luck in the playoffs is the response from the gm.

Alright tell me what better offers you’re getting

Or just keep him till he walks

 

[Rebels57]

They should just trade for Giroux then extend him at something like 3 x $6

Would love to see Giroux finish his career playing with a powerhouse after the bullshit he just had to deal with for a decade.
