Leafs need their own unabashed cheerleaders like Hrudey.

Can Miller save the Rangers season?
That is two 100 point guys traded in a week. That is rare

What does this do for the Canucks room. Based on all accounts a lot of tension was just removed from that group. What do they do with it?
I feel like the Rangers were always going to be able to recover and at least claim a wildcard spot. They are better than those other teams in the east.
Can the Canucks do the same in the West? Will be a challenge I think.
I had previously said I thought the Rangers would jump back in to a playoff spot even without Miller, and I too don't know how the Canucks fare.
They are two different teams with and without Hughes on the ice. The splits are incredible.
I think they can hold off Calgary and end up playing Win or Edm in the first round.

I don't care about the Canucks room, Pettersson better come out and look like the 100 point version of himself cause he's got no more excuses so sulk.

At first glance it appears the Rangers handily won this trade.
The team that gets the best player wins the trade. Chytil is half the player Miller is. The Rangers got the best player so they won the trade
For Vancouver this wasn't about improving the roster.
It was about changing the culture in the dressing room. So the return on the trade was of secondary consideration. Just getting rid of Miller is addition by subtraction for them.
The Leafs should probably be taking notes and let Marner walk to free agency.
His loser mentality and refusal to accept personal accountability are two things that don't belong on a sports team. They don't need god on skates blaming everyone else if they lose in the first round again. It would be a win just getting him off the team.
Sometimes it's not about asset management or getting the best return on investment possible.

Crazy what a competent coach can do for a team. The Monahan injury really hurts them though (and my fantasy team
).Marchenko is such a fun player and people will finally start giving him the respect he deserves soon.

Also missing Jenner and Gudbranson. Just shows that good work ethic helps level the ice.Crazy what a competent coach can do for a team. The Monahan injury really hurts them though (and my fantasy team

Theyre a fun team to watch and root for. They got a lot of good young pieces in place and if they play their cards right they could be a continuous playoff team for the next 5-10 years.

Petterson is a good player.
But he's lacking the muscle needed to truly succeed at his position. He reminds me a lot of some of our Leafs. Zero aggression, gets pushed off the puck easily, and avoids all physical contact.
Miller was the better centre.
They guy has brought in 0 (ZERO) first round picks the entire time he has been there. In fact he has moved 1 (ONE) out for EK65 and his team missed the playoffs last year.
People do not like Dubas because of what he was unable to accomplish here. That story is written and it cannot be changed. He failed massively. No one cares what he is doing in PIT.

Wow the next 3 years of cap increases are even bigger than I expected. McDavid’s next deal is going to be off the charts

Stars pick up Granlund and Ceci from the Sharks for a 1st and 3rd.
The playoffs in the West will be great entertainment.

Their plan is to win now as they have promised that aging core.
He'll have to move some of those picks for current roster players.
That team is caught in limbo between a retool and a rebuild and will have missed the playoffs for 3 straight seasons as Crosby, Malkin and Letang approach 40.
