If Chytil can stay healthy, he will be a really good add for them. Mancini sounds like a high IQ player that is solid defensively, so both could be excellent adds.

And yeah generally if a pick ends up getting protected, it is unprotected the next year. I don't recall ever seeing one that is protected in multiple years. So I assume you are correct

Nevermind they gave the pick away for a rental

Bold strategy when you’re out of a playoff spot. And I like Marcus pettersson

If this trade is also to reiterate to Miller they chose Petey over him... Damn that's cold.

Lol especially if assets from his trade were rapidly included in this trade.

EP40 is more talented but I would have traded him before Miller, despite their ages whatever who cares what year they were born. If two players skill levels are comparable I want the guy who engages more consistently physically and emotionally in games every time. The Canucks have been a poorly run franchise ever since Mike Gillis left. The Alvin and Tocchet hype train is nearly fully derailed for Vancouver fans.

I think a big part of it, is what's your window. If your window is like the next 3 years? Miller all day. If your thinking "Be competitive now, and be serious favourites in 5-8 years" (for whatever the reason, a lot of young prospects, or a younger roster you're hoping to mature a bit/develop more at the pro level), you gotta go with Pettersson. That decision obviously changes if the ages were the same (in which case I absolutely agree with you, go for the guy more physically/emotionally engaged over the guy who is a bit more skilled).
