Rumor: Canucks: Should I stay or should I go? Pete stays and Miller goes!

[BWJM]

I have a feeling Miller will be traded to the Washington Capitals.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Yall are way off. If its going to be some random team its Vegas. This is such a Vegas move.

 

[Canucks LB]

Who vetoed the deal?

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Looks like it’s going to happen and there is a bidding war, guys like Miller win and he really gives a shit about it. A Happy Miller is like a unicorn in the League and with the Cap rising he’s on a great contract.

Owner?

 

[Nikki Potnick]

What does Dallas have to offer U23 for Miller?

Bischel and Kyrou (Stars fans can jump in and add to this)? I would assume Canucks would want a Stankoven as a piece

Stankoven/Bourque/Bischel/Stranges/Kyrou.

Would have to send back some cap. I'm having a hard time seeing it happening.

You did cause you want version XXVII of this thread.

 

[jlb124]

this will be subtraction by subtraction if miller leaves

Right, they don't have to trade Him. Especially not for a poor package. They already said once that they aren't trading Him. That was in early December. Miller said there was only one team he would go to, Pittsburg, his hometown. The media have gone nuts with this Miller Petey thing. Those two already said there wasn't a story.

Looks like Miller refused to waive for Devils

Did Larry brooks tell you that?

Interesting to hear Dallas is apparently in the mix.

Miller is the type of player the Stars need but I'm not sure what we can offer. Canucks would certainly want someone who can help them now

I'll guess NYR were close to agreeing to a price then Dallas entered the mix and Vancouver upped their price and NYR said no

 

[Zirakzigil]

Title updated per latest information. Lets gooooooo!

 

[Riggins]

Who were the NYR prospects scratched for Hartford today?

So Canucks fans should prepare to be extremely underwhelmed

The Canucks are a mess of a franchise

This stuff is always funny coming from fans of teams that have been gifted generational talents. Once Crosby retires maybe the Pens will actually have to build a team like everyone else.

Yeah and with Kyle Dubas

Or we keep him.....so there's that....

Canucks have had a hardon for Lafreniere for a few years now.

Stars (or any team) need a fragile dude, that gets into his head when even slight problems are in the horizon? Disagreed.

I might be wrong, but I think JT Miller is more likely to return the Bo Horvat package: that is a 1st, prospect, player, plus a little more here and there than be moved in a superstar for superstar mega blockbuster.

Just don't think teams would be in the head space of acquiring a recent 100 point scorer, but more of a 70-80 point guy plus some baggage and a high cap hit in-season.

 

[Tawnos]

Total speculation in my head is that Sykora and Chmelar were scratched for a potential trade, while Groulx was scratched for a potential emergency recall to the Rangers. And since he’s a C, that would mean a C was part of the deal to Vancouver. And *that* means either Zibanejad (wishful part of my brain) or Chytil (cynical part of my brain).

This post is totally meaningless, of course.

 

[crowi]

Or we keep him.....so there's that....

Huh? You've not paid attention at all to even your team.
The entire point is that your club seems to have a poor locker room and they're hoping to fix that moving a great player out.

Cap is going to be the issue with the Rangers.
