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

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Are you talking about the jabronis named Benoit Groulx and Adam Sykora being scratched or did I miss something else that was reported?

Wouldn't be surprised if Zibanejad waived and those are some of the pieces going back to VAN also but idk. Weird deal to randomly formulate a return on, feels like it'll be a blockbuster of pieces

I'd be pretty unhappy if Miller went to the Bruins. Odds are that he is back to being a ppg centre by next season as soon as whatever weirdness is causing this season goes away.

Let's send them Juulsen instead, that guys almost a double agent already anyways.

Miller will at worst be a PPG center who can play great defense (in the playoffs and in big matchups, he might not try on defence every single night though).

He will also bring the grit needed to win a playoff series against a team like the Florida Panthers.

He needs a change of scenery however, because he seems to function much better on winning teams.

I think the return for Miller will be higher than what most people are expecting in this thread. People are treating him like he's washed up. He's still the same player he was last season, he just needs a new environment.

According to Friedman, there was something somewhat close between the Canucks and Rangers in the last day but it's off now.

Moving Miller over Pettersson is the right move

I think a team that believes they can win a Cup this season is the most likely destination for Miller.

Doesn't make sense for the Rangers as they're not even going to make the playoffs.

Devils or Stars make sense. Maybe Bruins.

Dhaliwal tweeted that two of the rangers prospects that were scratched today in the ahl would have been apart of the deal. Deal fell through tho

 

[Zirakzigil]

Get it over with already.

Dallas hijacking Miller from cheap NYR would be hilarious

What I'm more getting at, is what urgency do the Rangers have to make a trade for Miller right now?

The deal falling through kinda shows that they're willing to walk away (at least for now).

A team that thinks they can win this season will be more willing to get a deal done right now.

this is the 10203430294 miller trade that has fell through lol

 

[Quinning]

What does Dallas have to offer U23 for Miller?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Good news, Friedman says EP wants to stay.

 

[M2Beezy]

What does Dallas have to offer U23 for Miller?

Im not sure

 

[Kimota]

Umm I am thinking another team made a better offer for Miller than the Rangers?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Canucks aren't winning any trade with Miller if all of that is true lmao

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

 

[GKJ]

Which one of Dallas' big money players would they be moving?

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I wouldn't put Miller in the lineup if it is this close. What if he gets hurt tonight? Would be stupid

Hijacking? More like saving from.

 

[SI90]

They should be building around Hughes and Pettersson

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Canucks are a mess of a franchise

 

[Goal Caufield50]

The Canucks are a mess of a franchise

this will be subtraction by subtraction if miller leaves

you will be disappointed then because he has 5 full years left in his 30s. If he had just 1-2 yrs you'd get a decent return. 5 yrs is something else because the last 3 yrs are a concern. And poor ROI

That is why tesm want to talk to him about his intent to retire if he is not putting up the numbers.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Gonna be a bunch of boo birds out for Miller tonight

I would be soo happy.

Come on Dallas

Did you miss the part where they signed Pettersson to an 8 year contract?

It’s just that the no-trade clause hasn’t kicked in, and the player hasn’t been meshing for 65-70 games dating back to last season…

Pettersson is a very good player, but nowhere near a franchise player. He’s available for the right price.
