And if they can get the Perron - Norris - Batherson line to start contributing consistently they will have three good lines. It's the 4th line that needs an improvement at the trade deadline IMO & adding a big C/RW who can drop the gloves & give this team a little more jam could be the catalyst that pushes this team farther.

I am more than ready to move on from Gaudette... we could upgrade on Highmore as well but he has been ok.
A winger like Connor Brown would help.

I was really hoping that we were going to be in on Connor Brown after watching him in the playoffs for the Oilers last Spring.
He would be perfect in the bottom 6 and to jump up in the top 6 as an energy player, when needed.

Did you watch him when he played for Columbus? Or did you just assume that a smaller Swedish D was bad defensively?

He was fine. Health was his main issue.

No I see him moving around and I see him scratched and read what people that do watch him have said about him and I see some stats.

I bet that Ott does not take him & he clears waivers.

Sens couldn't get in on this because they didn't have a Brannstrom level piece to include.

The old Rangers are back baby!

League should save VCR and void that trade it’s such one sided for NYR

f***ing gross a player like Miller gets that back and even worse how doesn’t a team beat that trash can return…

I want to hear what the protection is. My guess is that the Rangers relented and lessened the protection, so the Canucks are gambling on this trade producing a pick in the 10-14 type range like the Karlsson trade did for San Jose. None of the other pieces are particularly valuable.

It was the right move by the Canucks. It gives them breathing room to shop Pettersson in the summer when teams have more cap flexibility, and also know that the cap is going up to 113M after 2 season. My guess is that since Carolina moved in a different direction, trade offers for Pettersson were bad. With Miller having a NMC, trade offers for him were always going to be limited so it made sense to move him now and wait with Pettersson.

NYR probably gonna make the playoffs now ? Ffs

It's one sided, but the Rangers are almost doing Vancouver a favour by even giving them that. That's the reality of dealing a player with a NMC. It's Vancouver's fault partially for not dealing with this during the offseason when teams had more cap flexibility, and mistakenly thinking Pettersson and Miller were over their issues.

It's the NMC and trading the player at the most difficult time of the year to move him, also combined with dealing from the position of weakness where everybody knows they have to make a trade because of the personal issues in the room.

Rangers pick is top 13 protected. That's pretty rough for the Canucks because it almost entirely guarantees that they can't luck into a good pick this year. If the pick transfers, it's probably because the Rangers made the playoffs, in which case it will be late teens at best. Otherwise, they have to wait an entire extra year for the pick.

With that said, looking at the disarray the Rangers are in, it could end up being like the Matt Duchene trade. So maybe Canucks fans will get lucky that way with an unprotected pick in the McKenna draft.

Did a quick search on Mancini. A big defender but couldn’t find too much info on him. O M God, the Canucks have really unraveled after having a pretty good year last season.

Undoubtedly the proudest day of Drury's career.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

That is an absolutely putrid trade. Putrid.

 

[Boud]

Not many options for a Miller trade here. Canucks had to swallow their expectations and get the most they could.
