I was listening to 650 during a game on the drive home afew week back, and I kept hearing "Petey-D" does this, and that. And I was like oh sweet he got called up.
Only to later realize it was P-D-G and lose all excitement.
Nice to see it happen for real.

They called "D-Petey" up before for a sniff and didn't play him. We'll see if it's different this time.

The offer for JT Miller must just be absolutely terrible, or he would have been traded ages ago

We knew that though at the time that they wanted to get him up and back up, and have a pro practice just to be familiar.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same thing given Forbort isn’t the problem, but also maybe they just want a look and want a shake up and that’s an easy move.

Yeah unless Forbort is injured I see very little chance he breaks in on the left-side.
Well it sounds like the Rangers were the ones who pulled out because they wanted retention and/or more favorable conditions on their 1st round pick.
So if the reported package wasn't already bad enough, they were looking to make it worse.
Which is scary to say the least.
maybe they try somethng crazy and let soucy go on the right side

Considering the rumors were Cytrill, Lindgren and the Rags wanting us to retain, yes, yes they are. Drury is basically playing Be a GM mode and adding in as little as possible til we say yes.
At this point, it's either make a serious offer or we wait until the summer.
If I’m being optimistic, I think both Miller and the team have soured on one another (but perhaps not irreconcilably) and Miller has made a soft request for a trade, and the Canucks are exploring the market but won’t be pressured into a poor return from one of the few teams Miller is currently fine to be traded to.
The downside is this isn’t a great situation for the current play of the team. But with that said, I’m not sure if we could reasonably expect a Miller trade to turn around this season anyway. Seems unlikely to make a big difference to me. And if that’s the case, take your time, and pull the trigger before / at the draft if need be.
Weren’t we close to saying yes? Miller was told he wasn’t playing that night, meaning they were probably OK with Cythil and Lindgren.

If I were GM, I'd trade Miller at full contract to New Jersey for Mercer, and spare parts.
Come summer time, screw them over and offersheet Luke Hughes where they can't match. 5 years at 9.15 M AAV, land a legitimate stud PMD for years to come only giving up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick and eventually steal Jack too

Yeah so they were OK with the return and it almost happened. Scary. Aqua needs to give Biz special veto powers before a disaster happens.

I haven't lost any faith in Allvins management team at all yet, these next five and a half months have huge implications though.

Let's not pretend Drury is some genius here lol. Screwing around is just bad business. He's an isolated GM.
7. Team to watch: Carolina. They are active, ready to pounce.
8. The Hurricanes and Rangers are two of the teams with permission to talk to J.T. Miller. Believe the New York offer was Filip Chytil, a first-rounder and a prospect. I get very mixed messages on New Jersey. The Rangers have the cap room to do it, but the Devils would need to perform roster surgery to pull it off. Yes, they struggled until pounding Boston on Wednesday, but that’s a good team. I’m not convinced about Dallas, either. I always assume I’m missing something, though.
9. Elias Pettersson communicated to the Canucks he wishes to stay. We will see how all of this unfolds.
10. A few days after frustrated comments to a Slovakian newspaper, things have cooled down around Simon Nemec. The Devils communicated to anyone who asked they have zero interest in the dealing the 2022 second-overall selection. If anything, the Olympic qualifier injury last August hurt his chances of making New Jersey. Things will reset next fall. Let’s see what unfolds then.

Like, What are we doing here?
If reports are true the deal was basically almost done, then a 1st and chytil is basically good enough for a JT Miller trade and that's I am sorry, Dreadful.
Just keep the guy, pressure him in the offseason to add more teams, and look for better opportunities.
Trading him now for pennies on a dollar makes no sense, Sorry, Zero
At some point people here have to realize Miller is not a particularly tradeable asset. He will be 32 soon, has too large of a cap hit for contenders to fit easily, has an NMC, and is a known malcontent. He doesn't have much trade value.
