It'll happen tomorrow for sure.

It'll happen tomorrow for sure.

Certainly trending that way.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Everyone is in the mix!

Expectations: Top 4 dman, blue chip prospect + pick
Reality: cap dump and a b level prospect

NJ, NYR, DAL have okay prospects. Unless they are giving Van their top prized prospect. I am suspecting a bundle of maybe's.

ill believe when it see it. Every miller trade always falls through

 

[SnapIt]

I wonder which team was the first to throw out a serious trade proposal that got others interested. NJD?

 

[Jerry the great]

Banana in the tail pipe

It's really irritating that this all should have been done ahead of the 2023 draft and was clearly foreseeable at that time.

We should have had 3 or 4 top ~20 picks in the 2023 draft and we'd probably be in as good or better of a position with the active roster.

Or we could have traded EP40 for Neccas, Kotkaniemi and Morrow. Easy to play this game with the clarity of 20/20 hindsight.

 

[Quinning]

A bidding war for a disgruntled J.T. Miller is about the best case scenario.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I’d be more than fine with a Miller trade to Dallas or NJ.

They both have lots of options that could work.

Can't wait to see the bidding wars for Derek Forbort and Vinny Desharsuck.

 

[VanCanucks53]

I just know the return is going to suck. I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around this whole thing but I’m still in shock that it has come to this and that he’s likely to be traded in the upcoming days.

How gruntled are they?

Sucks. Like why did it have to come to this. He’s a fan favorite and a hell of a player.

 

[Hodgy]

Certainly trending that way.

I bet nothing happens. I’m a wet blanket.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

As much as he’s been a giant pouting baby at times, I will miss Miller.

 

[Quinning]

This is squarely on management. This has been an open secret for three coaches now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

New York doesn’t really excite me as a trade partner like New Jersey does.

Also, wonder who the Canucks A) thought was tampering with their players, and B) which players they thought were being tampered with.

 

[DimitriL07]

Rangers v Devils bidding war would be ideal

Probably Drury because he seems like an absolute donkey.

 

[Bobby9]

He’s mean to our 11.6M dollar diva.

Wondering if all the activity around Miller finally convinced Drury to cave on Schneider…i like him, but not enough to be a centerpiece for Miller though.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

I know JT is very good friends with trocheck on the rangers so if he goes I think it will be NY

 

[VanillaCoke]

Just excited to see some action, what the return is, and get some new blood in the mix.

The wheeler effect is maybe being understated.

 

[Isi]

Heres the last 6 seasons. Miller is a top 10 player in this league. We aren't going to get that value back in a trade. I really don't wanna trade him. We lose that trade 100% of the time.

You're making a trade for tomorrow, not yesterday. It's a big risk trading JT, but it's also a big risk keeping JT. That's the reality of the situation. We're at a cross-roads either way. Look at Zibanejad, same age, same contract as JT, basically. And like JT, he's been a massive point scorer over the last few seasons. He's only 30 odd behind JT's tally. And I don't think anyone wants to touch Zibanejad's contract because it's clear his career decline has started.

We know what JT is and isn't. We know that when the offensive decline starts, having JT around is probably not going to be good. Do you risk trading him now and trying to get pieces that will hopefully help you into the future, or risk keeping JT around and hope the decline doesn't happen in the next ~two seasons, knowing that if the decline does start, there's basically no chance of getting pieces back and we're probably just as screwed as we would be if we trade JT now and don't nail the return?
