If you were the Canucks, who would you trade: Pettersson or Miller?

[SillyRabbit]

Imagine you are the GM of the Canucks. You decide you need to trade one of Pettersson or Miller.

Who do you trade and why?

---

Elias Pettersson (age 26) over the past 82 games (including playoffs):

82GP 20G 43A 63P | -2

JT Miller (age 31) over the past 82 games (including playoffs):

82GP 31G 58A 89P | +26

---

Pettersson is generally considered a strong defensive forward.

Miller over the past two seasons has also been considered a strong defensive forward and is always given the matchup against the other team's best line, tasked with shutting down players such as McDavid or MacKinnon.

----

Pettersson contract: 11.6M, (8 years remaining). He will be 33 when the contract expires.

Miller's contract: 8M, (6 years remaining). He will be 37 when the contract expires.

I've heard there's potentially a clash with those 2 centers? rumors. Keep the one that is easier to work with. Deal with the trade value after that. I'm not gonna argue about what's best for the canucks I don't think it's that deep as an outside opinion.

It’s not a rumor at this point

My condolences. It's a distraction and has to be dealt with. It's up to the front office to have a debate and chose a player.

Miller . Seems to have a hard time getting along with others. Been traded off 2 teams now. Had to take a mental break for god knows what while Petteresson played through his difficulties and still playing through them

Honestly, i think this whole thing is basically just catnip for Boeser's agent.
