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

I see Petey just getting worse and worse, but Miller is a few years older. I would trade Miller.
OR, Hughes is probably going to NJ as a UFA, trade Petey for a good dman and be prepared for it. Dman more important.

Don't say that, dude. It might come true.
You don't want division rivals to suck, it makes it much less fun for everyone.

Not true.
Canucks had a package of Necas, Kotkaniemi, Morrow and a 1st round pick from the Hurricanes offered for Pettersson before he was even locked up long term.
Had the Canucks traded Pettersson even 1 for 1 with Necas, they would've made out like bandits.

Of course not, but the package I quoted is a package that every single Hurricanes fan was more than happy to give up. It's actually the most conservative package discussed, as others had Nikishin or Jarvis instead of Morrow.
It's extremely likely that the package I named was available and it was the Canucks that turned it down, finding it to be insufficient.

I don't know what you're trying to say.
Are you trying to say that you find it unbelievable that the package listed was available for Pettersson? As in you think Pettersson's value is less than that?
Miller is by far more valuable to the team. He has top 10 scoring finishes on both a low and high scoring team, with huge discrepancies in linemate quality. EP is much more dependent on others, and has been wildly inconsistent.
Canucks best seasons, are with JT as the teams best forward. If it's Boeser or EP leading the way, they are in lotto contention. They won their division with EP being a non factor for most of the season.
EP likely gets the better return, due to age, and not having an NMC in place, plus gives more options cap wise.

Some say…
I’d be tempted to go to both, and ask them “are you prepared to put your differences aside for the good of the team?”, and if either (or both) say no, just trade them. If you’re not prepared to act like a professional, you can leave
Not necessarily. With Buffalo needing to do something big, you might be able to flip EP for a package like Cozens and Power, which makes you younger, and potentially better

Went with Miller, but this is probably the best approach. Right now, they're getting paid 8 million and 11.6 million respectively to both act like an overgrown man child.

You’re out to lunch.
There was an article few years ago about how HFBoards Trade and Proposals board facilitated 47% of that years trade deadline trades.

Miller is their best regular season and playoff forward every year. 11.6m Pettersson had like 6 points last run

If I was GM, I would chat with all players individually about this issue and see what they think. Without that knowledge I'd go:
Miller is consistent, has the better contract, but his NMC is already in effect. If Pettersson is dealt, does he just beef with someone else a year from now? His NMC means very limited value. (See: Kesler)
Pettersson is inconsistent, has very low lows, very high highs. Has a BAD contract, but NMC not yet active. Is not a guy who you'd call a leader. No NMC yet, means most value you can get with the extension that is starting.
It's a terrible spot to be for Canucks. But I'd say they'll likely have more success with Miller, who is cheaper as well and right now wouldn't return as much. With that said, I'd move Pettersson.
