Rumor: JT Miller to the Rangers? (Part 2)

[McDoused]

As an Oilers fan I hope they trade Miller.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Rangers should just recognize the poor situation this season sees them in and not do anything drastic to try and save it.
Come up with an offseason plan instead.

We're all screaming this from the rooftops, but it seems like the sounds of taxi cab horns honking at each other all day have drowned out and Drury can't hear us.

The only swap that I could see making a lot of sense for both parties would be Zibanejad for Miller with the Rangers adding a little. I just don't see the Canucks wanting to do that.

Let's be realistic, they're not getting Lafreniere and we don't have any defensemen to give them that they would want other than Schneider.

I guess Zibanejad+Schneider for Miller?

And as a NYR fan I don't think I do that either. Not from a value standpoint as I think it's even, just based on Schneider's age and ceiling fitting nicely into a compete window in the next few years if we can retool on the fly.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Say what you will about potential locker room issues, people in this thread are talking like Drury is crazy to go after Miller. The guy has been an elite player for the last half decade. The only real concern is his age but you've got to think the Rangers are in win now mode, despite the bad year.

Chances of being in win now mode ended when the team cratered starting in November. Add Shesterkin going on IR and that's all she wrote on this season.

Trading Miller to keep the overpaid crybaby would be a franchise altering mistake.

Hopefully the Kings are in on Miller

Zibanejad
K'Andre Miller

For
Miller
Hoglander

 

[AirGut]

I want to see K'andre Miller involved in a trade for JT Miller just for the lulz

 

[FSL KINGS]

Doubt Van will be trading significant pieces in division.

As others have said, we aren’t going to be paying like 450 million on the cap for three centers that are born in 1993 (now into their 30’s), so most likely any Miller deal would have to include Zibanejad.

It’s possible Trocheck instead, but I think he’s close to the bottom of list of players Drury would trade.

Then there's no deal to be made (unless a third team is involved).

 

[Mandar]

I hope not. He's one of the few guys built for a playoff war on the roster. I think they can work it out over time. Please not Zib

I would suggest you take a look at his historical playoff stats

 

[Djp]

JT Miller does not have negative Value, Mika has Negative Value
JT Miller is a #1 Center and has 24 points in 26 games in a drama filled season.
He is also the second best player on this team, has been a force for us in the past 3 years and the Canucks do not have to trade him.

Sign me up
5 more years after this on his contract........... amazing

JT says "hold my beer"
Miller is very likely to fall off a cliff soon too

 

[Cogburn]

Jesus, some of the offers here are startlingly bad.

 

[Canucks LB]

Zibanejad
K'Andre Miller
1st

For
Miller
Hoglander

If you retained a significant part mika contract, I would probably pull the trigger on this

 

[sxvnert]

Trading Pettersson is the right play here.

 

[ryan callahan]

If you retained a significant part mika contract, I would probably pull the trigger on this

Deal would be fair with Zib at 5.5-6 mil imo.

 

[McDoused]

If you retained a significant part mika contract, I would probably pull the trigger on this

Miller for Miller. 1 for 1.

 

[Breakers]

That’s not the way this works bud

He may do so
But he hasn’t yet

 

[Cogburn]

Miller for Miller. 1 for 1.

I mean, I know this is a joke, but K Miller is more in the range of Hoglander, not JT.

Doesn't Zibby have a full NMC? Doubt he waives to go to Canada. Age 31 to age 37 years left. Rangers not escaping that contract that easily.

 

[Grantham]

I would suggest you take a look at his historical playoff stats

How about recent history? He was our best forward in last year's playoffs. Before that he hasn't had much chance since he leveled up

 

[PuckG]

As an Oilers fan I hope they trade Miller.

A match-up with them feels substantially easier in the absence of JT Miller as opposed to EP who is absent regardless.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Is Drury the worst GM in the league?

 

[GbgRanger]

But the fit seems weird to me. If Miller gets annoyed at EP for being "soft", wait until he has to be stapled to Panarin and Zibanejad full time.

Thats why Mika has got to go the other way.

Knowing the rangers they will trade Cuylle, Schneider and a 1st for J.T. Miller though

 

[NVious]

Stuart Skinner and Jeff failed.

The Petterson's also failed together.

Now NY wants to pair JT and his brother K'Andre together?

Brothers together is the old meta, it just doesn't work in the modern NHL.

 

[krutovsdonut]

let's go big or go home.

jt miller
boeser
desharnais
hoglander

for

kreider
lafreniere
schneider
cuylle

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Don't seem like great trade partners to me. I also don't see how keeping EP is going to go over well in that Canucks locker room. Very tough situation.
