Confirmed with Link: JT Miller traded to NYR for Chytil, Mancini, 1st round pick (protected)

I don’t think this team is anywhere near a cup, but you just don’t get star centers for that kind of value any more, especially under contract with a skyrocketing cap.

Team is still 3-4 major moves away from being a competitor, but on paper it’s a no brainer.

We knew they weren’t going to rebuild so in for a penny now I suppose. Get rid of The dead weight and get a blueliner

I also think this is step 2 of Drury rebuilding the team in the vision he wants. Removing Trouba was step 1.

Maybe JT makes life miserable for Mika and he opens up that trade clause a bit

On the one hand wish Miller were 2 years older on the other hand the trade has great value for us. We are coming off a three season stretch that it's really hard to see the team rebuilding from. I think there are three major weaknesses with this roster and two of which are relatively easy to get rid of. With the cap going up would Mika as a third line center be a net positive for this team?

Thanks for the new thread.

I hate what this deal represents. If it signals a culture change and Krieder, Lindgren, and Zibanejad are gone in separate deals, fine.

That’s what you sort of have to hope for at this point. They’re already moving, so might as well try to completely reconstruct and gut all the rot out in one fell swoop.

As long as they don’t end up moving guys like Perreault, Drury should be creative to shuffle the roster

Don't forget Brann is a young decent d as well . It's actually a good trade. I would've tried to get a late pick as well since they were looking to get rid of JT.
 
I like Fil but the problem with Fil is he needs to be wrapped up in bubble wrap and have fragile stamped on his forehead. Now what good is having a man made of glass going to do us. I wish him the best but feel Chytil plus Mancini for JT Miller plus Jackson Dorrington and Erik Brannstrom and giving up a 1st round pick is a good trade for us.

Rebuilding with 31 year olds is always a great idea.I don't understand what Drury is thinking here.He should be clearing out a few older players,not adding to them.Iget that Miller is a great player and we didn't give up much...but we aren't a Miller away from contending for the Cup

If you think this trade is bad from the Rangers perspective, consider our friends in Vancouver. They are pissed at the return and should be. It’s an awful trade for the Canucks.

It's not a bad trade at all. It's a bad trade for the Rangers because this team is rotten to the core and JTM is not fixing it. And I'm a huge Miller fan. Another 1st gone, ok fine we weren't going to develop him or draft right any way. Fil always hurt, sure. But he was our most electric puck mover this season, even with injuries. It's just another trade that is an indictment on our organization as a whole. We only seem to get the better end of trades/deals when a guy really wants to play in NY. Otherwise we suck at developing or drafting. Case in point, welcome back to NY JTM who we got nothing for in the first place.

I can see brann replacing lindgren eventually even if he's not as tough.
