Confirmed with Link: JT Miller traded to NYR for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and 1st round pick (top 13 protected)

[Clark Kellogg]

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.

We cornering the market on d-men under 6’?

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

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

He's thinking his job is on the line. Unfortunately GMs don't really care about the future they won't be around for.

The only thing Chytil is on the cusp of is being sidelined long term yet again. This is a no brainer.

Great play on words

Brannstrom isn't young. He's already 25 so at max has 5 years before he's too old for the league...

Thought this a minute ago exactly

 

[Jack Hanson]

Brann this year has 3 goals and 5 assists. Not too shabby. And we need depth in defense.

Watch Laffy end up with the worst career of the 3. Or maybe they end up trading Laffy and just complete the hat trick for complete developmental disaster of an organization. Trade Laffy for Pettersson lol

 

[Saitama]

Sucks about Chytil, but like everyone says, tomorrow could be his last game ever (seriously hope not, hope he has a long career yet!). So I'm pretty good with this trade. I think Miller will do well for at least a few years here.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

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.

Friends….. ?! Hah. Haaaaaaahhhhhh

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Sucks to see Chytil go, he was one of my favorite players.

Lol Doesn't Laviolette like bigger defenceman? What is drury up to?

 

[offdacrossbar]

My feelings on the trade

We still have 93 and 20 hugging it out and that's unacceptable.

Plus miller and Lindgren remain. Although we have a good miller now so that's something I guess.

Not seeing this as anything more than chasing rainbows. Miller is an oldish 31 in my book. However, if I were Canuck fan, I would be sick. The return is very um... below average.

End of the day, we're even older than before.

 

[Machinehead]

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.

Yeah, like, I could get behind this in a vacuum as an overall makeover of the team, if they decided to do that.

It doesn't feel like that. Until they prove to me otherwise, this is the Rangers kicking the can again because they can't help themselves.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

How does Zac Jones feel about not 1 but 2 dmen coming back in this trade? Oof.

 

[RangerLifer]

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

SOLD!!

 

[LOFIN]

I could see JT Miller being a captain. No f***ing leadership is screwing this team more than anything. We need a captain badly and he's just the guy.

What in the world would make you think JT is captain material?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Loved Fil but he’s a ticking time bomb unfortunately. Borgen signing made Mancini expendable and say good bye Jones with the Brannstrom addition. Now move Mika to 3C minutes as a specialist

 

[will1066]

I hate the fact that they had to purchase him back after he developed somewhere else.

 

[gabevh3]

How does Zac Jones feel about not 1 but 2 dmen coming back in this trade? Oof.

I guess getting traded soon which is stupid.

 

[mike14]

How does Zac Jones feel about not 1 but 2 dmen coming back in this trade? Oof.

Wasn't he given permission to shop himself around? He knows he's done here, and I guess with the lack of interest he knows he's signing a 2-way deal somewhere next season

 

[Machinehead]

Also, we're really f***ing old, and don't really feel close to winning.

Even taking the most generous view possible, nobody would say this is a top 5 team. Top 1 wins the Stanley Cup.

My thoughts exactly..jt for captain.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Gonna try and out do that bunch of jerks in Carolina.

 

[Fitzy]

Talk about depth on defense if you like but the team is fine on depth defensemen, what we need is a mega upgrade for Lindgren, K’Andre or ideally both.

There are plenty of third pairing types here now

 

[DanielBrassard]

I wonder if people would have been OK with Zibanejad being traded this past offseason coming off a 72-point season after putting up a career high the prior season for this exact package. I know I would have. Vancouver getting out of the miller contract at the right time.
