Rumor: JTM Trade Thread: Why did JT Miller bring a suitcase to practice?

[Coldnwindy]

Wish the Caps were in on Miller. He would complete the top 6 along the wing with Strome and Ovi. The only untouchables among Caps side for <25 yo players and prospects would probably be Sandin/Protas/Leonard. Mangiapane would have to go back for cap reasons. Something along the lines of Mangiapane + McMichael + ???

I'm going on record saying that if the Canucks trade JT Miller during the season it will be looked back on as a terrible trade for them and everyone will call their management impatient and shortsighted.

The time to trade Miller is in the offseason when more teams can make cap space for him and the Canucks can weigh their options.

The absolutely terrible offers being floated out there from the Rangers, including the sentiment that they're looking for "the lowest offer the Canucks would accept" has all the makings of a trade where people look back and say "that's where Allvin and Rutherford lost their jobs" ... even if they do last another year or so after the trade.

It didn't sound good but isn't that every trade?

If I'm nucks just do a 1 for 1 with rags for alex for miller. If rags say no move on.

...the biggest issue, imo, with waiting is that Miller's totals continue to slide this year or he gets injured...GMs aren't all maroons and know that the longer JT depreciates in value this season, the less it'll cost to scoop him up in the offseason...so it's a slippery slope waiting when it comes to players at his age...

Washington Vancouver

PLD for Miller

...that makes the supposed Carolina offer of KK + Roslovic + look better...

Trash deal.

Agreed

I, for one, am shocked that a player who is having a locker room issue that is now widely publicized, and has complete control over where he is traded to, while also being on the wrong side of 30 and locked into a contract till he is 37, does not actually command the market value that some initially thought.

If it is NYR, they going to give something like:

Filip Chytil C ($4.4M Cap hit), 2 more years left after this one on his deal
Ryan Lindgren LD ($4.5M Cap hit), UFA at the end of the year
2026 1st Rounder (protection TBD)
B-level prospect from Hartford (Berard, Roobroeck, or something similar)

This is most of the reported pieces in the deal. I'm surprised it was leaked like that. Chityl responded with a good game. Lindgren getting traded in this deal as a pending UFA, with the Rangers going in the right direction since Trouba/Kakko trade caught me off guard. Is Lindgren the player the Canucks are looking for, as a panic move to try to establish a top 4 defense? Seems like the Canucks should be pushing for Dylan Garand, along with Adam Sykora. But for defense is Zac Jones a better return than Lindgren given the term?

In the meantime bring in as many Petterssons as possible to create confusion if you are the Canucks. And avoid another Barry Pederson trade.

Any interest from the devils should die with that markstrom injury, I hope

Flames say so too. We got the Devils pick.

Jesus Christ do something already ,


Also is it true that EP40 gets bullied by JT Miller? Like why don't they just scrap and settle things themselves?
