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

[The Marquis]

Turns out all he was doing was bringing his collection of Pokémon cards to trade with his buds.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Well he's not going for a mere .4 ppg soft as putty centre with mediocre defensive numbers and crap on the dot with a middling pick.

He's also most certainly bringing back two blue chips plus a top pick.

You know as well as the rest of us what the end result will be, but unless management in Vancouver or wherever Miller goes is absolutely gd inept he's gonna go for a solid return but not what people want or expect at all and no matter what happens,

People will be upset and walking back a lot of absolutes that they've made the last month or so

Do you think more or less than the rumor of Chytil, Lindgren, Sykora and a 1st?

Do you think more or less than the rumor of Chytil, Lindgren, Sykora and a 1st?

I don't think anything because I know what stupidity GMs get involved with.

All I know is that the people who are over valuing what Miller will return are being quickly shouted down by the people who assume he's going just to do some other GM a favour with an insanely weak return, and that both are going to be disappointed when it happens

 

[CraigBillington]

People are delusional for what they think Miller is going to net in a trade.

Both the undervalued and overvalued

So, you're saying he's valued

 

[Warh1ppy]

So, you're saying he's valued

A top ten ish scoring centre that plays the ok is top tier in the face off dot and plays a hard heavy game of hockey for $8 million

If say there's a chance he has value

 

[Bounces R Way]

Is he even playing tonight?

 

[The don godfather]

Jt miller for geekie carlo and a 1st?

 

[trellaine201]

Man JT looked invisible for the most part tonight. Mind you most of the Canucks did too. I feel bad for the fans. Canucks looked so good last year. Not so this year.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Team should forget this Miller business, and let it be known that Pettersson is available to the highest bidder.

 

[Ciao]

I would think there's a lot more interest in Pettersen than in Miller.

If we're talking about the right Elias Petteresen, that is. The Canucks could trade one and keep one.

 

[Sharksfan66]

I don't get why a move hasn't happened yet. Has Vancouver given up on the playoffs this year? What am I missing?

 

[Wry n Ginger]

ALERT!!

I was just informed that the reasons for the "scrums" after the whistle in the last several games has been misconstrued!

The real truth is that Canucks mgmt have allowed individual Canuck players to negotiate for Miller's services with th other yeam

 

[Captain Controversy]

Canucks pulling a 2017-2018 Oilers.

Trade Petey.

Offers are awful, Miller only wants to go to Two teams.

 

[Alluckks]

Canucks front office likely torn between trade Miller and bring in players to help right now to right the ship because they see their team as a contender, or trade Miller for futures and possibly concede the season

 

[Alluckks]

At some point the market is what people are willing to pay for it. You can sit and pout and yell to the high heavens that what you are selling is worth more - okay then, sell it for that? JT Miller is a depreciating asset in more ways than one right now.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Cachskcks were supposed to be good too

 

[Sharksfan66]

Offers are awful, Miller only wants to go to Two teams.

Why not dump him to one of those teams for the best of the bad offers out there? Is it an oversimplification to say once he's gone the team will come back to life? That's been my assumption as an outsider looking in anyway...

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Can someone ELI5 the whole JT miller situation?

Love that Paul Bissonette has somehow managed to insert himself into the drama.

Does he have any connection to the Canucks? Or the Vancouver area?

 

[egelband]

That’s fine. My point is Miller in his prime, when the Rangers’ core was also in their prime, was a potential missed opportunity. And yet Drury is still trying to chase after a worse, more expensive JT.

The mistake was trading him in the first place. As a f***ing throw-in.
