Confirmed Trade: [NYR/VAN] JT Miller, Erik Brannstrom, Jackson Dorrington for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, 2025 1st round pick (top 13 protected)

[Taswell]

Doesn’t seem like a lot was given up. Wasn’t there better options on the table?

Didn’t Miller have a choice in his destination? I’d assume that played a large factor if I’m remembering correctly.

 

[Raistlin]

at least the canucks traded the right guy.

Horvat -> Beauvillier, Raty, 17th pick
Miller -> Chytil, Mancini, 15th pick???

which deal is better?

 

[Mr Kot]

So basically rangers make playoffs or its protected. Awful for canucks

I like how quickly it flipped from "Miller is a 100 point player that will get a massive return" to "his contract will be an anchor" literally as soon as Miller got traded.

It's a bad return for the Canucks. The situation basically guaranteed the return would be bad, but it's still a bad return.

Potentially, yes.

The Rangers have had Miller before, but there's obviously external factors at hand.

People assuming it's bad because of the low return, but no one is asking why a team wouldn't pay more than that if you're simply adding a player of his supposed level ?

People will say whatever serves their interests in the moment. It's extremely odd that people post on the trade boards like what they post will actually affect the value of the player in a real world trade, but people overemphasize the positives and minimize the negatives when trying to sell an asset on here, and vice versa when they're trying to buy one.

Cap space for the Canucks

It’s not a bad return at all, it’s a pretty fair value return.

#2/3C, a RD with huge potential and a 1st

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Has anyone checked in on Bernmeister? Two thirds of the kid line gone and they now have a 32 year old Miller til he's 37?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

They're trading Pettersson during the summer. That's what makes the most sense.

His NMC doesn't kick in until July 1st, and the market for him will be much stronger when teams have cap flexibility. Trading him mid-season, they were going to take a massive haircut.

The difference with JT Miller is that the offers weren't going to improve in the summer because there is no way to create a market for him with his NMC already active. So it made sense to resolve it by moving him now, and then return to the table with Pettersson trades at the draft and before July 1st.

if it gets protected the canucks get the rangers first round pick the following season with no protection

Honestly, kind of bummed we lost Chytil for Miller. I love watching Chytil play. He’s a bull when healthy. Miller is too old.

Miller was far and away Vancouvers best player in our series last year. He is not too old. You'll get 2-3 good years from him

I'm glad the Canucks moved Miller over Pettersson. Not only is Miller on the wrong side of 30, he has the habit of trying risky passes that during his past three years had about a 70% success rate which led to a good scoring chance and sometimes a goal. This year, that's dropped to about 40% and has turned the puck over more often than not.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

What can you tell us about Mancini?

Young two-way defenseman who still has quite a bit of work to do before becoming a regular but has good skating, decent hands and solid IQ. He projects to be a good mid to bottom pairing defenseman in my mind.

 

[EpochLink]

Canucks not retaining any of Miller’s salary is a plus for Vancouver, all of it’s going to New York.

I can imagine that locker room is breathing a sigh of relief, Miller can bully and yell at someone in the Rangers locker room.

This had to happen, his constant bullshit year in and year out about his attitude, low trade value and him half assing it.

Sick of his shit, good in the playoffs last year but comes into this year all putrid ass.

Miller is on the wrong side of 30 while Pettersson is still in his mid 20’s.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Just looking at the stats, Chytil doesn't even look like a top six player... Was Mika Z for JT really that bad of a deal if that was indeed on the table?

 

[Icebreakers]

Not really, then it becomes unprotected for next year in a much deeper draft. Id rather take that.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Wonder if this affects their ability to sign Boeser. My understanding is they were good friends and linemates

 

[Omni Owl]

Nice to see another GM besides Blake make another bad trade, though its gonna be hard to top the absolute fleecing that occured in the Dubois deal...

 

[Peltz]

I doubt he puts this team over the edge, but we’ll see.

True, but he's signed to 2030. That's where you'd pay the price to get out of his contract.

 

[BrickNHL]

What does the protection mean? What does the pick turn into when the rangers miss the playoffs?

People said this about the EK trade and it turned into Tim Stutzle, let's see how the 25-26 Rangers are before we think the 2026 unprotected first is awful.
