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

the Pieces going to New York added to Miller aren't special.

Ya that isn't great.

Now there is the risk that Miller could fall off a cliff any second, but Vancouver is also contending now. Huge hit down the middle and they don't even get a lot of futures to try and fix it.

 

[thadd]

It looks like Vancouver is getting less than half of the value I expected them to.

You guys really really need the Vancouver Sun to have the entire first page of the newspaper. Say fire the GM every single day as long as this GM still has a job.

Like there's still a chance that you can retool and be a playoff team, but you got to get rid of this lame duck GM before he goes full. Kevin lowe mode and makes so that you're going to be starting from scratch

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

That stinks for Vancouver.

 

[TheSuperElite]

great day to be an Oilers fan

 

[Sky04]

Miller had the leverage unfortunately.
So Vancouver could only deal him to where he wanted to go.

That's the thing they didn't HAVE to deal him.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Will always wonder wtf happen with these 2. If it just Miller being an hardass then maybe EP needs to grow a set and should of been the one traded

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

There was never a scenario where the Canucks were winning this trade

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

The Canucks got f***ing fleeced. This is an all time fleecing

It's never fair to judge trades like this when they come with NMCs.

Add in NMC and public beef, and having to make the deal mid-season.

This is actually a pretty good return given the circumstances, especially if the pick is top 10 protected or better. Because there is a good chance the Rangers end up in that 11th-15th type area. So depending on how deep the draft is this year and if the right guy falls to them, the Canucks could actually walk away with a top 10 talent prospect for Miller, which would be miraculous.

 

[AfroThunder396]

As expected, no market for Miller means VAN has to STFU take what they can get. No one wants to pay for a 32 year old cancer that has 5 years remaining except for, well, you know.

 

[canuckslover10]

Please don't do that

Lol Why is he not good.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Exactly what I expected. Super underwhelming return for the Canucks

 

[Raistlin]

LOL, this is a fleece indeed. Chytil is a retirement threat.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Nothing wrong with his contract. He's a 90+ point center and the cap is exploding the next few years.

might be a locker room cancer

 

[Absurdity]

So the Canucks got a 3rd line center for a guy who's averaged 95 points a season for the last 3 years lol

Miller has a full NMC and holds all the cards where he wants to go. If he only wanted to go to the NYR, the Canucks are not going to get full value. It's similar to how the Bruins got Taylor Hall for peanuts.

 

[Coffee]

Good trade for Van

 

[Brock Anton]

How are people shocked at this with how public the whole thing between JT/EP was?

Of course the return wasn’t gonna be great.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Ouch Vancouver got shafted hard.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

the Pieces going to New York added to Miller aren't special.

Well I wouldn't go as far to say they're NOT special.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Chytil, Mancini and a 1st isn't the worst return given the circumstances

 

[SnS]

Was about expected with all the BS surrounding it.

 

[rynryn]

I think this will do wonders for VANs season. Having that drama in the lockerroom is a constant burr--Wild suffered through years of Suter drama and you could almost taste the relief once the buyouts happened. At least VAN is in a position to get some assets in addition to the mental relief.

 

[BKarchitect]

Well I got the RHD going back wrong...Mancini instead of Schneider. Interesting.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Brannstrom had to be the key to all this. Based on the way he was described to me in threads to months ago, I am guessing that once the Canucks put him on the table, Chris Drury drove Victor Mancini to the airport.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This is why NMC shouldn't be a thing.
Lazy ass millionaires
