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

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

His first playoffs was during a pandemic with no fans, even NHLers were saying it isn't the same.

So then throw out the entire Canucks core out by that logic since they made a legit run before falling to Vegas in 7. There's also athletes from the NBA/NHL who said that format was way tougher to keep focused.

I bet Miller rubbed more than just Petterson the wrong way. Addition by subtraction.

Any info on Jackson Dorrington?

​

I’m a nucks fan and I’ve never heard of him so. . .

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

Fair enough but i also heard rumours miller was affecting more than petey in the locker room.

Whatever it is I truly don’t care. I’m just saying I can live the return if something like this happened to my team. Is it embarrassing? Yes but it needed to be done. Rip the band aid off and move forward.

Rip the band aid off by trading the guy who doesn't show up, not the guy who just wants to win.

hahaha you think they are solved by removing the guy who wanted to win and keeping the soft player who doesn't show up when it matters, hahahaha

Let's be real here, none of know what the issue was, only that the lockeroom was divided over it.

Not just Pettersson, I’m sure there are guys on that locker room who were sick of his shit.

Won’t be surprised if one of them is Hughes, who’s been on a Norris playing level all year.

I think we’ll get an idea of that tonight, we’ll see what kind of team shows up in Dallas

Ok. Do that then

They still might.

Who knows?

 

[JKG33]

Wait until he takes his first big hit.

Is EP-Chytil the softest 1-2 down the middle?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This fits the Drury Standard

 

[holy]

I didn't even know about this in-house beef but I am now entertained.

 

[Paper]

Why top 13 protected? By point-percentage the Rangers are currently tied for 12th with Montreal. Is it really that important to them to leapfrog the Islanders or something?

Feel like top 10 protected would have been better for the Rangers, giving them lottery protection and in case the team just doesn't gel and continues a bad season. But, even if unlikely, them finishing with the 12th/13th pick and instead, however slim, them giving up a chance at McKenna and/or winning the lottery next year is worse then just giving up the pick this year.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

If Pettersson starts playing better just because Miller is gone, then the Canucks got a big problem on their hands.

As somebody who has had employees who are good but can't work with others, should have gotten rid of JT a year ago.

I had the feeling too, but I hadn't been following the story religiously like I did when my team had rumors of lockerroom issues.

Yah, hence why so many said that team was an anomaly, you know because if covid hadn't happened they wouldn't even have made the playoffs. They only took Vegas to seven because Demko stood on his head. Nobody is using that season as a legitimate barometer of success.

One makes $8m and brings it every playoff. The other makes $11m and can't play well because the other is too mean.

When the going gets tough, Miller brings it while EP GTFO's

12 goals in 91 games and only 2 out of 8 PO runs that were impressive — not exactly “brings it every playoff”

 

[JKG33]

He's been a whole different player since he landed in Van

 

[DingDongCharlie]

If we can flip that first for Marcus Petterson then it's worth it if not we got fisted.

You could definitely pull MP outta Pittsburgh for a 1st. He’s a rental though so I don’t see how value wise that makes anything better. Not without a long term extension

 

[Bgav]

That does y'all no good. You get a mid pick in a meh draft this year and nothing next year beyond a vague suggestion of schadenfreude. If NYR resumes their prior freefall, you get a probably much better pick in a much better draft.

Yeah, brain fart - edited that post

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Drury really has no idea what he's doing. He's a desperate man trying to cling to a job he's clearly not qualified for.

 

[aylib]

That might be, I guess he brings it every time he is in the playoffs with VAN

 

[57special]

Would've thought that VAN could get Emery as part of the deal...guess not. Certainly received nothing like the haul that VAN board members expected. Chytil is young, yeah, but I don't know that i would want to re-up him for a lot of money. Maybe he will flourish away from NY?

 

[lionsDen]

. … much better…

 

[Community]

...No i would still consider it a "win" for them. NYR may receive more value if Miller outperforms his current production but I'd still consider accomplishing their objective (excising the lockerroom problems) a win--barring of course info that they turned down a better offer from somewhere else. If they're better, they "won", essential. IMO of course.

Do you think that they wouldve been a better team today if they had figured a way to co-exist and solve their locker room issues? That's the best team.

They made the trade they had to, but there's no way that management was excited about making this deal. Hence, they had to lose the trade for the greater good. Which still means they lost the trade.

We won't agree on the semantics I guess, so I'll leave it at that.

25 yr old who has never hit 45 points is excellent? They got Trocheck because he couldn’t be the 2C, he’s a very good 3C.. who got traded for a 100 point 1C

To be fair to Fil, he was slotted at the 2nd line center and was producing until he was derailed by his season-ending concussion. He never had the chance to get his job back because Trochek slide into his spot and has been there ever since.
