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

[SeanMoneyHands]

The Avs weren't able to match this? Really? That's an awful return for a top 20 player in the NHL.

 

[Fatass]

This was always going to be the type of return when Miller had full control of where he was going to go. Whether it was NY, DET, TB, etc. The team he chose was getting a discount.

Chytil will now get more opportunities, so let’s see where that takes this trade. Mancini could be serviceable later as well, and in 3-4 years the pick will hopefully be an impact player.

The Canucks aren’t done either. Whether that’s making the decision to still trade Pettersson and do a hard retool, we’ll see, but they’re not done. Expect a Top 4 Dman at least, and soon. Probably more Chiarot type than a Byrum, but we’ll see.

How long before Van trades the newly acquired Rangers’ first? Likely used before TDL, imo.

I just want to hear what all the Drama was all about now that he left. Give me the juicy details!

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Surprised a regressing older team would trade a first for a 32 year old tbh

Are you really though? It's Chris Drury. I'm surprised he's not trying to convince Joe Thornton to come out of retirement.

Seriously. Miller on the Avs guarantees them a cup. Mittlestad + 1st is better than this. Unless Miller didn't want Colorado

Every team was able to match this. He only waived for NY though so.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Cleared up cap space for what? There's literally not a single thing yall can do with $8m that makes the team better than with Miller. That's why it's one of the stupidest trades in recent memory

So they can spend $5 Million on Chytil to play 60 games and get 30 points every season?

For the last three seasons Miller has averaged more assists than Chytil has ever scored points.

Furthermore, Miller has basically played the full season every year since 2019. Chytil has yet to play a full season, but people think because he's six years younger there's a brighter future? Buddy missed almost all of last season. I'd bet on Miller playing elite into his 30s over Chytil finishing a season or scoring more than 40 points ever again. Vancouver got GOT.

A look at Canucks GM negotiations with NYRongos

He got a first and nyr was the only team he was dealing with. Good trade for both teams. Drury did him a favor giving him a first and not a second or third.

 

[nyr2k2]

Mancini could be a solid piece in a year or two. Came out of college a very good defensive player without much offense. Now the offense is blossoming, although he has struggled a bit in his own end as a result.

I love Chytil, I do. He's big, strong, can skate, is skilled. Really fun player to watch when he's on. The downside is every time he takes a hit, you hold your breath. I wouldn't bank on him having a "full" career but if he can somehow keep healthy, he could be a very good 2C if given the opportunity. Minimum he's will be a high-end 3C (again, health concerns aside).

Who would’ve thought Kuzmenko would net a much better return than JT Miller

 

[vcanuck]

the only asset that's worth anything in this trade is that 1st.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Love JT as a player but God he's an insufferable asshole. I'm kinda glad to he done with his drama.

Kuzmenko>>>>>>Miller.

Right?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Mancini lol yea we got hosed could have at least got jones or something

mancini is a better prospect than jones and as a rhd is more valuable. IMO mancini’s high end is decent 2nd pairing offensive defenseman. He’ll prob be a tweener who flashes here and there tho. But jones looks like an almost certain tweener or future KHLer.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

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.

Ah, perfect. Well, that on the bright side, the Rangers locker room culture can't get any worse so Miller should fit right in.

The Avs weren't able to match this? Really? That's an awful return for a top 20 player in the NHL.

He would only waive to New York because of his high maintenance spouce.

The rumours and speculation I heard I won’t say on the boards, but there’s a good reason he asked for a leave of absence earlier in the year.

 

[Thomas Sowell]

Pretty brutal. But what are you supposed to do when it's between an almost 32 year old and a 26 year old who's better.

Situation obviously must have been untenable for it to come to this.

Every team was able to match this. He only waived for NY though so.

Probably because he needs time square to fit his massive ego.

the aves were probably trying to low ball and JR/Allvin prob said FU and took the L and traded him to NYR.

now colorado are stuck with pull up boi Middlestadt as their #2 C.

These athletes are grown babies.

Nah. If you change the diapers, feed them and let them sleep enough, babies at least quit whining.
And if you tickle them or tear paper apart, they will even laugh wholeheartedly…

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Maybe he will flourish away from NY?

They always do. Hell, even Brett Howden did, even though he legitimately may have been the worst "skilled" player I've seen in a Rangers sweater in the last 10 years.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

At least NYR doesn't have a sheltered 1C Swede either, oh wait....

 

[wintersej]

You would think. With the rising cap that new found 3.5m in space will never have more value.

 

[The Burdened]

it's 2025, not 2019. Frost/Farabee can be found for free every July 1st.

 

[Canucks LB]

Honestly, it’s gonna be fascinating what they do with the first round draft picks.

If they package both of them, the unprotected and the protected one, for a really good young defenceman or centre, at least it would make a little more sense.

There’s a lot of good players on Anaheim for example
