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

[5cotland]

Chytil will be a star for Vancouver. People don’t realize how good he is. Chytil and Miller have the same points per 60 5v5 over the past three years. You guys got a player.

If you wrap him in bubble wrap because 1 bad hit and he will be retiring.im gonna miss him. So much talent but a high risk with his concussion history

 

[Joe Sakic]

Sheesh!! That is undoubtedly a win for NYR.

Of course some leniency because Vancouver's hands were a bit tied. Very unfortunate those 2 guys couldn’t get along, smh.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Mancini is a bigger more physical RDman and probably a 6th-7th one at that...while Brannstrom is a puck rushing D-man and Dorrington a promising College D-man

 

[Peter Griffin]

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

What did you expect? A lottery pick? Even Drury isn’t that silly.

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?

Bear in mind that the Rangers have had a lot of top-six forwards rotating through the lineup during their recent contention window.
The Rangers always seem to have a lot of top-6 players. Chytil has averaged 14:20 this year and only 3 of his points have come on the powerplay.
I think you have to figure Chytil is a third line centre on a contending team, and a second-liner centre on a team with holes.
Between Joshua, Chytil, Suter, Blueger, the Canucks have 4 x third line centres, so I guess the hope is that one of those guys overperforms.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

why would they want to trade Pettersson?

Sometimes when two children get into a fight, if you didn't see who started it you punish both of them or neither at all.

 

[BWJM]

Canucks should have said ZERO protection or no if they were going to do this ass cheeks trade.

They didn’t have to trade him ffs.

 

[rynryn]

The two previous years he hit 82 and 99pts.

He might not touch his last season point totals ever again, but there's at least a very decent chance he gets back to ppg+.

I'd say there's a better chance that he paces for 100pts the rest of the year than he continues to pace for 50.

do you think there was a decent chance he'd do that in VAN this year? If not I'd say his potential performance increase with the rangers is irrelevant where it regards the value VAN gets from doing this. It would look better for NYR if he did that but IMO the primary reason for getting rid of him by VAN is already accomplished so they've already "won". NYR could technically "lose" if Miller proves problematic for them too (even if they'll most likely "win" as well).

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

This.......as a Nucks fan I'm pleasantly surprised here...........we cleared up almost 3.6 mill of cap, and the first and the prospect we got could theoretically be used for a decent asset........and losing Miller at this point is addition by subtraction...........time will tell but the people calling Van out for getting P Diddied in the back I think gonna be looking back on how wrong they got things............

I wish Miller luck he was a warrior for us but I'm excited to see how this turns out. From what I can recall Chytil has been a playoff player as well (correct me if I'm wrong here). If he can stay healthy this trade improves dramatically as well most likely........

Yah now were stuck with an 11.6 million dollar soft 60 point player who doesn't show up when it matters....so much better off.

 

[CanMerc]

Speaking as an outsider…this seems an underwhelming return for the Canucks

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

What did you expect? A lottery pick? Even Drury isn’t that silly.

...if they DO miss this year and fall to 13, it's unprotected next year...

 

[5 14 6 1]

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

Won't hurt as bad with a 120m salary cap

 

[Gregor Samsa]

The last 2 days shows actual player valuation is fairly different than hfboards

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I wonder if there's a clause in there that the Rangers can give them the '25 pick if they want to.

If it's 13th, better off to send that than to hope things are better next year ?

 

[pth2]

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.

Protected picks are a double edged sword, for sure.

 

[unicornpig]

vancouver fans in shambles. he's top 10 scorer beast in the playoffs blah blah blah.

 

[Peter Griffin]

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

I expect him to be traded next. Doesn’t sound like the Canucks are even interested in offering him a contract.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Canucks got absolutely fleeced in this deal.

Allvin and Rutherford got outmaneuvered by Chris Drury of all people.

 

[lakeshirts37]

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

2-3 great years, then he’ll blow up the room

 

[dredeye]

Isn't this draft supposed to be really weak after about the 13-15 pick. Makes some sense but it may make less once we know if/what the supplemental comp is

 

[EP to EP back to EP]

Next years draft is expected to be a good one from what I've read. Could be a blessing if Rangers suck this year and next and we get a top 10 pick in 2026.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

EP40 returning to his former self counts as a player coming back in the deal

HAHAHAHAHA until he goes invisible again, wonder who gets the blame then.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Sheesh!! That is undoubtedly a win for NYR.

Of course some leniency because Vancouver's hands were a bit tied. Very unfortunate those 2 guys couldn’t get along, smh.

Well I think when one guy makes 8.5 Million and the other 11.0 M per it rubs some guys the wrong...besides the difference in personalities...Miller is a Winner for sure but how many years does he have 2-3-4 good ones maybe more maybe less

 

[lakeshirts37]

Canucks got absolutely fleeced in this deal.

Allvin and Rutherford got outmaneuvered by Chris Drury of all people.

Drury is boom or bust with trades. This time around Vancouver got boomed
