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

[Luigi Lemieux]

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

Fair to say on this trade. The other one just shows that Briere is a moron.

 

[Icebreakers]

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.

It turns into 2026 unprotected first rounder next year. Id rather have that in a deeper draft.

Their core is aging even further

Their core ages next season will be

Panarin 34
Trochek 32
Miller 32
Zib 32
Kreider 34


They could all fall off a cliff.

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.

Yup. The return isn’t of any concern here. There were bigger issues at hand that are now hopefully solved.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

The protection part is terrible but overall, I think just moving on from Miller and getting Chytil and 1st is good for Nucks given situation

Mancini is still young so who knows could be good for Nucks longterm

I wonder if there is a chance that the Rangers give up the pick this year anyways.

In a hypothetical scenario where things are bad enough for the Rangers to finish with anything better than 13th overall, what direction do they go in next season? Do they really want to hand the Canucks an unprotected pick in 2026 instead of say 12th overall?

 

[Wildcarder]

What the hell even is this return...

 

[jetsforever]

Wow, Vancouver made the right choice between him and EP although the return isn't amazing

 

[chaz4hockey]

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.

FC is a quality player that has improved significantly over the years.

The big issue is his health and he could be one more concussion away from exiting the League.

 

[5cotland]

I low key love the Jackson Dorrington pick up.

Kid has progressed so well in college and will really compliment a partner who is more offensively minded.

[nucks88]

As a Canucks fan I am just happy half of the problem is gone....

 

[wintersej]

Rangers gonna make the playoffs

 

[EXTRAS]

Canucks should have waited until the deadline

 

[ToDavid]

Not hugely surprised. I’m not sure what people expected Vancouver to land with Miller. Great player when he’s on but he’s in the middle of a down year, is on a big contract if this is the level he’s going to play at, and apparently can’t get along with people.

He's got one more 5v5 point than Chytil so far this season…

 

[StickShift]

Canucks fans might hate the return now—but getting out of JT Miller and his toxic waste in the locker room was an absolute must. The facts when fully revealed will prove it was a necessity.

They should be happy to get a 1st that they can flip—and happy that it didn’t take any retention to get it done. They can fully walk away from the Miller situation.

 

[sansabri]

buyer's market so far

 

[DekeyPete]

Good luck miller , you carried us when we needed it. Hope chytil stays healthy for us and we flip their first to the pens and pettersson is the return. Then that 1st lights up the rags for years . Lol

 

[CanMerc]

Canucks should have waited until the deadline

It’s very possible JTM would only waive for NYR and waiting any longer could only lower the return even more

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Return is underwhelming but they get cap space. Definitely a retool year now for Van. The Rangers will be a seniors center soon with all these older guys locked up.. Miller doesn't get them over the top either.

 

[Viqsi]

Vancouver now rooting for the Rangers to resume their freefall as a result of this trade.

 

[Oilslick941611]

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

Are they though? They should be happy to be rid of miller.

 

[MessierThanThou]

$8 Million/year long-term for a guy who recently had a 100 point season is a great deal, and I don't think it's a sure-bet that Miller will fall apart just because he's 31. So many guys are still playing quite well into their 30s..

I think Canucks fans are in hard cope mode with such a staggering loss. Can they at least keep Boeser?

 

[VancouverJagger]

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.

Geez u must be a ton of fun at parties...........it's not all doom and gloom. Give Pete 20 games here to see how he does without Miller and then have some judgements please........

I'm very pleased with this trade. Not sure what we are gonna do with our cap space and the assets we acquired but u know it will be put to work........let's see where.

He parlayed Bo into a top 4 RHD - something we were in desperate need of. Let's see what they choose to do this time. If it were me I'd want a Top 4 LHD then a 2/3C if you can find one althou that can wait to the offseason......a Top 4 LHD is our biggest need atm IMO.

 

[Three On Zero]

Mancini was literally not even ranked in the Rangers top-14 prospects by Wheeler. Calling him a "RD with huge potential" is a massive stretch.

Rangers fans wanted him to stay over Schneider, I’ll take their opinion on this one

 

[JetsFan815]

I don't mind this for the Canucks. Chytil is a good player and that pick could be a good one even if it gets deferred to next year.

 

[Kcb12345]

This is a sign at the game in Dallas tonight lol
