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

I am doom and gloom because I want this team to have players that want to win not whiney soft players that don't show up when it matters most.... hahaha ok then.....

I have some degree of faith in EP.......If he can ever manage to get his head on straight he could be a very good player........his defensive awareness is solid and he's shown signs of offense........I'm very interested to see how he makes out now that Miller is gone.........Outside of Hughes our fortunes are most tied to this player I think for the foreseeable future. If he plays like a superstar our chances increase dramatically. I see signs this is possible.........I'm an optimist by heart but we got a chance here with him for sure........

What's the one paragraph coles notes on why he's a prick?

 

[ColbyChaos]

8 million for a #1C, or the best #2C in the NHL after Draisaitl is a steal.

Especially with the new salary cap numbers released this morning. 8 million is going to look like 6 million.

He’s 32 lmao he will have more seasons as a bad player for New York than a good one. I get the standards expectations for a centers are at rock bottom for New York but Miller will age like milk there, he isn’t in his prime anymore

 

[its not that serious]

I'm a Rangers fan, I like JT Miller, I've missed him since the Rangers traded him to Tampa Bay. I'm happy to see him a Ranger again.

Vancouver fans, you may not be happy, but you won this trade. Chytil is better than you think. Mancini looks like he's going to be an NHL defenseman. And you shed salary, drama, and get an extra first round pick.

 

[Bender Duster]

Neutral fan take: given the hand they were dealt, I think Van did really well on this deal.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Why did Miller step away for so long

 

[waitin425]

Lose-Lose in my opinion.

Vancouver doesn't get better and Rangers although probably better on paper is still in danger of missing playoffs and Miller is no spring chicken.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

He is not the 2nd best 2C in the league.

Correct he's now a top 15 #1 centre on the Rangers.

 

[Ciao]

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.

Addition by subtraction.

 

[BergyWho37]

As expected underwhelming return for Miller

 

[gabevh3]

25 is really shallow and you'd hope the Rangers crater.

So 26 is deeper? I thought 25 was

There was also news 2 weeks ago that Quinn Hughs was tired of Miller's sh**.

Funny how everyone missed that one because it doesn't suit the narrative

Link? Googled and couldn’t find anything

 

[Ciao]

Good lord it is finally done.

Chytil, a prospect and a lottery protected 1st for Miller is my guess



Super predictable. Major L for the Canucks but it's about as good as they could have done considering the circumstances.

Nicely done.

There is about a 3% chance they miss. They've pretty much got poor first half performances from virtually everyone and they're still just 5 points out of a spot.

 

[Brookbank]

The Canucks can now afford to add a 12.2 million dollar player at the deadline

 

[UnSandvich]

So 26 is deeper? I thought 25 was

26 is a way better draft

 

[JKG33]

Nicely done.

His prediction was a lot better here than his Guentzel one

I’m all the way on the east coast so I’m typically asleep when shit hits the fan in Vancouver lmao. What was the actual issue here?

They can go get another EP! Mitch Marner c'mon down

 

[PuckG]

We all know who the pouty haters are , who were going to say this regardless what the return was. And you were probably one of the ones saying what a disaster the Miller contract was when he signed it.

We can tell who is just being annoying and who is doing objective trade analysis.

Most people on here, including Canuck fans are reiterating what I said. Don’t let your bias fool you.

Miller has a solid contract. Doesn’t help the Canucks though.

All objective.

3%? that specific eh?

You don't birdie every hole.

Hello insider. What other deals are being discussed? Lol

 

[gritdash60]

What is better decision for a underwhelming roster than to bring in known locker room cancer, well done Rangers.

 

[PettersonHughes]

I'm cautiously optimistic about the trade, since Chytil has upside and Mancini's a valuable asset (big, young RHD) and Allvin is good with capitalizing on early picks. Hope he cooks with the ingredients he gets in the trade.
