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

[Overcast]

That's what was said about Miller originally

Chytil gets concussed if he uses a pillow that's too firm. Gotta stay in the lineup to progress your talents. I don't see that happening for Chytil given his overall lack of awareness on the ice, his injury track record, and various mystery illnesses/injuries that flare up seemingly at random that have prevented him from flying/practicing/playing. At least Miller can stay in a lineup for more than 3 weeks at a time.

 

[NyQuil]

What? An expendable roster player, a 1st round pick and a random prospect?

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

It’s kind of funny how much people worship these pseudo macho tough guys in sports like Miller. He has never won shit. But because he hits and throws temper tantrums people act like he’s some sort of natural born leader and winner. He’s just as whiny as Pettersson, except Pettersson actually won a championship in a pro league before, and Miller hasn’t won anything except on a stacked USA WJC team. Not a coincidence he keeps getting traded despite being a PPG centre. Hes a cancer. And a loser.

Hard nose players are far far far more entertaining than the figure skating michigan trying types.

I strongly disagree. That’s pure subjective opinion.

 

[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

f***ing nailed it! I'm an insider!

That's what was said about Miller originally

It has been said about a multitude of players, and it's usually right. Admittedly, I didn't think Miller had the upside that he did, and I was wrong. That doesn't mean I'm wrong about Chytil. He's a quality middle six center when healthy. However, it seems like he spends 65% of the year either injured, or trying to put his game back together coming back from an injury. If he were to suddenly stay healthy all year and play with quality linemates, then I suppose he might be able to lift his game up a notch, but I'd be surprised to see it.

 

[Tebowz]

Great return for Vancouver. Miller is a player in decline and has too much baggage.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I doubt Chytil will be in the league within two years, he already said next concussion he is going to retire. Getting an asset for him is fantastic. Remember he almost missed the entire season last year.

 

[benfranklin]

Lol Vancouver

 

[Petes2424]

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

We’ll that didn’t take too long. There’s the top 4 Dman I was talking about.

Didn't realize there was any "worshipping" going on. He might not be a great guy to get along with but the fact of the matter is he has been the Canucks best player for atleast 2 of the past 5 years and a top 2 player for them the last 5. 100 point centres aren't exactly easy to come by, and for all his faults, the guy can play hockey. You really just brought up EP as a winner? Lmao that dude is the biggest baby in the league making 11.7M. What does that make him? Not a loser?

Ok I’m impressed

My favorite goals from Both Players.

You and I

 

[elitepete]

Of course Drury doesn't care about the first rounder. It's either we make the Playoffs and the pick conveys or we don't, Drury gets fired along with Laviolette and the new GM lacks a first round pick.

what gas drury done thats so bad?

 

[mlse2kk]

Not sure how I feel about this one yet.

Not the Swedish elite league championship. Hey everyone Marcus Messiersson coming through

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Mancini is an interesting prospect from what I'm seeing.

Chytil is a big question mark but has talent & upside. Hopefully he can stay healthy & be the solution at 2C but we will see. Definitely not a sure thing.

 

[Petes2424]

Expecting to hear a lot more of this over the next few months.

Teams kicking themselves for not being in on the Miller deal.

He was had for so cheap.

At some point fans have to start understanding what it means to have a player controlling where he’s going to be traded, and what that means to the return. The Canucks got about as much as anyone could’ve expected.

When a player has a NMC, or even many times he can do it with an NTC, because of cap reasons, or even arbitration status, he’s controlling much more than fans seem to want to understand.

It’s not like teams are making offers and his team then approaches him with the ones they like and ask him if he’d waive??

The player tells the team where he’s willing to go, and it’s then up to the team to make a deal. In this case, to the NYR and ONLY the NYR. The only thing the Canucks had was the ability NOT to trade him. Same as the Sens with Debrincat.. So the Rangers then try coming to something the Canucks would accept.

That’s how this works. The Canucks problem was, the longer this would’ve dragged on, the less they were going to get. So they found a fair deal. The Rangers wanted him “This Much” and the Canucks were willing to accept “This Little.”

That’s how it works.

If trading Miller helps the team gets back on track and fixes the locker room then it's a move that had to be made.

But if the Canucks continue to flounder this trade is going to look pretty ugly.
