Hate the trade from the Canucks perspective. Felt the team could trade their own 1st for Marcus Pettersson and go compete now. Team still has their first and a ton of cap space to try and find a top 2 forward to complete their lineup.
Canucks rented Miller for his prime and basically got back what they gave up for him and then some. Hopefully can achieve the same result with Chytl but it’s unlikely.
If Miller helps the Rangers make the playoffs, they didn’t give too much up for him.
With the cap going up, JTM’s contract won’t be the albatross it looked like it would become when the Canucks signed it, although I’m surprised by the projected cap increase despite the weak Canadian dollar.
