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

[PuckFather]

When you look at the trade logically it’s all about balance. Now Canucks have two Petterssons and Rangers two Millers. Of course leaving the AHL D-Petey out of the equation

 

[MillerTime29Bombs]

Charlie loves hugging it out. WTF.

 

[Rowlet]

This seems like a crap return on Miller. Essentially Miller for Pettersson and Chytil.

Locker room cancer, two star Centres fighting all year (and the past several apparently, while also getting on other people's nerves), what did you expect?

They got a similar return to the rumoured Pettersson offering (Cozens + Defenseman) while keeping the younger player who was "worth more."

 

[periferal]

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.

Don't worry...The rangers have a letter all queued up in case that happens...

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Already scored his first with NYR, 10 minutes in!

WELCOME BACK JT!

Cozens and Bryam/Power has a lot more value than Chytil + protected 1st however, if the choice is EP for that vs the Miller deal you do the Miller deal every time.

 

[periferal]

Bo Horvat 2.0.


(And the Canucks even traded the 1st they got in both deals soon after).

You'd rather have Chytil and a 1st (Pettersson) and EPettersson than Miller + Cozens and Power or Byram? That's f***ing nuts.

Byram is somewhat overrated and Power was probably not ever really available. Byram also wanted to go to a place where he can be the #1D with PP time etc, which is not Vancouver right now.

Chytil is underrated, but obviously age benefits the Buffalo duo. Cozens is also signed to 7.1 until 2028, while Chytil is signed to 4.4 until 2027, the Canucks moved a ton of garbage cap by moving Miller, Pettersson would have broken even.

Choosing Pettersson isn't solely because he's better, but that Miller starts shit with f***ing everyone and people seem to have gotten tired of it.

Gawdddd dammittt.................he's a solid player this isn't surprising........

Chytil is underrated and relatively close to Cozens, but obviously age benefits the Buffalo duo. Cozens is also signed to 7.1 until 2028, while Chytil is signed to 4.4 until 2027, the Canucks moved a ton of garbage cap by moving Miller, Pettersson would have broken even.

Miller gets a goal but is also leading on ice discussions with teammates. Ranger leadership group needs to get Miller to just play and not yap too much.

EP scored 100 points at 24 years old, so… yea.

They need Miller to yap more actually

 

[Breakers]

Why does ESPN keep saying that trocheck and Miller have “strong” chemistry from the past

Where does the chonology line up?

the 2013 world juniors? Seems to be it????

 

[Fatass]

EP scored 100 points at 24 years old, so… yea.

And JT Miller is coming 33. Even though the cap is going up, it’s wise to move off aging players, and that’s ignoring the other obvious concerns with the player.

Guy got a good bounce who cares lol

They do? Is he going to take over their room? He is a loud voice who will not stay quiet.

 

[VancouverJagger]

He could yah, glad we're paying 11.6 million for that.........


You haven't been a Canucks fan for long enough then

Well I'm 50 and been a fan since I was 5? Maybe at 50 years a fan then i will be qualified to give thoughts?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Need Miller to be a big time bully to whip the rest of these bitches into shape

It's really one of the reasons Drury wanted him. Total culture change with him. There are a good number of players on the Rangers that need guys like JT to help empty their gas tanks.

Kreider seems to be moved down the lineup. No pp too. Maybe Rangers are going to force Kreider out?

Sadly, that is often not the direction these things take. Players are all millionaires with ego and pride. This is not Gretzky entering the dressing room of some pee wee team. If Miller does Miller things he can fracture a dressing room at a moment. If he enters the room, shuts up, and leads with his play he will be a valuable addition. But Bozo can't shut up. There is risk.

 

[njdevils1982]

comical stuff

 

[gritdash60]

So let me get this straight: JT was mad for the work ethic of a swedish center in Elias Pettersson, and NYR management said: "yes he will love Zibanejad"? This is going to be so funny.
