Seravalli: Official JT Miller Trade Thread - NEW Update (1/25/22) - Rangers Interest "Next Level"

[DekeyPete]

Cue the bidding war!

Kappo maybe Rangers haven't had the #1 overall in 50 years if the guys busts he busts but it will be in blue.
I don't think JT Miller is the key piece for this team. Would I love to have him yes! We have a number 1 center and if we are going to pay for a number 1 price I think Drury would want a younger cost controlled asset.
I could be wrong. I just don't see it. I think the Rangers make some moves but they are not going all in.
IMO they do not need a top six center they need a good 3C, a cheap winger like Debrusk, or Kessel and a D man for the bottom 6.

Debrusk has a $3.675m cap hit, he is only $1.575m lower than Miller, but a fraction of a player. He is also RFA after this season whereas Miller has another year left.
Kessel has a $6.8m cap hit, I would argue that Miller is a better player overall.
If you are trading assets for these guys (Debrusk/Kessel) that doesn't move the needle, why not just save the assets and not do anything at all?
If you want to give your team the best chance to make a run, I think Miller is the way to go. You can play Miller as a top 6 winger, or in case of an injury to Zibby/Strome, Miller is more than capable of filling in.
I would totally understand if Drury doesn't think its time to "go all in" and end up passing on Miller, that is definitely reasonable. I would be disappointed if he waste valuable assets and/or cap space for fringe guys that doesn't help much in Debrusk/Kessel though.

I dont see Calgary being a landing spot unless we can get a uncontional 2022/2023 first from them.

Boston the only player i would really look at is Carlo

Minny has an interesting prospect pool and could give us a pretty good return

 

[Peat]

What do the pens have left to trade? Pittsburgh has been trading futures for over a decade and it's worked they have 3 cups.

But it does mean the cupboard has to be pretty bare

Prospects and players that Rutherford really likes I doubt we can put together the best offer fans here will like, but it might be our guys are still players Rutherford really values.

Cue the bidding war!

I don't buy it. I think the three names are specifically leaked to prompt certain specific teams to offer more.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I don't think the Bruins have the right pieces.

At least what's been asked.

Do you go into every thread with insider posts and claim the same thing?

 

[mriswith]

I want Brackett back as part of the trade return with Minnesota.

Not surprising at all that their prospect pool looks monstrous since he joined.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Probably would require a third party so both teams fanbase can fell less dirty.

Nobody has the right pieces if you believed the Vancouver fans in this thread

Do you go to every thread and confront people who might say something you dont agree with?

This is the first response you've seen of mine like this but its not the first time you've stated this exact thing. So with a basic level of intelligence you could answer your own question.

Confront??

A basic level of intelligence? I'll leave that to you.

Proceed with your various pillow fights.

You're like the new holymackinaw with your hatred of Vancouver.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think I'd be down with a 1st+ at the TDL, and then sending him somewhere at the draft for roughly the same.

 

[canadianmagpie]

If Boston, Minnesota and Calgary are wanting Miller, I'm looking at prospects/picks coming back because there isn't much that interests me off their rosters that they would be willing to move that is a fit for the Canucks.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Love JT Miller, amazing player, but I see a team overpaying for him and Miller disappointing them.

 

[Canucks LB]

Which is exactly what we have said for weeks.
It’s nice that it’s being talked about by a legit insider now also basically

 

[Canucks LB]

Audio just posted.
Listen for yourself

 

[Taluss]

If the ask is Schneider + I hope Rangers move on and aim for Chychrun for that price.

Not that I blame Nucks for asking that

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Love JT Miller, amazing player, but I see a team overpaying for him and Miller disappointing them.

Miller will not disappoint. Someone may overpay but he will not disappoint.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Love JT Miller, amazing player, but I see a team overpaying for him and Miller disappointing them.

Doubtful anyone will be singing “Cry Me a River” if they trade for JT.

 

[Bazeek]

I'm curious to know if Minnesota's rumored interest is recent or just a rehash of what was talked about earlier in the year. Guerin trying to do something around Miller and Fiala didn't surprise me; Guerin paying the Canucks' price in futures would surprise me a lot. Never know, though.

 

[treple13]

I have no idea how the Flames would work JT's cap for next season, we're going to have to get rid of someone to just keep our guys already. But we're also going to need some cheap rookies, so I can't imagine we're dealing Pelletier. Zary? Who knows.

Minnesota 1st + Calen Addison
