Rumor: Report: Rangers inquired about Canucks' Miller

[Boonk]

Why do I bring that up? Cause I wanna see a good team on the ice and I’m investing a lot of money to see my favourite team play decently?

I also want this team to be set up for the future to make it worthwhile

That dont happen by trading fkin JT Miller bud lmfao

 

[Peter Griffin]

Miller and his wife have a bunch of charities and ties to vancouver, the team wants him, management wants him, and even dubbed him the spiritual leader. there is 0 chance he will be traded at this point. EP will be moved before him, and that is becoming more and more unlikely as EP is back to being productive. the Rags lost their chance to acquire him.

what was the ask?

Schneider
Lundkvist
1st
?

I believe it was Schneider, Chytl, 1st and Rangers wanted to move Lundkvist in place of Schneider.

Sounded like NYR wanted it to be Lundkvist, Chytil and a 1st. Van holding out for Schneider as the Dman instead.

 

[Three On Zero]

Miller has only gotten better, NYR doesn’t really have a package that would make sense for Vancouver. Rags missed the boat years ago

I love this Miller to NYR timeline as a looooong time Braden Schneider chasing Canucks fan.

- We want him his draft year, but trade our 1st for Miller himself.

- Schneider goes one pick before ours to kind of calm any pain from missing out anyways.

- We ask for him while he's in the WHL but get told no.

- We ask for him after he breaks into the NHL and get told no.

- We try to dump Miller for a package of garbage, but insist on Schneider over Lundkvist, get told no.

- We finally just trade for a RHD plus draft our own version in Willander.

Now we're back!

So guess what?

No Schneider ---> No Miller.

Its so simple.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

What does you being a season ticket holder have anything to do?

you wouldn’t understand, you’re not a season ticket holder

No Miller it is then. Pleasant travels sir

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Rangers should get a finders fee discount

I do want to give props to all the Rags fans with their crystal ball though because after four years of chasing, the prophecy is true..

1. Schneider has settled into an affordable horse of a top 4 defenseman, perfectly fitting behind Fox and eating 20 min a night.

2. Before the Trouba deal actually expires he will be chased out of town or bought out so Rags do in fact need Schneider.

Well maybe #2 hasnt happened yet but is definetly in progess.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

I don’t personally see a Canadian market as the best place for Zib and honestly unless there is some other issue that hasn’t been reported I don’t see why Vancouver would even consider moving Miller

 

[beachcomber]

Zib isn't a player you win anything with. We already have Petey.

 

[iFan]

Management has been talking about win now, trading Miller is a lose now win in the future. He’s our best forward and we need everything he brings. I really can’t see Hughes being happy about trading our best forward. I can’t see the Canucks moving Miller and if he was on the block they have to call everyone, Miller is a player every team that’s trying to win now wants. Miller is a beast and a very hard player to find.

 

[Dust]

Both teams are in win now mode, I really don't think they make great trading partners.

 

[bernmeister]

I think we can all get on the same page here...

Either there is or is not a prob between JTM + EP. Period.
IF there is, Van has to decide to wait it out or deal with it, period.
If it is deal with it now, then the ? is which star do you deal, and presumably that revolves around what is the best return

Because of cap reality, Rs almost not interested in anything that doesn't involve Zib the other way on a big deal for either JTM or EP.
We understand there is a decline in Zib value and that must be reflected, probably including max retention

Can we agree upon this ^ and proceed accordingly?
There is some stupidity about dealing Kreider, which should not happen
and Schneider DEF is NOT getting moved except MAYBE to move Zib.

=================
Now, on another point, Hronek + Forbort are out the former long term, the latter - how long?
pls advise
a smaller deal to address that may be possible.
