I understand your thinking but who knows. Vancouver is a very beautiful place to live.

Oh they won’t waive him. I’m in agreement there.

You are probably right. I feel selfish for wanting Chytil to play because he has skills our team lacks (speed) but also fearful about his health issues. I do not think the main fear is missing weeks. I think the main fear is worse. I think Chytil is a great guy so I really hope he has some good luck health wise.

When you have team control, you either use it to limit liability via short term contracts that force them to perform to get paid, or you get a long term deal at a discount for financial security.
What you don't do is give guys max years at market value off an ELC for anything other than elite guys. Such a basic failure and they all do it.

The Canucks are a daytime soap opera

I don’t think the Canucks will do it but if the offers are that low, they should just call JT’s bluff. Tell him he’s not playing and unless he opens his desired locations, they’ll talk to him again in the summer.
That coupled with telling the acquiring teams “we’re not taking a bath on this deal, we’re fine just waiting it out and trading him when offers improve”. It’s not like Vancouver is playing for anything this year anyways.
They won’t do it because the NHL is boring but that would be exciting.

This, coupled with all the reports about Pettersson, makes me feel like they're on a full court press to get this done ASAP and are trying to get teams to up their offers

Until today all the reports were that JT wanted to stay, it’s Vancouver that put themselves in position where they need to trade him because they destroyed their own locker room. They can’t afford to wait or their season will be over. Contrary to popular belief, punting seasons is not a viable strategy for teams.

I believe that may have been part of why Miller was out to start the season. That doesn't help them as they then have $8m in dead cap space they can't use and a player whose value is just going to drop further.
I get the sense that Miller came back with an agreement in place basically saying 'I will come back and play, but there needs to be an effort to move me'. I think he may be sensing a hesitancy to get it done considering it was close not long ago and he's probably saying something like 'I came back and upheld my part of the bargain, get it done'.
Now that the offers are less than the owner wants they are throwing out info that other teams are interested and Petersson is available, etc. I doubt it. Imagine a scenario where they trade Petersson and Miller still wants to leave. It doesn't make sense

Vancouver literally trying anything to get the Rangers to up their offer
Pettersson is clearly not a healthy player.
Vancouver needs to allow him to get right before they do anything.

I wanted Pettersson before he signed his latest extension. Im not so sure about him now. Something seems off with him.
Miller is what this team needs, inside a vacuum, but unless they find a way to fleece Van for him i'd stay away

Clearly Vancouver is trying to bait teams into trading a bunch of assets for the wrong Elias Pettersson

Calgary is competing. They won't move their core D who's also signed to a reasonable deal, especially with unsigned Lindgren as a key piece.

As much as Chytil + Lindgren + protected 1st for Miller is a steal for us, I'm more than fine just side-stepping that whole circus and keeping Chytil and the draft pick.
Lindgren for a 3rd at the deadline would still be an improvement to the roster.

2 days off before sunday. This would seem like the logical day to get the JTM deal done so everyone can start adjusting. Have him at a practice tomorrow

If you want to trade Pettersson, trade Pettersson. If you want to trade Pettersson because you're angry at the value offered for Miller, you should be canned from the organization.

I really like Chytil the player. I hate how I have to hold my breath whenever he is on the ice or attacking the middle of the ice. I'm okay including him for Miller, but the remainder of the deal needs to be commensurate with the Rangers giving up a 5v5 point producing young center. Basically, the remainder of the package needs to be practically little value.
All of this is moot if they are retaining though

They called up the other Elias Pettersson. Maybe they are going to try to trick a team into paying for one and taking the other.

I think it's a coping mechanism of softening the blow of expected disappointment.
