For those of you bangingon Chytil I suggest you go and read Rangers boards re him. It's all "hes a good player etc. BUT he's one hit away from his career being over." That has obviously dinged his value but I gathered if he could stay healthy people generally thought he would be a very solid player. IF being the optimal word here........

I recall reading that he changed his training over the summer to train with Jagger and he came back stronger this year and more confident about taking damage as apparently he's had some collisions this year..........So I'm cautiously optimistic here.........

Let's see how he does in a 2nd line Center role here.........I wonder who he's gonna play with? Boeser and ?

 

[Quinning]

Rangers fans are lukewarm on this, which speaks volumes about Miller's reputation because they should be doing cartwheels.

Gary Mason seems to agree:

Gary Mason come back from the dead and now is the be all end all of Canucks info.

So strange.

Rangers fans are lukewarm on this, which speaks volumes about Miller's reputation because they should be doing cartwheels.

I think they all just hate Drury.

Dang boyy has some aggressiveness..........he just went to the top of my "Most Interesting Prospects" List..........He absolutely can't be worse then some of the tomato cans we've seen. I think all of us will do a prayer once Juuulsen is banished to another Universe, never to be seen again........holy fuk what a tire fire with him please dear god make him leave........

I can't speak to the degree of unrest, I'm just speaking about the timing. Take it to the TDL.

Miller must have been at some level for this to be purely addition by subtraction. I don't doubt he was the major problem. To me, it was never an even issue between him and Pettersson. But they took it this far sacrificing the room, just take it a bit futher.

Anyway, I hope you're right. That this removes a lot of toxin from that room and they can get back to just playing.

Again, I think it speaks to the level of toxicity for them to move him now. They needed/wanted him gone. This was not just about on ice interests.

 

[Quinning]

Watch us get #13 pick this year. Then our 2026 pick becomes a lottery pick because our team will be even more ass next season when JTM blows up on Mika for being soft and shit.

Yes, I think that's best case scenario.

 

[ChilliBilly]

With the Cap going up, it won’t matter.

Every team is going to have room and have the same thoughts.

Totally disagree. Cap space will always be valuable. Just ride it out, and either jump in when FA hits, or at the TDL when some team needs cap relief. The exact opposite of what the Canucks have done for a long time.

 

[F A N]

What worries me is Pete is in the cross hairs now. If this doesn't work out (it won't) well the shield that JT Miller was doesn't exist anymore. Goodluck...

I am not worried. Remember we spent years discussing Petey’s performance against other top Cs? Well if he can’t perform under pressure we aren’t going anywhere anyways. But ya right now I am not confident and I don’t have high expectations.

 

[credulous]

he beefed with Henrik Lundqvist of all players.
I think Tampa traded him for cap reasons.

tampa could have kept him if they wanted to. they chose yanni gourde over him instead

someone connected with the red wings and the u michigan program told me there was zero chance yzerman would ever trade for miller again after acquiring him in tampa

Mainboards has been full of Miller is a problem threads for months now. He also had the bozo meme from NYR originally

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

My honest reaction

Thank god, no matter what happen next(EP stays or not), please let this be the end of this entire clown saga

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

wild how after how much we all talked about the insanity of trading a first for jt miller, his tenure ends with the centerpiece being a 1st coming back

it's also the modern day bonino, sbisa, 1st, to the destination that was speculated all along as his top team

lol

@JTmillerForA1stLOL

 

[Vector]

Mancini was in the same draft as Lekkerimaki and D-Petey. Was an overager, though.

 

[Isi]

Something tells me Eddie isn't a JT fan.

i read it the opposite way tbh. bad news = crack out the booze

 

[Rotang]

Wonder how long before we learn all the gory behind the scenes details. If the reaction on this board is any indication management will want to do damage control and shift the optics.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Rangers fans are lukewarm on this, which speaks volumes about Miller's reputation because they should be doing cartwheels.

Well yes cause other fans don’t have colour lenses

They know Miller’s reputation. And let’s be honest, outside of last season, he’s been the typical Bozo

 

[rypper]

The urgency of the trade speaks to the impact on the room. It wasn't just a Miller - Pettersson thing anymore.

 

[arttk]

Getting back a defensman who is big was likely Tocchet’s only ask.

Yeah he big

 

[F A N]

Disagree with you here. Current day Chytil is much better than current day Kreider.

You can disagree but a contending team won’t (position needs aside). I will bet on Kreider playing better over Chytil staying healthy.

Gary Mason seems to agree:

This is about where I land, wish they would have waited for the deadline. I suppose one reason is they may want to maximize the evaluation window to see how Pettersson performs without the distractions before his NMC kicks in.

 

[just22]

Either Miller was a bigger toxic presence in the locker room than anticipated (ie not just a hard ass to Pettersson) or they have a target in mind and know the cost to acquire him and needed to trade Miller to get those pieces (1st rounder).

 

[hellstick]

Interesting return. I like Chytil, but there's risk. I'm unsure of Mancini, he seems like a bottom pair D, big whoop there. 1st is a win though.

He clearly plagiarized from someone else.
