Confirmed with Link: [VAN/NYR] JT Miller, Erik Brannstrom, & Jackson Dorrington for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and 1st 2025 (Top-13 Protected, Unprotected after)

[Reverend Mayhem]

I gotta say on first look I kinda hate this

You were always gonna. Same as me.

 

[Diversification]

Fuk Mancini is a hammer..........Please dear Jesus let him be a player. Our team needs a hammer like this that can make a first p

Many hammers are also Ents. The Venn diagram is almost completely overlapping. Want to see if he has any puck skills and passing ability, is he mobile enough. My guess is, probably not.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

All I see is "he's a tree". But I'm open minded. I'd like more information on the guy but doesn't seem to be alot.

 

[iFan]

Rumor going around now on Twitter about why Miller was on leave. Not great sources so look it out with a grain of salt.

What’s the rumour?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

This still doesn't make sense though.

My $60,000 truck is taking up too much space in my garage. I would like more space in my garage.

So I will give the truck away for $10,000. Sure, I lost $50,000 in value, but now I have all this space in my garage!

...what do you mean I could've sold the truck for $40,000 and still gotten that extra space in my garage?

Should not have bought a $60k truck in the first place.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

^ if he had all of those at the NHL level, you’d have heard about him. He’s a 22 year old work in progress. My guess is they’ll slot him into games and realize he still needs work.

What’s the rumour?

Don’t perpetuate stupid rumours.

 

[calnuck]

You were always gonna. Same as me.

I was fine with whatever choice between JT and EP management went with. But idk if Chytil can bring even close to what Miller brings. My only hope is that this really does fix the locker room and certain players begin to play better

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I really don’t wanna hear about Mancini’s hammer.

 

[calnuck]

Interesting. If you don't mind PMing me what you read. I don't have an X acc.

Me as well

 

[iFan]

Rangers fans are mad because they're 22nd in the league, tied for 9th out of 9 teams realistically competing for two wildcard spots in the east, and just sold futures for a 32 year old with the potential to further disrupt a locker room that has already imploded once this season.

Honestly I wouldn’t be too happy either, Rangers aren’t cup contenders and they jut took on an older player with term, although a very good player.

 

[mriswith]

For some reason, the league has never valued JT. Not even when he was putting up 100 points as a 1st line c. for 5 mil I don't get it.

Mike straight admitted in a Swedish news paper that hockey isn’t even his first passion, he only does it for a living cause he’s good at it

oh god. There will be blood.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

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

I think they recognize it’s a good deal. Just not for the Rangers who are already an old team with expensive players on the decline and are at best a bubble team.

At this point happy to take my chances.......I'm not upset about this trade at all from all accounts this was not the worst prospect to target. If you knew who we have been playing on D this year you would understand my enthusiasm........It's been rough for a while - legit it's gonna be hard to replace anyone there with someone worse......

This.

Rangers won the deal easily, their fans would just rather they rebuild.

 

[geebster]

Explain?

"Getting rid of Miller"
"Fixing the locker room"
"Extra cap space"

All of those things are achieved with any JT Miller trade.

There's no reason to trade him for such a poor return.

People are just using those as excuses as to why the poor return was acceptable.

I mean... if you see the Ranger fans reaction and the league wide comments about Miller... you were never going to get a return that matched his calibre of player. 90% of the reason is that, for like the 10th time, has caused a locker room problem and is being shopped. Very publicly too. Rutherford doesn't help at all but frankly the return was going to be bad trading him now.

It's why the smartest thing was trade in off season and hope that in that time he'd gained some value back. This is the lowest his value has ever been and now is when we traded him. It sucks but the guy is clearly a problem case. People wrongly compare him to Kesler but Kesler justified it by always leading by example while being a pain in the ass.

Hypothetical, but if a group of players like Hughes, Demko, Myers etc came to Allvin and said get this guy out of here, that would be a reason to move him with urgency, no?

More I look at this trade the more I see it's one of the rare lose lose situations.

Miller is going to go ham on him

in this analogy your truck is in fire and you’re trying to get it out before your garage, which is connected to your house, also catches on fire

There's a very good chance they miss the playoffs this year and are even worse next season. Let's hope!

So you believe that every minute that Miller stayed with the Canucks was damaging the team?

Because they were on a 3 game win streak... And he had 14 points in his last 17 games.. while Pettersson had 6 in his last 17...

I really think they could've afforded to wait for a better return. They were in a playoff spot.

More I look at this trade the more I see it's one of the rare lose lose situations.

Honestly the more I look at this trade, the more I think it's a freaking miracle we got even this awful return if the Rangers were in fact the only potential buyer for JT.

Unfortunately your truck has a bomb strapped to it that has gone off before and will likely go off again. Who is giving you 40k for that?
