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

[Flik]

First-rounder going to Vancouver is top-13 protected this year, Post has learned. If NYR are in top 13 this year, it would become unprotected first rounder next year.

I guess I hope that franchise implodes into nothingness.....? If we keep the pick I guess.

What an absolute disaster of a return.

Chytil (Shityl?) is a borderline negative value asset. NYR just took us to the cleaners.

There aren’t even words for how much I hate this. Window is closed. 100 point matchup C for an overpaid 3C with concussion issues and a 5D prospect.

Hopefully we trade Pettersson now too because I really don’t want to watch either of these immature losers ever play for this team again. They’ve both totally f***ed this team and the fans.

To me, a shitty return was sending out other important pieces or retaining. As long as they aren't retaining, I'm satisfied with the return. It was going to happen, it was going to be a loss, but it gives them cap space ammo, another centre, and a guy who should be playing over Juulsen.

This

Main parts of this deal, which was never going to be a home run for the value that Miller can provide (when he's on his game and not moping):

1. Management has finally stepped in to solve the Pettersson and Miller rift, which as been absolutely dragging this team down mentally for months, and was always leading to this outcome. They chose the younger player who has put up elite numbers before the age of 25 instead of the 32 year old with 5 years left on his deal.

2. We did not retain any money on this and have opened up 3.6MM for the next couple of years.

3. We got a first round pick which should be used as trade ammo to bring back more present value pieces.


If this revitalizes Pettersson's career and he embraces being "the guy", then we are far better off now than at any point this season. Mancini should be an upgrade short and long term over Juulsen and Desharnais types. But at the end of the day we were always going to feel like we lose a deal on face value.

So how long does Petey have to turn things around before Allvin goes full scorched earth and he wakes up in Columbus?

 

[Knight53]

Got the first to either stock prospect pool or flip for dman

Kept 100 point selke calibre Pettersson

Chytil is underrated.

Have capspace to go after Rantanen/Marner

This is a win IMO

Ooooooohh that's a valuable trade chip.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I was so close to buying a Miller jersey last year too.

cheaper now

 

[SillyRabbit]

Chytil is one hit away from his career being over.

He can't even play with playoff-level intensity because he's always gotta be looking over his shoulder for a career-ending hit.

I hate this trade.

Rutherford and Allvin have proved a level of incompetence this season that not only wipes away everything they did last season, but calls into question whether they should be in charge of this team in the long term.

Their next few moves are going to be make-or-break for their time here IMO.

 

[drax0s]

pick apparently top 13 protected? Weird number.

[thefeebster]

This looks hideous to me… I would have been fine waiting for the off-season to have more options.

 

[Bleach Clean]

No retention on Miller. That's pretty big.

It's big when Drury makes it the faux sticking point.

This looks hideous to me… I would have been fine waiting for the off-season.

Same. Or at least until after the 4 Nations.

My guess is that they feared injury.

Whoah! It would be crazy if NYR didn’t improve this year and it became an unprotected first the year after next!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

IDK, they did just get younger for what it's worth.

Team has no real youth aside from Willander and Lekk.

They now have a massive hole at center and still need to fix the blueline.

It's a major ask.

 

[VanillaCoke]

You don't really mind this return after thinking he could return Heiskanen from Dallas? What the hell?

You're frequently hilarious my guy hahah, keep it up pls & thx

What's the word on Mancini?

Chytil as a center piece f***ing blows.

Hopefully they can flip that pick for something useful because that seems like an awful deal for the Canucks.

He looked solid if not a little underripe in the half dozen games i saw of him, and definitely going from Lindgrens trash contract to Mancini and a first is a big upgrade.

Ok that's a pretty ok condition. I'm happy enough with that

I can deal with this

now that is a bright spot.

 

[JT Milker]

I hate how this management handled this. The return sucks.

The return sucks but I’m not sure what people are expecting. Two players hated each other enough to force a trade and we kept the one everyone wanted to keep.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I don’t hate the return getting Lafrenière, Schneider, Perrault or Miller in return was a pipe dream. I was just hoping for a better prospect than Mancini.

 

[Lindgren]

Added scoreboard watching excitement. Do we cheer for the Rangers to finish 14 from the bottom, or do we want the unprotected pick?

I know; it doesn't matter because the pick will be traded.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Have to think the writing is on the wall for Boeser now.

TDL at the latest.

 

[Kryten]

Meh. Thanks for the memories Millsy. I will miss Miller time. It was pretty obvious he was only going to NYR. Marconi and the 1st are interesting. Chytil is maybe our 2nd C so Pettersson better smarten up or gtfo

 

[iFan]

The 11 overall pick as of now is the center piece imo. But Miller may be enough to push the NYR into the playoffs so the value of the pick could decline.
I wonder if they have a deal to flip the first already in place to acquire Byram?

If they can get Byram for that 1st then this is looking a lot better. We have a big hole in the top 6, more holes once Boeser is traded.
