Speculation: Zibanejad for Miller?

[samsagat]

Both are around the same age, both have their contracts running through 2030 with similar numbers.

Both are productive centers.

Zibanejad have become a "persona non grata" in NY.

Miller is rumoured to have a personal feud with "franchise" center Pettersson.

A change of scenery type of swap?

What do you think?

Zibanejad doesn't need a change of scenery, he just sucks. That's something to keep in mind.

Is NYR adding Perreault and a 1st to this?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

NYR would have to add Othmann or Mancini and a 2nd that they don’t have yet

Not sure if Zibanejad is a thoc type player.

At this point I prefer the standard template of 1st round pick, a blue chip prospect, one roster player etc etc over Zibanejad.

He's not, and in the end, this would make the Canucks worse.

Zibby looks like he is coasting/dissinterested now and collecting his paycheque … would be an awful idea for a team to acquire him unless it’s a rebuilding team with cap space and real good assets are included. Like a Zibby, prospect, picks type thing so it clears room for NYR

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dont need Miller back, future considerations and cap dump is all we neeed. Just get this idiot off the team.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Stop trying to trade Zibanejad, especially for players with value. Everyone knows he sucks and nobody wants him or his boat anchor contract.

Delete this thread. Too many threads already.

Seriously, what happened to him? I remember him being hyped in the '22-'23 season.

Don't listen to him Nuck's fans. Zibanejad is still elite. You guys will LOVE him. I promise. Pinky swear!

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

That would be so bad for Vancouver. Zib is not very good these days

 

[Peter Griffin]

Yea that’s gonna be a no.

 

[Savant]

This is a non-starter, but probably because Zibanejad is (probably) not waiving his NMC to go to Canada. So it does not matter how good or bad (its bad) that Zibanejad is; we probably don't have to worry about this.

 

[MakoSlade]

I think Vancouver should trade EP for Zibanejad. Z and Miller would form a perfect 1 - 2 combination at center. And likely become good friends too, Z's hard-working 200-foot effort will endear himself to Miler real quick.

got married, had a kid, and became a massive p***y

 

[Curufinwe]

Zib is playing worse than Couturier, and Couturier had two back surgeries

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Seems shit for Vancouver

 

[bernmeister]

1. Assume Zib waives to play w/ElPett
2. 'nucks have multiple options to relocate Miller for better than what OP posted
3 There IS a deal for zib to
Zib 50% max retained = 4.25 per
for
spare change: Raty, Juulsen + cap dumps Forbot + Desh.
This = acceptable risk of Zib + EP chemistry, and if that fails, can still retain another 2 ish and move to a cap cellar dweller
It also adds pivot depth at cost of D depth
but that is lesser quality D depth to replace

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This is a proposal dude. I think it should be Lafreniere+ for Miller.

 

[eviohh26]

We hate this guy and he sucks but you guys will like him now give us something good. - NYR fans.

 

[IComeInPeace]

No chance in hell.
