Chytil has a history with Concussions. We should flip the 1st for Byram’s concussions. Open up a ward at VGH for Canucks with Concussions.

Hearing Pettersson will also not be playing tonight.

He will be at the airport making sure Miller gets on the plane.

You know the return looks shitty but I predict posters here will, over the next day or so, begin to rationalize and believe it was not all that bad. "Miller's getting old when he had another season or two in him". "We got back pretty much the same draft pick that we use to get him." "Toxic, that's all he's worth anyways." Etc etc.

Is Huggy up to it? Seems to be a quiet type.
Elias the saviour will be a be man now.

We bought him new "you're the man" PJ'S, made his bed, oiled up his Scooter, gave him 92 million and chased away a hard nosed, skilled, demanding player for a bag of dogshit.

Cuz says he's gonna win Art Ross trophies and lead us to Cups now.

Little fucker had to steer clear of Socialz before.

Just wait and see what happens if he doesn't step his gMe up after this abortion...

Was anyone held accountable?

The GM held an interview to talk about living up to a new standard and earning what was contractually agreed upon. The exact same message but phrased in a kinder, gentler way perhaps.

Let's see if this happens...

I think most posters realize that trading a player in season with a NMC will never get you the best return, especially if he wouldn't waive for more than a team or two.

Al la Kesler.

Surprised they actually got that first really.

Right now the Rangers pick is 11th OA if the season ends today leaving it protected. Which is fine, save it for the Mckenna draft in 2026.

Fat Frank says the centerpiece isn't Jacob Shittle it's getting out from under that contract and term.

Van now has an assload of cap space and a premium draft pick to wheel.

...or you could look at it that our current illustrious Management team signed both players to long term deals, ignoring what you imply to be true (6 years here and all of a sudden Miller is a toxic prick) and that, over anything else, should be our real concern.

We need them to suck hard this year and even harder next. Next year's draft class is deep

Maybe Miller can go after Zabinajad next

It sounds like Miller was holding players accountable, especially Pete, but maybe he just did it in too toxic a manner. There's a big void now and Huggy needs to fill it. There's as much pressure on him as on Pete.

They've got this cat named Shesterkin.

Your pick is max mid round is my guess.
