With this kind of return, our pick will be higher than 13.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 4:36 pm https://x.com/PierreVLeBrun/status/1885486324427202891

Don’t get too attached to that 1st rd pick. Rutherford has already hinted at flipping it.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 4:32 pm We also don’t retain on Miller so we have cleared up 3.2 more cap. Have to think more moves coming. What is clear is that the 1st and cap space was what was important.
The recent Rutherford interview was obviously planned in preparing the market for this disappointing trade. It’s all become clear now. Gave it 5 days and then pulled the trigger

Re: JT Miller Traded to NYR
The jig was up as soon as Räty was called up. I wager at that point, it was a matter of hashing out the finer points of the deal.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 4:38 pm The recent Rutherford interview was obviously planned in preparing the market for this disappointing trade.

Re: JT Miller Traded to NYR
No question the Rangers get, by far, the best player in the deal. The return is underwhelming but I think this is par for the course when dealing with adversarial situations. The Canucks get a centre back which they needed. The get another RHD prospect. They get a protected 1st and free up a ton of cap.
They were never going to get equal value for miller.
I am saddened that we lose a balls to the wall heart and soul player that could carry the team on his back on any given night. I am glad the saga is over. If Pettersson thought he had pressure before well it’s just beginning now. Everything he does will be measured by what we lost.

Will the fans keep up the JT Miller chant the same way they did the Bruce chant?

So top 13 protected. Underwhelming but I guess since the Canucks are likely to flip it who cares.

Imagine if Peter goes too. That'd be pretty wild wouldn't it.

If it results in the Hughes brothers coming to Vancouver, I don’t care what else besides that 1st round pick goes the other way.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 4:43 pm So top 13 protected. Underwhelming but I guess since the Canucks are likely to flip it who cares.

If this was the best we could get from the Rangers imagine how bad the other offers were.

Hearing Pettersson will also not be playing tonight.
He will be at the airport making sure Miller gets on the plane.

Like Wids said, though, the laser pointers are now all on Petey. No more excuses wunderkind; time to man up and deliver.
