Is it really Miller’s fault, the blame should be on drury.

They should trade for Petey for maximum chaos.

Trading Miller was undoubtedly the best move this management team have made in 2 years.
And yet somehow, that day is still barely a net positive

He’s undeniably an awesome player when’s on his game and the vibes are good.
But man he is poor captain material. Being a competitive jerk has got to be one of the most overrated qualities in sports.

Hopefully Mancini works out long term, but just getting out of Millers contract was a big plus.

Ohhh you mean to tell me the guy who, despite being more than solid NHL player, has been bounced from 3 teams, might possibly be a locker room cancer???

Still amazed the Rangers agreed to this.

Yes jt Miller who, all the team USA guys said was an amazing locker room guy.

I think the Canucks got out at the right time. He looks washed and not interested. When he was locked in, I don’t think there’s many players in the league better than him. At least he stopped that goal from going in in the olympics, though and killed a 5 on 3.

Truly one of the very rare loose loose trades. This of course was because we traded the 1st for Marcus Pettersson and DOC. Essentially we recieve DOC, MPetey, Chytil and Mancini. We are hoping to ship out DOC for a 2nd, Chytil is just gonna sit out his contract and retire [which I feel no ill will towards, dude needs to not die out there] and Mancini is struggling and likely won’t be on the NHL roster much longer with guys like Krill and potentially Verhoff if we draft 3rd.

Its super unfortunate how everything went down with Miller, Petey and that whole timeline. It definitely did a lot to crater the season, obviously, and caused a lot of waves.
Ultimately, I was not sad to see Miller go, just wish it was under better circumstances.

Mukhamadullin looks like hes becoming a decent player too.

And yet we traded Bo instead of him.
We knew this guy was locker room cancer but kept him anyway. This just further validates it.

Finally getting revenge for Messier. I know that wasn’t technically a trade, but I’ll take it.

I look at the rangers and they traded away tough players who looked after their team, players like kreider, trouba (tho with questionable character) then i look back at the canucks and they traded away horvat, schenn, ian cole, zadarov, now garland and myers. That’s a lot of character or culture guys we lost. Wonder if miller would have been more muted or at least calmed by other veterans who were not afraid to speak up and hold each other accountable.
Seems we lost a lot of leadership there and no one to fill void and what allowed miller to overwhelm the group.
We need to rebuild culture and bring in a couple of veteran tone setters w strong characters.

Glad he’s their problem now. 😂

Canucks Rangers both worse after the trade lol

I *think* we need to evaluate in November of 2026.
If we clear out Kane. Sign Blueger to an extension. And have a team with young talent (including McKenna or Stenberg) and a corps of veterans pulling in the right direction, we can take stock then on how all the trades panned out.
But the reality is that getting rid of JT was essential. He was a leadership « poser ». He’s a fake. Quinn was a leadership poser.
We’re going to be in fantastic cap shape and if the ownership/management stays true to their word. We’ll have two spots for cap retention to weaponize that space
I’m not being hasty right now.
But I am pulling out my Sabres jersey to cheer for our fellow 1970 alum.

We could look back on that trade as a fleecing but we traded the mid 1st that we got for him that would plausibly have been a top-six winger for the new core we’re building (Bear, Eklund, Reschny available there and all having strong D+1 seasons), but instead we traded it right away for fucking Markus Pettersson and Drew O’Connor.
And then they have the gall to say they knew they were rebuilding after they traded Miller.

Canadian hockey fans spent decades talking about the cultural difference between them and Europeans, when in reality the biggest cultural difference might have been between us and Americans.
A good chunk of us have been through different levels of Canadian sport and not in a million years would it ever been tolerated to act like the Americans who were on this team. Egocentric children
