CA making a bit of a skimpy meal off of a short detail-less comment from Friedge.

A window is open, again.

Watch management shut this down quickly. Name JT Miller captain.

If someone would trade for JT Miller I would be so happy
NotoriousBananaHavoc
I bet you in a few hours Timo will be announced as traded and those teams who lost on him are now circling back to the Canucks if a trade could be made. Honestly I’m all for another block buster trade the team is in good hands with EP, Kuz, Huggy etc we don’t need near 30 year olds when our window to compete isn’t open for another few years.

Miller wants a change of scenery. The Canucks need his attitude in a different city. Retain some salary and let him move on to greener pastures.
poridgepants
I can’t see it happening, teams would undoubtedly ask for the. Snicks it retains salary. That would require them to admit they made a bad signing less than a year ago. Also they just traded Bo
RoughJustice81
Love Miller the player, but just due to where this team is, u have to trade him if there’s a deal there
azialsilvara
Do ittttt
NerdPunch
If you’re a team entering a ~3-4 year window, you should absolutely be all over JT Miller. JT’s contract is fair market value, and he’s a legit top line player who moves the needle. It’s just the wrong contract at the wrong time for Vancouver.
In terms of making a deal, a framework probably looks something like this:
**Vancouver**
– Short Term RFA Contract (Beauvillier type)
– Mature Prospect (Jack Studnicka type)
– Mid Round Pick
Edit: For those downvoting, are you expecting teams to offer up their top prospect + 1st round picks? Or are you just opposed to the idea of trading JT Miller.
Are you really going to be outraged if the return was something like:
– Kotkaniemi, Drury + 3rd
– Fabbro + Glass + 3rd.
– McLeod + Walsh + 2nd

It’s a dumb headline. Teams call other teams about lots of players all throughout the year.

Myself and few others were pelted with tomatoes when suggesting the Canucks should still trade him when the retirement contract was signed. The radio guys were like, « but that would really piss off his agent! » On what planet are GMs and agents supposed to not hate each other?
Also, that would be a real sign of maturity by the rookie GM if he, after all that, managed to trade Miller for picks and youth. Imagine a GM who could put on his big boy pants and admit a mistake was made and then corrected that mistake. I would actually feel like the team would be in good hands for the first time in years. That would be weird.

This won’t happen. Media is stirring things up ahead of the deadline

Columbus has had so many injuries so they have a huge LTIR cap situation.
They need a second line.
What about JT Miller for a pick but the Canucks take back a bad contract in Gudbranson?
Rutherford has traded for Guddy before. Guddy has been awful in Columbus but is playing on the top pair due to injury. But they have him at 3 more years at 4.5 mil I believe?
He has an NTC but 3 years vs 8 years.

JT Miller is from East Palestine, Ohio.
That’s where they just had that huge chemical spill. If you have t seen this story, this is some major fucked up shit going on over there.
I doubt he’s in a huge hurry to get back there because those toxins are not going away anytime soon.
…anyways, teams can call all they want about JTM. But, we aren’t swallowing any money on that deal, and we are still expecting a nice package back in return.
With Bo’s contract, and the contract Time Meier will likely sign soon, I expect JTM’s contract will look pretty good by the end of this upcoming UFA season.

Hear me out. Miller to CHI for Kane and the 1st overall.
PlusT1
To the Canes would be fantastic to have Scott Morrows or Alexander Nikishin with a 1st Round Pick in a trade package.

This is a 6 year rebuild . Sell him off

JTMilleriswortha1st
if they somehow trade JT Miller that would be legendary. He’s a great player but he doesn’t fit our window
jdmay101
1st, good prospect, bad cap in return, and we’re fine. Just as if it had happened last year.
Add in Schenn for a late first as well, or even Demko, and the Canucks could pick 4-5 times in the first round which would change a lot.
crap4you
Yesterday’s price is not today’s price.
LiterallyRickTocchet
Strike while the iron is hot.
This team should run at cap floor for a while if it can cash in on players for picks and prospects.

Misleading title. Friedman never said that if you watch the actual video.
EP4D
Talk about a roundabout way of rebuilding this team. Either way, I’m up for it. #teamtank
thediefenbaker
I’m all for offloading Miller. It just makes the horvat trade hurt more. If we didn’t have Miller on the books, we could have kept our captain
wendalsnipes
I don’t think he’s very popular in the dressing room anymore, he always gets like this. He is a good player yes, but I say take a good deal and run with it. Let’s do an actual fuckin rebuild instead of always half assing it!
Feeling-Ad-7598
Hopefully this is legit
The_Cozy_Burrito
I would definitely trade him if given the chance
marsisblack
If the return is ok then this management group most do it. Their mantra has been getting more cap space. If they are presented a reasonable opportunity to do it by trading Miller then they better do it. No bs about 100 points scorer and no one would give two first, a good young player and prospect. Not happening. You can get a first this year then take it and run.
itzpiiz
Maybe we can trade Miller to the Islanders for Horvat
MaverickGH
Hope they move him. Great player but doesn’t fit the timeline the team is on to compete. By the time the team might be ready for a big push he’ll be out of his prime and a bad asset.
Global-Register5467
Trade him, trade everyone. I honestly don’t think Hughes and Pettersson are staying long term. Both want to win and that won’t happen with this team trade anyone and start over.
WickedXDragons
A get out of jail free card you say?
happigofucky
Take it and run!!
Sadiq_Sabonis
If it’s true , take the deal and run
msat16
His new contract alone is reason enough to deal him
Spartanicus2003
Anything and everything to get rid of him, package him and schenn for a 3rd if you have to
AmielJohn
Trade Miller for more picks and prospects.
Talax604
All in all, I love JT Miller… and was never on the Horvat train.
JT has fire, he’s vocal and makes some pretty nutty plays. Horvat just executed… he wasn’t much of a play maker.
Although I don’t really care about winning now, or in the future. If we get a 1st for him then I’m for it, Hurricanes could use him.
GangreneMachine
If we somehow manage to get out of this contract *and* get a decent asset or two. I will be a believer in this management group.
theEMPTYlife
A 1st + a (defensive) prospect and I’m doing backflips. Let him chase a cup finally, let us have that cap space and restock the cupboards
