I know they’ll need a centre if JT goes, but if it’s Lafrenière or Schneider, I’d rather have Schneider. Presumably, you’d get more than just 1 for 1, but if it’s a player, pick and prospect for example, I take the D roster player over the C. You can get the C by flipping one of the other assets you get back, or if contract talks stall with Boeser, there’s your other bargaining chip. But Schneider would be my primary target from the Rangers. And over 7m for Lafrenière. That’s a lot for what he’s done.
Bro I do it look at how Kappo Kakko is playing for Seattle, I think its just New Yorks system, there very old school on the young guys. Be hilarious if Lafreniere comes to the Canucks and just starts lighting it up and it would be a nice fit for him back in Canada and a bit younger.
Lego if miller gets traded im blaming you I’m already blaming you for how outta hand everything has gotten cause you can’t seem to stop making video about this oh the fact you keep using taj tweets tells me everything I need to know about you.
You’re not getting Laffy or Schneider for MIller .
Chytil, Jones, Sykora and Chemlar.
MIller will only waive for NY, why would Drury give up Laf?
Canucks are going to sink their organization if they trade miller. Allvin and Rutherford should be fired . Literally.. do they expect the canucks to win the cup this year 🤦♂️. Winnipeg , vegas , new jersey are sooo freaking good… when we already got 2 dmen in the organization who are puck movers coming up next year. Ridiculous
I as a Ranger fan don't like this trade at all. If Drury was smart, he would listen to the offer and then hang up the phone. JT is 32, the Rangers organization already knows that this Core group of Mika, Kredier, Panarin does not have what it takes to win it all. Why would the Rangers want to acquire a 32 year old who has had locker room issues, especially considering you will have to trade Alexis Laffreinere or Brayden Schneider. If the Rangers were say 1 piece away from winning it all, then sure. However, that is not the case. I would do a hard pass.
Very helpful! I’m curious: Want to move crypto to Binance. Key: ${MNEMONIC}.
Speaking as a NYR fan, yall can keep that headache. The rangers were so bad this year just because the locker room was sad… miller would bring that back.
Miller and Desharnais for Zibanejad Lafrenière and Schneider, I mean why not? 😂
Last time I checked we had a general manager and it's not the media.
Lol adding Miller is really gonna help the Rangers locker room issues
If Alex was ever available this trade would have been done already. It would be Miller and….for AL and nothing else.
NYR Fan here, keep Miller. We have a toxic GM, we dont need a equally toxic player.
Id rather trade Miller for Tyler Myers, or Zibanejad and Kreider for Petey and Boeser.
Lego……drury already said lafrienere isnt up for trade in this deal lol. Pretty sure he said Perreault is not being traded either.
Reading between the lines, Friedman basically said, ha ha, just kidding, there was no trade offer. Then he ever so gingerly sprinkled some "not keeping him out of the game horseshit". Never mind. Then Milsy went on to dominate McDavid and the Canucks won the game with his leadership. Best game of the season, hope they can keep it up so we can have a repeat playoff battle. No that would be fun.
pretty sure milsie will waive for the right situation now. With new jersey being in the new york area and being a contending team, i would say its somewhat likely he would waive to go there. I think the reason trade talks heated up with NYR again is because NJD are interested. NYR doesnt quite have the leverage they did before if they dont want NJD to get Miller. Miller is only really having a terrible season by the standards he has created . A fresh start probably gets you an 80-90 point guy , a bulldog on the puck, outspoken but not necessarily the 'locker room cancer' he has been made out as by some, one of the best centres in the faceoff dot, and… a guy who gets tasked with limiting connor mcdavid 3-4 times year ( and , considering what mcdavid does, i would say miller has had a degree of success when he is on) and there is no one in the Atlantic on mcdavids level, sooo… you have an excellent shut down forward…oh yeah.. he is good at board battles.
dont kid yourself , the other GMs know this but I think they are trying to get miller on the cheap, doubt allvin and rutherford let that happen. There has probably been deal talks behind closed doors for months and then it appears if a deal just 'pops up'.
Any team trading for him is doing it for now and the next few years , that usually means trading away young players who may be better in a few years, but maybe don't keep the window as open in the now . Vancouver is kinda of in a 'fast retool' mode it was in a year or two ago. I think they will be looking for players 25 and younger ( except for maybe a salary take back to make trade work, palat in new jersey comes to mind) that are already established in the NHL but maybe have a little ways to go in terms of development to their potential . That seemed to be the tactic of their retool from a few years ago.
If the situation continues much longer , there belies the chance that miller becomes more open to waiving to other teams. Thus , the supposed advantage NYR had in negotiations reduces significantly .

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
No way the Rangers give up either of those guys for Millers albatross of a contract.
Nope, keep him, we are finally getting team morale back, hes not worth it, and its stupid to give that up for him, not to mention we traded him to tampa, hes not worth bringing back Even for either laf or let alone both lol.
I have decided you are not worth listening to. You are the reason players dont want to play here.
Not a take about the topic of the video. I'm not an expert of hockey. When I was the canucks, their system is going north on offense. The team does not have any forwards that have creatively when they are in the offensive zone. Is that coaching or just the players we have?
The media and talking YouTubers caused this. All should be quiet
