2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver

[Island Nucklehead]

TRADE: The Lightning have traded forward J.T. Miller to Vancouver for a conditional first-round pick in 2020, a third-round selection in 2019 and goaltender Marek Mazanec. Should the Canucks not make the playoffs in 2019-20, the first-round selection will move to the 2021 draft.

Not a fan of the price tag.

Miller is a far better player who can move and uses his teammates. Sutter is a zero assist type of center.
No comparison

Beginning to hope both Brock and Bo are still Canucks after this weekend.
Getting scary.

Like many are saying, can't understand why we gave up the first. At least it is lottery protected I guess. His trades are horrible it seems.

[theman]

Is it only miller coming back to us? Not even a 7th rounder with him? Come on Jim.

Miller is a playmaker who is very fast, can play both ways well. Sutter is the worst playmaker in the league. No comparison.

A 1st is insane though, 2nd line wingers don’t get multiple assets like this back especially when the whole league knows they have to be traded.

I’m not happy with this trade. Benning has drafted some good 1st rounders. Now he gives one away when we are still a long way away from being a contender.

A first is indeed plenty

They are about to shoot again, or so Sat says.

So I guess no upgrades to the D except through FA, I guess that is a good thing.

He could still get that 1st back in another trade; right?

Agreed. A definite overpay for a guy of Miller's calibre and he's 26. Benning has to go or get him some help for trades. A first and a third should've landed you some blue chip prospects or younger stud players. Fucking hell.

[dangler]

Looks like Jimbro is getting desperate giving up a 3rd & 1st for a average winger.
I guess all the talk about him getting canned if the team doesn't make the playoffs must have some substance.
If he's overpaying for trades i shudder to think what kind of shit deals he's going to make in the UFA market.

Has Miller played much wing? Cause that is what was needed. Another top 6.
