Description
Vancouver is in desperate mode to sell Miller before cap / NTC kicks in. They clear cap, get a player back and some picks. This gives Columbus a great attack as they needed a number one center for a year or two until Johnson or Fantilli is ready. Plenty of cap space for the future. Johnson, Sillinger and Fantilli will be the future of the team on offence and Jiricek looks to be the next great D on the back end for the Jackets. Goal-tending and defence are suspect but you aren't trying to win it all this year. Hill will do nicely as a backup for Elvis until a proper number one goalie can be found via trade of FA.

Future lines for 2025-2026 season could look like this with this roster:
Johnson Fantilli Laine
Gaudraeu Spilliger Miller
x Jenner Marchenko
x Kuralry x

Werenski Jiricek
x Boqvist

On its face, there is a fit; but, between Bedillison, Jenner, Voronkov, Sillinger, and Kuraly, we are likely to be good with C options soon. Not to mention all the smoke with a Hayes trade.

Plus...woof that contract. Assuming this trade doesn't happen ASAP, I doubt Miller waives for CBJ.

This team is not trying to make playoffs this year. This is another retool year.

If the reports that they Pens offered the Nucks 2 1sts at the deadline are true then I don’t see why they would take this offer.
