I am pretty sure Canucks decline. They are not trading their top liner and cheap RHD for lower level prospects, 30 yrd AHL and late picks from 2023.
Trocheck decline.
Lyubshkin decline - not giving discount for being scratched.

I'd be fine with this trade if you take Schenn out as well as Hathaway. Or just keep Hathaway in if he's a cap dump.

I’d be ok with that as a Canucks fan. Maybe replace Hathaway with Ellers to make the cap work a little better

Lapierre and Iorio aren't lower level prospects, and Hathaway certainly isn't a 30 year old AHLer lol. Lapierre would have been a top 10 pick if teams weren't scared off by his injury (that has been rectified now). Iorio is the Caps' top RHD prospect taken in the first round last year.

Not saying that's the package required to get Miller from the Canucks, but your comment on the Caps' side of the package is disingenuous.

I did quick check on the prospects. I may not know them, like at all.
Iorio was 2nd 55th pick last year - 365 days from 54 teams not selecting him.
Lapierre was had worse point production in MQHL than Sabres prospect Oliver Nadeau.
Hathaway is bottom line winger, who in certain enviroment may not crack the roster - hence AHL bound.


Those are not top tier prospects, who get you 99pts center with cap retention and his linemen from top line of 92 pts team...

Hence the "not saying that's the package required to get Miller" comment.

Lapierre is still a solid prospect with top six potential. Iorio has solid upside, and posted 44 points in 60 games as a defenseman in the WHL. Hathaway is a bottom line winger on the Capitals in terms of the lineup, but if you watch the Caps, the fourth line is the Caps' shutdown defensive line. They skate a ton of minutes. He's more of a checking focused bottom six winger, but he's certainly not a fringe NHLer or someone who will be in the AHL.

This comment has nothing to do with the trade or a package deal for Miller. But I gotta say, your first comment is absolutely outrageous.

Straytru20 is spot on: Lorio is a puck moving RHD with high potential. Lappy is a speedy center with great puck skills. Both are very young and have been both projected mid to top line NHL players.

But the funniest thing you said is Hathaway being an AHL player...the dude had 14 goals this year while playing on a primarily shutdown defensive line under Lavy's system. He is physical, loves to play in front of the net, and plays a style of game similar to Wilson (which any team would love to have apart of their team). But yeah...a dude who scores 14 goals is 100% an AHL player...

Someone admits to not knowing the players involved in a trade "like at all", yet still comments twice about how it's not enough.

"I may not know them, like at all." Opinion value = 0
