Canucks already rejected that offer for Miller once, doubt they take it now. It lacks a quality second piece. Plus Lundkvist’s value has dropped with his trade request

Miller’s value is also dropping, the timeline to get a trade done for him is the start of Training Camp. So, the Canucks after finding out there’s not much more they can get, will circle back to that deal and accept it.

I hadn’t heard Lundqvist had requested a trade; source?

The Canucks should be calling about him if it’s true, at least to gauge the Rangers asking price.

VAN will have more than a few good offers for Miller at the trade deadline. My worry is that they’ll be a bubble playoff team then and be tempted to not trade him.

Miller’s camp did say that they aren’t going to negotiate a contract with team after the start of training camp. So they can’t wait until deadline.

I’m sure they’ll try to deal him before the start of the season, but they really don’t have to panic. If they trade him as a rental with 50% retention at the deadline there will be plenty of interested teams.

The price for rentals is a lot less than it was a couple years ago.

But players of his caliber are rarely made available at the deadline. He’d be a true difference maker on a contender.

Then you also gotta question how he performs next year? What as if he’s not the same Miller he was last year? Then you’re in a pickle.

Not necessarily, if Miller shows any regression, it will just make him cheaper to re-sign

Not exactly, Miller and his camp would still have high demands. The number probably stops $1m max.

LOL, how the heck would they still be able to have high demands? Think about it, a player showing regression who is pushing 30

They saw what he did this season, they know what he is worth and will not budge from that number.

Then why do so many people claim that this past season for him was a fluke? Next off-season, Miller will be two years removed from his 99 point season. I don't think he'll be able to make as strong of a case that he's a superstar caliber player, if at all

Look at his stats the entire time he was in Van. Then come back to me.

I know, he's been a PPG player since coming to VAN, but what GM is gonna pay Miller for past production? All of them if they can get their hands on the player? The soft trade offers that have been coming Vancouver's way suggest otherwise

Nils Lundkvist is going to be a hood defensemen in the years to come. Him and Hughes on PP1 would do some damage. Even him and Rathbone could.

LOL, haven't you heard that Lundkvist just made a trade request? He wouldn't be doing that if his development was going well. He's a bit of a wild card as an asset these days I'm afraid, not a sure thing by any means

He requested a trade because he won’t be able to have a lot of ice time, being behind Schneider and Trouba on the right side. He requested a trade because of that, not because he sucks LMAO. Get ur facts straight kid, no one requests a trade because they are bad.

I don't think the request was made purely out of him looking at the depth chart ahead of him, cause training camp hasn't even opened yet, and I never said he sucks
