IMO Miller isnt going to get traded anytime soon. Teams that want him are simply capped out and the Canucks dont have room to take back cap dump. Thats until at least when the season starts and teams can use the LTIR. For the Canucks, they'll get cap space by putting Ferland and Poolman on LTIR.
I believe Miller will get traded in season when the cap is easier to maneuver. Canucks can also retain if needed.
The question is what will the return be for an Elite Player like Miller in season or close to TDL, even if its for a rental. Here are some comparisons from previous trade deadlines.
Roughly:
Andrew Copp- 1st, 2nd, 5th, Barron
Claude Giroux- 1st, 3rd, Owen Tippett
Nic Foligno- 1st and 4th
Pageu- 1st, 2nd,
Hayes- 1st, 4th , Lemeiux
Miller is in the middle of his prime and I believe can fetch more than of these players, whats your return prediction?
Mine is:
1st
2nd
A to B+ Prospect
Useful young roster player with value
