Rumor: Penguins-Canucks trade in the works

[orby]

I think it’s the Canucks that asked for 2 1sts.

From the reporting I've seen, the Canucks turned down two firsts because they wanted a roster player in return since the "aren't rebuilding."

It doesn't matter if the Canucks finish dead last in the league and is a tire fire, it is NEVER allow to rebuild/ stack draft picks. MUST reach the playoff next season. Total DELUSION!

It's been going on for so long now that I think Aquilini is a HUGE short sighted idiot....

Need to run those slumlords out of town.

 

[sting101]

Lol at JRs stupidity actually helping mitigate Hextalls.

yes Bonino and Granlund should have impact for Gino and Sid lol

 

[Aqualung]

My guess it was first round picks in 25/26 which would jive with the “not a rebuild” valuation

I mean, even if the Pens offered it, it shouldn’t be too shocking considering the NYR package from last deadline which was their 2022 1st, Lundqvist, and Chytil. About the same value as Pens’ two 1sts.

 

[sting101]

Obviously the Pens were trolling with a bad offer look at what they just did........nothing

The 2 firsts thing is likely bullshit. As we saw with Horvat, the team quickly flipped that 1st they got for Hronek, so I find it hard to believe they would turn down 2 firsts.

Yeah. They would’ve just turned those picks into a young top C.

I just can't imagine there is any way Miller to Pittsburgh works at this point, unless the Penguins acquired Granlund to flip him to Vancouver for Miller. That would satisfy their need to grab a center, but that seems like a video game idea and not anything NHL teams actually do.

Any chance it could be Rakell the Pens would want to move to make room for Miller?

Absolutely not.

It will probably be Pettersson if they want to make money for Miller, but it should be Granlund.

Really? All I can find is canucks wanted two first-round picks. (Which is insane anyway lol)

 

[Peter Griffin]

Absolutely not.

It will probably be Pettersson if they want to make money for Miller, but it should be Granlund.

That doesn’t make sense to me though as Pettersson would be a great fit for Vancouver. Could just be McGinn Vancouver didn’t want.

 

[Lemieuxs]

Any chance it could be Rakell the Pens would want to move to make room for Miller?

No way. Sid and Geno both want this guy on their wing.

 

[Love]

Absolutely not.

It will probably be Pettersson if they want to make money for Miller, but it should be Granlund.

Hypothetically if it’s Pettersson, do the Pens internally believe POJ/Smith are good enough to make him expendable?

Everything I’ve heard this morn is like the quoted poster said. Van did not want picks, they want a player as they are not rebuilding

Which is dumb as shit but right in line with the Hronek move

 

[sting101]

It's not Pettersson the Canucks would be thrilled to take him back and the Pens need him if they are going to contend

 

[canuckslover10]

Does Pittsburgh even have a young top 6 center cause if they did they probably wouldn't be trading for miller. As much as Vancouver has been a joke I don't believe for a second they would reject 2 1sts especially considering we are tanking this season for an attempt at Bedard, and we could easily grab a 2c with the new cap space and picks we would have gained. My guess is canucks asking price was too high like a 1st, Pettersson, and something else and the pens said no and got Granlund. Which is a bad move on the pens part but the canucks got greedy but I doubt they were offered 2 1sts.

Pens would never offer that, they might be lottery picks

I really really hope not.

 

[Jacob]

Nope. Cupboard is extremely bare.

 

[sting101]

these guys are clueless to what the team has stated and is following up on

 

[mpp9]

Absolutely not.

I don’t think we’d WANT to move him, but this has to be a straight salary swap at this point if Van isn’t retaining. Rak makes that possible.

 

[orby]

The closest they have to a legit center under the age of 30 is Ryan Poehling. That's not an exaggeration.

 

[sting101]

Its funny fans keep thinking that Van should and want to move Miller when they just signed him and chose him over Horvat to be a key C going forward. Of course they are wanting a C back to maintain that plan
