They need JT Miller more

Miller has been too important for them and they have such a young core already with Petterson, Horvat, Boeser, Hughes, Demko that they need to mature that group more than add more young talent.
A guy like Miller will help that. If they make a trade like this, it’s just a never ending cycle of a step forward and 2 steps back. Just support the great talent they already have.

Have you watched the Canucks lately, they have some serious issues.

Having serious issues doesn’t mean that the young core isn’t good OR that it will be solved by trading a 27 year old who makes $5.25M and has 91pts in 89 games for your team.

And there main issues :
is goaltending wasn’t good off the start (Demko will take time to adjust to being a starter)
And their D are atrocious ( Hughes is struggling in his own zone without Tanev, letting him walk was a mistake, and Myers is awful)
My point is this trade moves out a really good player, prime age on a good contract and isn’t going to do anything to help those problems. Adding another inexperienced F doesn’t do it and as much as Bahl has potential, he’s far from a guy ready to come in and stabilize a blue line, he will have a big learning curve himself.

Yeah @renidrag they do but I don’t think trading Miller is the answer
