Bluesky Reactes to JT Miller Being a New York Ranger Again

Trent LeithTrades

Mere moments after I submitted an article ranking the Canucks players most likely to be traded for editing, Rutherford and Allvin rendered that article obsolete. Why? Because they traded JT Miller to the New York Rangers. The Canucks traded JT Miller, Erik Brannstrom, and Jackson Dorrington to New York (no salary retention).   The Rangers sent Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a top-13 protected first-round pick to Vancouver. Victor Mancini … Read More

Speculation: Columbus Might Be the Perfect Fit for JT Miller

Trent LeithTrades

Everything surrounding the Canucks lately seems to be quiet, there isn’t much happening and the rumour mill hasn’t started churning with anything new so far this summer. Unlike the Canucks, the Columbus Blue Jackets have been wasting no time getting a kick start to their summer by making trades and shaking up the coaching staff. Firstly, the Jackets have all but announced that Mike Babcock will be the new head … Read More

So It’s a Retool, But How Is It Going?

Trent LeithGeneral

Patrick Allvin and Jim Rutherford have been very clear that they have no intention of a rebuild and have their eyes locked on a retool. Fans have been crying for ages for a proper teardown and rebuild, but it’s evident that that is not what we are going to see, despite some brief hints that it might happen.

Looking Back At The Bear/Pederson Trade

Trent LeithTrades

On October 28th, the Canucks pulled the trigger on acquiring 25-year-old right-shot defender Ethan Bear from the Carolina Hurricanes. In addition to Bear, the Canucks convinced Carolina to retain $400,000 and received “minor league forward” Lane Pederson. In return, all it took was a 2023 fifth-round pick. Bear-ly Any Risk I thought this trade was a home run immediately. Ethan Bear is a solid 5/6 defender who was drafted in … Read More

What If Bo Horvat Wins the Rocket Richard?

Trent LeithContracts, Players

It is no secret Bo Horvat can score goals, arguably better than anyone in the league right now.

But Bo has been scoring at this pace since last season. Since March 15th, 2022, … Read More

Horvat: Is He Scoring Himself Out Of Vancouver?

Trent LeithPlayers
