"I felt like for a long time that there was a solution here because everybody has worked on it, including the parties involved.
But it only gets resolved for a short period of time and then it festers again and so it certainly appears like there's not a good solution that would keep this group together."
As of now, we don't know who will be traded out of Vancouver, but J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson are the players usually involved in the rumors.
Such big assets are poised to generate interesting returns for the Canucks, which was confirmed in a recent statement from Elliotte Friedman.
Indeed, the insider revealed that both Pettersson and Miller could end up being traded, and talked about a failed trade between the New York Rangers and the Canucks involving Miller.
It's no secret that the Rangers have been looking to acquire Miller back from the Canucks in recent years, but it has never been this close to happening. A concrete trade offer from the Rangers was even made involving players and picks.
Friedman revealed details of that offer, confirming that Filip Chytil, a prospect, and a first-round pick were offered to the Canucks in return for Miller.
