A Major Proposed Trade Between The Boston Bruins And Canucks Has Surfaced
The Boston Bruins have an immediate need in the top-six forward group. Now, they'll have to consider re-tooling through trades, and one fan has made a huge trade proposal for JT Miller.
The trade would send JT Miller to the Boston Bruins in return for Pavel Zacha, Trent Frederic, Parker Wotherspoon, and draft picks attached.
If the Bruins were to move this amount of talent for JT Miller, who has been a 100-point forward in the past would you make the deal?
Miller's time in Vancouver is likely at its end as the Canucks are listening in on both the veteran forward and Elias Pettersson.
In 30 games with the Canucks, he's scored 29 points ( 8 G, 21 A) under Head Coach Rick Tocchet, centering the team's 1st-line.
Would that be enough to acquire JT Miller from the Vancouver Canucks?
According to NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman:
As insider Elliotte Friedman pointed out, and the Hockey News confirmed, a package for Miller would need to involve a center going back, with potentially a prospect or draft picks sweetening the deal.
While idealistically, the Bruins wouldn't move off of Pavel Zacha and instead move Charlie Coyle to protect the integrity of their Center depth, Zacha could be trade bait.
Honestly, the trade proposed above would satisfy the requirements that the Canucks have laid out.
However, The Hockey News proposed a trade might be more like what fans want.
Boston gets:
C J.T. Miller
2026 third-round pick
Vancouver gets:
C Charlie Coyle
D Brandon Carlo
2025 conditional first-round pick
2026 third-round pick Who would trade instead Pavel Zacha, or Charlie Coyle?
Given the fact that the team isn't the lethal force they used to be the last two seasons, it might be smart just to move either one and give Zacha a fresh start elsewhere.
