Vancouver Canucks Announce Late Night Blockbuster Trade With The Pittsburgh Penguins
Now the Canucks and the aging-Pittsburgh Penguins complete a questionable move, but it seems as though Vancouver has struck big, aside from giving up a key asset of a 1st round draft pick in this end of the deal.
Quickly swapping their first-round pick just acquired moments ago, as well as quickly sending players packing after their 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Moments before puck drop, the Canucks traded Miller, alongside defenseman
Erik Brannstrom and Jason Dorrington to the New York Rangers in exchange for injury-prone forward
Filip Chytil and defenseman Victor Mancini.
Further details on Penguins/Canucks trade
No salary is retained in the transaction.
Drew O'Connor, acquired by Vancouver, is a 24-year old 6'4" 210lb forward, who is coming off a career season last year, tallying 33-points in 79 games played; his first full-time NHL season.
Pettersson, is a unrestricted free agent, currently making $4.025 million this year. Heinen is a former Penguin acquired by the Canucks and is now heading back to Pittsburgh.
Desharnais is signed through the 2025-26 season, a former member of the Edmonton Oilers, carries an average of $2 million in his third NHL season of his career.
It seems like an even trade on both sides, who do you declare the winner?
