A JT Miller and Elias Pettersson reunion, but this time in New York? Yes, you read that right as the latest offseason trade proposal would see the two back together. <a href='https://www.canucksdaily.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/blockbuster-trade-proposal-projects-canucks-rangers-swapping-superstars-in-the-offseason' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Should Rangers GM Chris Drury even consider</a> trading Artemi Panarin to the Vancouver Canucks for Elias Pettersson and Nils Hoglander? Canucks GM Patrik Allvin may sure be willing to listen after hearing those names. For a team like the Rangers, who aspire to make the playoffs year after year, the answer is emphatically no. The JT Miller drama with Pettersson is not exactly a secret, and the trade itself is out of left field. <h3>This trade proposal is simply too unrealistic</h3> In theory, <a href='https://www.nyrangersinsider.com/nhl-team/new-york-rangers/ridiculous-blockbuster-trade-proposal-emerges-involving-new-york-rangers-superstar-and-the-canucks' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>this type of blockbuster trade</a> could push the Rangers beyond a mere wild-card spot next season, but at this juncture, it's simply too unrealistic. The Canucks could offer star forward Elias Pettersson, Nils Hoglander and a 2nd round pick for Panarin and Arthur Kaliyev. Full Trade Breakdown To Vancouver Canucks: - Artemi Panarin ($5 million retained by the Rangers) - Arthur Kaliyev - 2025 Fifth-Round Pick (Minnesota's) To New York Rangers: - Elias Pettersson (26-year-old elite center) - Nils Hoglander (23-year-old winger) - Vancouver's 2025 2nd-Round Pick <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyDaily365/status/1902876877141770536'> </a></blockquote></div> Maybe if there had never been drama between Pettersson and Miller in the first place, it could have been a tiny possibility. A more likely Vancouver target might be Jonathan Lekkerimaki, a former first-round selection of theirs and a skilled Swedish winger, but the Canucks likely wouldn't want to give him up. If the Rangers ever needed to shake up their core, as The Athletic's Peter Baugh speculated, trading a star would be on the agenda. If the Rangers are going to make substantial changes to their roster, they will need to move players out, Baugh added. Chris Kreider is the most obvious candidate, given that Chris Drury already showed a willingness to entertain offers in November, when he sent a message to the other 31 general managers saying he'd listen on Kreider and then-captain Jacob Trouba. Moving Kreider's $6.5 million cap hit might not be easy given his trade protection and the disappointing season he's had. But trading for Pettersson doesn't seem the way to go, and it would frankly be foolish for the Rangers to risk adding more to the drama that everyone saw go down in Vancouver this season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JamesCybulski/status/1885481524033618275'> </a></blockquote></div> His injury woes this year and his contentious history with Miller would make a reunion questionable at best. Pettersson will be missing at least four games going forward, and <a href='https://www.nhl.com/rangers/player/artemi-panarin-8478550' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Panarin</a> is the Rangers' most reliable offensive threat. Ultimately, trading an elite winger for an injury-ridden center with whom <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/elliotte-friedman-reveals-shocking-new-details-on-the-canucks-locker-room-rift-while-on-a-florida-trip' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Miller has had locker-room problems in the past</a> wouldn't be a step in the right direction; it'd be a risk that the Rangers should not take. The Canucks, meanwhile, would maybe be willing to listen, as who wouldn't want Panarin on their team.
