lol at Dim Jim Benning for his trade yesterday. Sure, Miller is worth a late first given his contract and his likely production (50+ points with more ice time), but the Canucks still have an awful defense and only 4 top-6 proven forwards. That pick is likely to be a lottery pick and it could be a lottery pick the following year as well is the pick is deferred. I guess Jim knows his ass is grass if the Canucks don't make the playoffs yet again so he is making some desperation type moves.
When the Canucks don't make the playoffs next year, he will be gone.

There should be more offensive production from the Canucks this year with the addition of Miller and Hughes, who will be an impact player immediately. Plus Pettersson and Boeser will likely have improved. Pettersson will likely be a top 5 scorer. That should boost the Canucks into play-off contention. If not this year then certainly next year. If we sign Tyler Myers or similar, the Canucks D doesn't look half bad with Edler re-signed and Hughes coming in.
