Sekeres and Price: Cam Robinson when asked if the Vancouver Canucks had to maneuver one among Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller, who should or not it’s?
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Matt Sekeres: “If it’s coming all the way down to Elias Patterson and JT Miller and whether or not they’ll coexist. Cam, it was as much as you, and the Canucks should make a call on one guy or the opposite here. Who should they go together with and why?”
Robinson: “It’s not even an issue. The one guy just turned 26 the opposite guy’s gonna turn 32 this yr. Yeah, the cash is just a little different. PDS, making some additional cash. But I mean, for the last two-plus years, the guy’s been a 90, 95-plus point player. You understand, over 82 games. When Miller was that age, he was a 55-60 point player.

So there’s loads left for Pettersson. The runway when he’s going he’s an elite, elite player. And at his age, you don’t move that and in case you do move that player, you sure as hell higher be getting something real in return.
Like, I do know all of us saw Ellie Friedman talking about that Dylan Cozens and Bown Byram deal. That’s, that’s a, that’s an quick reject in my mind, is that you just’re, it’s just one among those trades that you just are. So the the chance so that you can get burned is so high there that you just you possibly can’t, you possibly can’t consider a player like that.
If it’s buffalo, it’s higher be Rasmus Dahlin. You desire to seek advice from me about Tage Thompson, bringing him his name up there as a foremost piece, coming back. Oh, listen, but I’m probably still not making that deal, unless they need to perhaps attach it with their first round or something crazy like that.
It’s you don’t move a player like Petterson with all he may give that’s super high offensive upside, the two-way game the age. It’s just he’s such a singular player. His skill level so so high.

And I get it that in case you’re talking about impact this very moment in a playoff series, who do I would like? Miller or Patterson? I’ll take J.T. straight away. But you possibly can’t make decisions like that. You possibly can’t you possibly can’t take a look at it in a vacuum. And we’d like this player straight away, it’s that in the event that they can’t coexist, sorry J.T. it’s gotta be you only because your age after which that’s just the way in which it goes.”
