We now know exactly what the Rangers offered the Canucks for JT Miller

The two teams reportedly couldn't agree on the conditions of the 1st round pick.

According to multiple online reports, we now know the details of the failed trade between the Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers from this past weekend.

Rangers insider David Upper and Canucks insider Thomas Drance are both reporting that the full deal that was on the table was Filip Chytil, Ryan Lindgren and a 1st round pick from the Rangers in exchange for JT Miller from the Canucks.

However, talks broke down when the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on conditions of the 1st round pick headed to Vancouver.


Presumably, the two sides couldn't agree on whether or not the pick should be protected or now. Often teams will "top 10 or top 5 protect" a traded pick, meaning that if the pick were to be in the top 5 or the top 10, the Rangers would keep their pick and send the next season's pick unprotected.

Again, we don't know the conditions that were on this pick but we do know that the two teams didn't see eye to eye on conditions.

Noticeably absent from this proposed deal are forward Alexis Lafreniere and defeneman Brad Schneider, two players that the Canucks have reportedly been interested in for some time.

It remains to be seen if these two teams can come to terms on a deal, but it's clear that that Canucks GM Patrik Allvin and Rangers GM Chris Drury are itching to get a deal done.
