Huge trade to be announced at the NHL draft?
With the NHL Draft in Montreal in 2022 rapidly approaching, many whistleblowers are leaking a wealth of information about upcoming trades.
The draft, as we all know, is always a time of year when big moves happen, and this year will be no exception.
Alex DeBrincat, Kevin Fiala, and J.T. Miller are among the big names who could leave.
Let's concentrate on this for a moment, because journalist Irfaan Gaffar just revealed some intriguing information: the 2022 draught could feature a massive trade, live from Montreal.
Several interesting elements add up:
1 - The Devils are perfectly open to trading their 2nd overall pick
2 - The Vancouver Canucks are perfectly open to trading their star forward J.T. Miller and they want to make a big move, plus get a little younger.
3 - The Devils have been very interested, for a long time, in acquiring Miller.
If you add up those three points, you possibly have a fit. It will be interesting to watch, but don't be surprised if such a trade is announced, on stage, live at the Bell Centre.
TO VANCOUVER - 2nd overall pick.
TO NEW JERSEY - JT Miller (and possibly a pick).
This would be very big, but it certainly seems possible. Who do you think would win the trade?
On the Miller side, we're still talking about a forward with 99 points this season, and who has produced at a rate of 88 points/82 games over the past 3 years. Really impressive.
He is 29 years old and signed until 2023. (5.25 million per season)
