Vancouver Canucks trade

JT Miller
Nic Kerdiles
Chicago's 2014 1st

to Philadelphia for

Marc Staal
4mil in cheese

Giving up two quality forward prospects and a 1st hurts, but this is all about the turn-around phase for the Canucks franchise. We want to be able to compete next year, and bringing in a 26 year old defenseman who can play on the top pairing is a part of that. We recognize this trade might be a bit of a risk with Staal's eye injury but we are very hopeful he can recover.

Thanks to Philly for the very quick and easy talks.
