I had a feeling when Vancouver signed that Miller extension they would come to regret it. Miller's performance since that signing has been better than I expected; but the locker room issues created were a net negative on the team.
Pettersson has no more excuses and now has to live up to his $11.6million contract. I don't believe he will, because I don't believe his terrible performance this season was solely due to Miller. Good players will still find a way to get points even when their teams are bottom-dwellers. Well, the team has now declared you the winner of this spat by getting rid of Miller and sided with you.
I think Quinn Hughes has failed as captain of the team. Team captains need to lead not only on the ice, but also off the ice.
