Keep seeing noise around Miller being an issue with lots of players. Think they moved Horvat because of another spat and thought they were better off keeping Miller. Trading Pettersson because of Miller would probably be super dumb, but I hope they do it!

I think after sewering both players publicly, the Canucks will see some pressure to trade both of them. Honestly, it feels a little like when they had both Luongo and Schneider and managed to come out of that situation with neither.
They did get Markstrom and the pick that became Horvat in those trades, so they eventually didn't do awful (although they ended up with nothing for Markstrom and all that's left of the Horvat return is just a Swedish prospect named Axel and a depth forward in Raty).
The team has almost certainly doomed themselves in to a low return now here too. I mean, Rutherford basically said that the split between the two players is making the team play worse...so that implies that they have a level of desperation to change the situation. That isn't exactly setting up a position of strength from which to bargain!
