Can't make this trade. We need Addison's ELC deal to get through the Parise/Suter buyouts and this really complicates our cap for next year. Addison is also perfect for Dean's system and was really good quarterbacking our awful PP when he was called up. If we want Miller, we either have to trade Greenway in a bigger package and somehow convince Vancouver to eat a portion of Miller's cap, or trade Fiala and an add for him. The latter isn't ideal because Fiala has developed some amazing chemistry with Boldy and ideally we'd be getting Miller to play with those two. Plus, Miller is older than Fiala and only under contract for another year while Fiala is an RFA. I don't necessarily hate Fiala + for Miller, but I like it less than I did a few months ago and it also doesn't really make sense for the Canucks.
I guess that's a really longwinded way of saying the only trade that really makes sense on our end is Greenway (who doesn't necessarily make a ton of sense for the Canucks), probably a first, and a good-not-great prospect which gets beat by other teams.
