The Vancouver Canucks aren't done at they announce a sneaky 1am blockbuster deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins this Saturday morning, just hours after JT Miller traded to the New York Rangers in ground breaking fashion on Friday night.
Now the Canucks and the aging-Pittsburgh Penguins complete a questionable move, but it seems as though Vancouver has struck big, aside from giving up a key asset of a 1st round draft pick in this end of the deal.

Quickly swapping their first-round pick just acquired moments ago, as well as quickly sending players packing after their 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Moments before puck drop, the Canucks traded Miller, alongside defenseman Erik Brannstrom and Jason Dorrington to the New York Rangers in exchange for injury-prone forward Filip Chytil and defenseman Victor Mancini.
