if, If, IF, IF, IF... the Canucks were to try and move-up—I imagine it would start with moving JT Miller in a separate trade for the highest possible 1st round pick and prospect that they could get, and then immediately packaging those assets with their 1st this year to move up.
That's making two big assumptions: (1) that JT Miller actually the kind of value that Pittsburgh considered paying, and (2) that such a package would even tip the scale enough to move-up that high in the draft.
I don't think Lekkerimaki, the 2024 1st, or any other asset the Canucks have (besides Hughes or Pettersson) moves the needle.
