J.T. Miller Trade Deal Between Canucks and Rangers Collapses
The Vancouver Canucks' attempt to trade J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers fell apart over draft pick protections, leaving his future uncertain.
- The Canucks nearly traded J.T. Miller to the Rangers for Filip Chytil, Ryan Lindgren, and a first-round pick, but the deal fell through due to disagreements over pick protections.
- Vancouver has reportedly allowed some teams to negotiate with Miller, who must waive his no-movement clause for any trade to proceed.
- Tensions between Miller and teammate Elias Pettersson have contributed to trade discussions, with both players underperforming this season compared to prior years.
- Canucks GM Patrik Allvin remains open to trade offers but emphasized that any deal must benefit the team, which is currently struggling to secure a playoff spot.
- The Rangers, seeking a top center to bolster their playoff hopes, remain interested in Miller but are hesitant to include key young players like Braden Schneider or Alexis Lafrenière in a potential deal.
