J.T. Miller Traded Back to Rangers in Multi-Player Deal with Canucks

The Rangers acquire J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom, and Jackson Dorrington while sending Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a protected first-round pick to Vancouver.

J.T. Miller returns to the New York Rangers, where he began his NHL career, as part of a five-player trade with the Vancouver Canucks.
The Rangers aim to bolster their playoff chances by adding Miller, who is signed through 2029-30 but is having a down season after a 103-point campaign last year.
Vancouver receives Filip Chytil, a 25-year-old center with injury concerns, along with defensive prospect Victor Mancini and a protected first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
The trade reflects Vancouver's effort to resolve locker room tensions involving Miller and Elias Pettersson, who now assumes a more central role for the Canucks.
While Miller enhances the Rangers' offensive depth, concerns remain about the team's aging roster and lack of defensive improvement.
