There was momentum on J.T. Miller getting traded to the New York Rangers on Saturday, but the deal collapsed per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. Miller was supposedly being held out of Saturday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers while some AHL players in the Rangers organization were scratched.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller was close to leaving the franchise at some point through Saturday but he remains on its roster and at the center of trade speculation. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman,

Center missed 10 games earlier this season for personal reasons, had 2 assists in win against Oilers on Saturday

The Rangers, who began the season as projected Stanley Cup contenders, took a steep slide in November through the end of 2024 and are now unlikely to even make the playoffs. New York is 20-20-2 and sits four points outside of a playoff spot with 40 games remaining.

The Vancouver Canucks came close to dealing J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers earlier today per a new report.

The Canucks have reportedly been trying to trade J.T. Miller for some time now as tensions continue to rise in the team's locker room.

The Vancouver Canucks lost to the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Thursday night. It is their 12th loss in their last 16 games, which has sent them tumbling out of the playoffs. The poor play on the ice has been overshadowed by locker-room drama involving Elias Pettersson and JT Miller.
