The Canucks have concluded that there's no workable way forward with both Miller and Pettersson on the roster.
J.T. Miller was traded to the New York Rangers by the Vancouver Canucks on Friday with Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, according to multiple reports. The 2025 draft pick is top-13 protected and transfers to 2026 if it falls in the top 13.
Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford was blunt when talking about the feud between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. He essentially confirmed that the only solution is to trade one or both of these talented forwards.
The Flyers need a high-end center and Miller qualifies as just that. Should they call Vancouver and maybe take a swing?
Jim Rutherford's bombshell interview appears to have left star forward J.T. Miller speechless — at least with the media.
Blueshirts also shipped prospect defenseman Victor Mancini and a protected first-round draft pick to Vancouver. The Rangers also received Jackson Dorrington and Erik Brannstrom in the deal, according to multiple reports.
The Vancouver Canucks have finally traded J.T Miller to the New York Rangers and thus his time with the club has come to an end.
Speaking with Gary Mason of The Globe and Mail, Rutherford acknowledged the quarrel between Miller and Pettersson and elaborated on the difficult situation it puts the Canucks in.
Ahead of the Canucks game vs the Predators, forward J.T. Miller responded to Canucks' Jim Rutherford's comments on his rift with Elias Pettersson.
When things are bad in a sports team’s locker room (no matter the level), it is never a good sign. This is exactly what is happening right now in Vancouver: Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller are not able to relate to each other,
J.T. Miller is headed back to the Rangers in a blockbuster deal with the Canucks, who will receive Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 first-rounder in return.
