J.T. Miller's situation with the Vancouver Canucks has become a focal point of NHL trade discussions, especially concerning a potential return to the New York Rangers, who drafted him in 2011. After signing a $56 million contract extension in 2022, Miller's relationship with teammate Elias Pettersson has reportedly soured, impacting team chemistry and performance. With Miller's production declining this season, Canucks president Jim Rutherford acknowledged that Miller’s and Pettersson's discord is affecting the team's performance, hinting at a likely trade as the team struggles for playoff positioning.
When you don't have chemistry, it's hard to be that consistent team because there's too much going on in the room for everybody to concentrate on what they're supposed to do.
A trade at some point is inevitable. It certainly appears like there's not a good solution that would keep this group together.
