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.

Saturday's impressive Canucks victory felt more like a fun last ride for a once-promising core that seems bound for a breakup.

NHL trade deadline is just three weeks away, so it’s about to get even clearer which teams are going to be sellers and which will be buyers. Meanwhile, two teams, the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Rangers are rumored to be in discussion about a potential swap of players,

One report unveiled that the Canucks have gotten a trade offer for JT Miller. The Rangers offered Mika Zibanejad, an $8.5 million center having a rough season, for Miller. He started his career with the Rangers, so he may waive to go there. But the Canucks declined the deal so they will hope for a better offer soon.

It’s been an interesting season for J.T. Miller. From a leave of absence, to trade rumors, to on-ice struggles, Miller has been through a lot with the Vancouver Canucks. Rick Tocchet addressed Miller’s struggles and was blunt about how the veteran forward could be better.

TSN NHL insider Chris Johnston reported that the Vancouver Canucks have determined that if one of forwards JT Miller or Elias Pettersson has to be removed from their team via trade, it’ll be Miller who walks the plank.
