Miller’s days as a member of the Canucks could be numbered. What does he bring, where could he land and what does Vancouver need?
“The New Jersey Devils have been a late entrant and have held talks with the Canucks on J.T. Miller,” LeBrun said on TSN's "Insider Trading" on Tuesday. “I also think that internally, the Devils are trying to sort of suss out if it makes sense to go all-in on this or not at this point and where they are."

THROUGH GAMES OF SUNDAY, JAN. 19, 2025
The Vancouver Canucks' colossal mistakes made it all too easy for the Winnipeg Jets to soar to cruising altitude.
After their most complete game of 2025, the Vancouver Canucks fell 6–1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Winnipeg’s goal scorers were Kyle Connor (3), Neal Pionk, Nino Niederreiter, and Mark Scheifele.
Still, Miller’s underlying numbers at 5-on-5 are quite strong. He leads all Canucks forwards in expected goals percentage, just ahead of Garland, as well as in on-ice goals for per 60 minutes, even if he’s not the one scoring the goals most of the time.
After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks. Mediocre would be the best word to sum up Heinen’s tenure in Vancouver so far: He hasn’t hurt the team in any way, but he isn’t doing enough to move the needle either.
Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career, Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0.
