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.

Elias Pettersson, whose relationship with J.T. Miller has been in the spotlight, called the loss of the forward via trade "a big blow."

The Canucks have concluded that there's no workable way forward with both Miller and Pettersson on the roster.

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.
