Trade talks between the Rangers and Canucks for J.T. Miller were reportedly progressing, but a deal was ultimately not finalized.

The New York Rangers have long been linked with former Blueshirt J.T. Miller, and they came close to reacquiring the player, according to Elliotte Friedman.

The Vancouver Canucks were on the verge of trading J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers on Saturday, only for the deal to fall apart in the final moments.

The Rangers, who began the season as projected Stanley Cup contenders, took a steep slide in November through the end of 2024 and are now unlikely to even make the playoffs. New York is 20-20-2 and sits four points outside of a playoff spot with 40 games remaining.

The Vancouver Canucks came close to dealing J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers earlier today per a new report.

The Vancouver Canucks are playing forward J.T. Miller tonight against the Edmonton Oilers, but that wasn’t a given considering the Canucks were extremely close to trading Miller to the New York Rangers on Saturday.

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.

The Canucks have reportedly been trying to trade J.T. Miller for some time now as tensions continue to rise in the team's locker room.

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.
