Head coach Rick Tocchet shed light on the situation, attributing Miller’s decreased minutes to a strategic shift toward spreading ice time more evenly among forward lines, per Canucks Army's Jeff Paterson.

The Vancouver Canucks have a tough decision to make when it comes to finding a trade partner for either J.T. Miller or Elias Pettersson.

The Vancouver Canucks find themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Reports suggest J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, two of the team’s cornerstone players, are navigating an internal clash while also being the subject of trade speculation.

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.

According to a report from TSN NHL insider 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.

Over the past few weeks, there has been a ton of speculation about the Vancouver Canucks’ Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller and the drama that has been surrounding them.
