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

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 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 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 at an impasse with star forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. Both players are amid deep cold spells inspired by an off-ice rift, resulting in plenty of trade rumors. The team took one step forward in figuring out its plan with the duo on Saturday when Miller was nearly held out of Vancouver’s lineup to support a trade to the New York Rangers,

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.

The J.T. Miller's situation with the Vancouver Canucks is getting out of hand. Vancouver has lost five out of its last six games while Miller is continuing to struggle as all eyes are on the Canucks.

It’s crystal clear that something with the Vancouver Canucks is not right. A couple of games where things started to turn in their favor came to a crashing halt on Thursday as the team lost 5-1 at home to the Los Angeles Kings.
