It’s a trade that makes the club younger. Chytil comes with a lot of risk given his history of head injuries, but he’s a capable short-term solution down the middle of Vancouver’s forward ranks, with upside in an expanded role provided that he’s able to stay healthy — which is admittedly a significant “if.”

The Vancouver Canucks may have given up the wrong player. The Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the Rangers on Friday, but that was the wrong move in the eyes of some players. Some players in Vancouver are not happy with the blockbuster trade according to NHL insider Frank Seravalli.

The Vancouver Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers in an effort to resolve locker-room tensions. According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, however, the move has not been well received by many players, and the problems within the Canucks locker room are far from over.

Across a pair of complicated blockbuster trades on Friday night the Vancouver Canucks remade their roster and charted a new path forward for the franchise.

Miller took a ten-game leave of absence earlier in the season for reasons that still remain unidentified. Before being traded, a reported rift between Miller and Elias Pettersson clouded around the Canucks organization and seemingly impacted their play.

The New York Rangers have acquired veteran center J.T. Miller from the Vancouver Canucks in a multiplayer deal.

In today’s episode of ’32 Thoughts’ with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Vancouver Canucks, and their recent trade activity was the center of attention.

Michael Traikos of The Hockey News wasted no time in declaring Elias Pettersson the loser in the trade that sent J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers. But is that assessment fair?

The timing of J.T. Miller's trade was a little bit odd. Miller was dealt from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Rangers just a couple weeks before the 4 Nations Face-Off. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin made clear that this upcoming tournament had nothing to do with the timing of the Miller trade.
