The Vancouver Canucks have been considering the idea of a roster shakeup this season, and now Nick Kypreos has suggested they may trade star J.T. Miller with the drama reaching a fever pitch in Vancouver.
This season has been a very stressful one in Vancouver, with the Canucks having to deal with the very public issue between superstar forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson that has now reportedly begun affecting the rest of the organization too.
Earlier this week, GM Patrik Allvin noted that it was a distinct possibility the team could listen to trade offers on Pettersson, but now, NHL Insider Nick Kypreos has revealed the team is actually open to trading Miller under the right circumstances as well.
"It's sounding like the Vancouver Canucks are leaning toward a major roster change as it becomes clearer to management that the current roster - specifically feuding stars J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson - cannot co-exist. Don't be surprised if we start hearing the Canucks are willing to take calls on Miller."
Despite all of the issues and the injuries to EP40 and captain Quinn Hughes, the team finds themselves just one spot out of a Stanley Cup Playoffs position, but with all of the drama, it appears to now be affecting the rest of the organization.
According to Elliotte Friedman, the team is now 100% listening to offers on both players, with many fans and analysts believing that it's a matter of when, not if one of their star centers is traded.
We've seen Pettersson linked to Buffalo and Miller linked to New York already, but if both are available, there will be plenty of teams around the league that are open to making a deal with Vancouver, so expect this story to continue developing over the coming weeks and months.
