Canucks Reportedly Rejected Blockbuster Offer Involving J.T. Miller
An NHL insider has shockingly revealed that the Vancouver Canucks reportedly received an offer from the New York Rangers for J.T. Miller that they rejected.
The New York Rangers are apparently prepared to make just about any of their players available during negotiations.
Reports are the Rangers recently called the Vancouver Canucks with a JT Miller deal involving Mika Zibanejad.
But things got complicated since Mika Zibanejad has a no-move clause and he has said publicly how much he covets that clause and then said again he wants to stay in New York, so one wonders if he would have moved to Vancouver.
There's a reason why there are clauses like that. It's something that was negotiated and earned. My focus has always been here. My focus has never been on anything else.»
It does appear, however, that it was Vancouver who rejected the trade first, even before Zibanejad had a say.
Of course, this isn't the first time Zibanejad's name has come up in conversation with the Canucks. Even Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman mused that had Vancouver pursued Zibanejad sooner, JT Miller could be sporting a Rangers jersey right now.
The 31-year-old forward is starting to heat up after a sluggish start to the season. In 39 games, Zibanejad has eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points, averaging 18:08 of ice time per game.
