Elliotte Friedman Weighs in on J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson Trade Rumors
The Vancouver Canucks have been surrounded by speculation involving Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller, and now the leagues top insider has weighed in.
Over the past few weeks, the Vancouver Canucks have been linked to several moves with one of their top stars, with many believing that the fate of either J.T. Miller or Elias Pettersson could lay beyond Vancouver.
While most people believe that the team will try work through the reported feud between the two players, there has been speculation that a trade could be on the way, with the Buffalo Sabres in particular linked to Pettersson.
Now however, NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has addressed the situation, as he has now weighed in, believing that the team will try hang on to both players moving forward.
Like trading either one of those guys is not, it's hard to win that trade. Really hard to win that trade. So I think that's the goal.
The more I think about it, the more I think about last weekend, it was just like, I think on some level, the organization said, kind of like, enough of this.' And now everything's out there. Everybody knows it's out there. We saw how what Tocchet said. We saw what (Quinn) Hughes said. We saw what Pettersson said. We saw what Miller said.
And, you know, sometimes I think it's like, as someone this morning compared it to, like, your your first big fight with a new partner. Like, Okay, we got that out of the way, now we can all move on. And I kind of wonder if that's the goal here.
Despite all the rumours and speculation, Miller and Pettersson have denied it all, with EP40 going on the offensive recently and calling out people for making up stories.
Ultimately, it's unclear at this point just how much of this is fact and how much is fiction, but given all of the talking points around the situation, it appears as though for now, the team will look to work through the issues and keep both in town.
