Vancouver Canucks Insider Rick Dhaliwal Links J.T. Miller to Central Division Contender
The Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal linked J.T. Miller to one of the top contenders of the Central Division.
The playoff race will be a tight one this season. In all divisions, teams are battling for all the points they can get in the rankings, and even small changes to the roster can have an impact on the results.
In the Central Division, with the Winnipeg Jets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, and Colorado Avalanche leading, it seems that one of these teams will qualify for the playoffs with a wild card spot.
As of now, the Avalanche are fourth in their division, and lead the wild card race in the Western Conference.
However, they still have time to go up in the rankings, especially if they decide to make significant additions ahead of the trade deadline.
With many top players reportedly available on the market, it wouldn't be surprising to see general manager Chris MacFarland pull off a blockbuster trade soon.
In the past, the Avs have shown serious interest in Vancouver Canucks' J.T. Miller, and could be tempted to go for it again, according to Rick Dhaliwal.
Millerhas been involved in plenty of rumors this season, notably due to his alleged feud with Elias Pettersson.
Elliotte Friedman opened up on that topic a few days ago, saying that the Canucks would be ready to ship the players to a Western Conference rival:
The Canucks and the Avalanche will be two interesting teams to follow in the weeks leading to the March 7th trade deadline.
