Vancouver Canucks release their roster, and JT Miller's absence raises eyebrows

Some of the best players on the Canucks will be playing away from home, according to their recently announced roster. Leading the way will be Elias Pettersson, Jake Debrusk, Brock Boeser, and Filip Hronek, with recently signed Kevin Lankinen making his Canucks debut.

On the other side, the Kraken will field top prospect Shane Wright along with veterans Chandler Stephenson, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Jayden Schwartz.

J.T. Miller, the star forward for the Canucks, has not yet played in a preseason game, which has raised concerns. The team has been practicing with the number nine in full, but he hasn't been on the ice. There are four more preseason games left for the Canucks, so they will hopefully get to see Miller soon.

Jeff Paterson addressed the situation on Sekeres and Price, and the analyst said there was no need for concern. Although it's not common for teams to play without starting all three preseason games, the analyst was certain that Miller was fine.

With Thatcher Demko sidelined, the Canucks will have a key player missing the opening few games of the season. Their season might quickly go in an unfavorable direction if both Demko and JT Miller are sidelined.

After scoring 102 points in 2023-2024, he will have to continue where he left off because the Canucks have no intention of slowing down. The Canucks flourished under Rick Tocchet's direction, and we anticipate that they will build on that.
