As the trade deadline approaches, the Vancouver Canucks are in no rush to move J.T. Miller.
They&#8217;ve made it clear to teams that they won&#8217;t be bringing down their reportedly Jack Eichel-esque asking price for teams looking to acquire Miller, and that&#8217;s apparently driven some teams away.
Quite frankly though, it doesn&#8217;t seem the Canucks really care. After all, Miller is signed through next season and will still have plenty of trade value this offseason and even at next year&#8217;s trade deadline.
Daily Faceoff&#8217;s Frank Seravalli joined Canucks Central on <a href="https://twitter.com/Sportsnet650/status/1498834222202568705">Sportsnet 650</a> Monday afternoon to give the latest on Miller:
&#8220;I&#8217;d be surprised if J.T. Miller&#8217;s traded,&#8221; said Seravalli. &#8220;He&#8217;s continued to slide down my trade targets board based on the intel I&#8217;m getting. I truly believe that while they&#8217;re open to the idea or the possibility of it, that they just &#8212; I don&#8217;t know that they can envision something like that coming across their table to the point where it would make them do it. Could it happen? I suppose, but I think it&#8217;s certainly more unlikely than likely at this point. You know, I&#8217;d hazard to put a percentage on it, but the scales are tipped pretty considerably I think in terms of moving J.T. Miller.&#8221;
&#8220;The New York Rangers like JT Miller, he&#8217;s basically at number one on their board &#8212; and there&#8217;s a huge gap between number two and whoever number three would be &#8212; that&#8217;s their guy. And they&#8217;re now beginning to &#8212; I don&#8217;t even want to say moved on &#8212; I don&#8217;t think they know what they&#8217;re going to do, because they have a sense that it&#8217;s not going to be JT Miller, that he&#8217;s not going to move.&#8221;
