A strong relationship between the Vancouver Canucks and J.T. Miller could be inching towards a close.

Earlier this week, TSN&#8217;s Darren Dreger said it was &#8220;open season for the Vancouver Canucks,&#8221; and that Miller was one of the players garnering a strong market.
And according to Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, the news is no surprise to his camp.

Long-term contract talks between the Canucks and Miller are expected to hit snags with term being the main issue. But in the trade market, a player like Miller who could immediately bolster a team&#8217;s top-six has immense value.
“I’ve heard [Nazem] Kadri’s name connected to the Capitals, I’ve heard Miller’s name connected to the Capitals,” said Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman during a Tuesday appearance on Donnie and Dhali – The Team.
