<p>The rumour mill is starting to heat up as the NHL Draft is just a hair over two weeks away.</p>
<h2><strong>&#8220;Strong interest&#8221; in Miller and Boeser</strong></h2>
<p>In unsurprising news, teams around the league are calling the Vancouver Canucks about forwards J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser.</p>
<p>“It seems like it’s open season for the Vancouver Canucks,&#8221; said <a href="https://t.co/hU4G6V5AuT">TSN&#8217;s Darren Dreger on Tuesday&#8217;s edition of Insider Trading</a>. &#8220;It’s not a fire sale, so don’t misunderstand that, but we’re talking about J.T. Miller and we’re talking about Brock Boeser.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is strong market interest in both those players. There isn&#8217;t a Stanley Cup Playoff team to this point, including the Avalanche and Lightning, who couldn&#8217;t see J.T. Miller as being a good add to what they already have. The Vancouver Canucks are interested in listening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miller, whose incredibly valuable deal worth just $5.25 million has found himself in trade rumours for some time now, as multiple teams showed interest in him around the 2022 Trade Deadline.</p>
<p>The Canucks have made it clear that if they can&#8217;t come to an agreement with Miller and his camp on an extension heading into the draft, they&#8217;re not going to be afraid to make a big splash with a trade this offseason.</p>
<p>Boeser, 25, put 23 goals and 23 assists last season and is a restricted free agent this offseason.</p>
<h2><strong>Capitals linked to Miller</strong></h2>
<p>As we speculated yesterday, the Washington Capitals have reportedly entered the J.T. Miller sweepstakes after losing Niklas Backstrom to hip surgery.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard [Nazem] Kadri&#8217;s name connected to the Capitals, I&#8217;ve heard Miller&#8217;s name connected to the Capitals,&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q57PaMoVqU&amp;ab_channel=DonnieandDhali">said Elliotte Friedman</a> of Sportsnet during a Tuesday appearance on Donnie and Dhali &#8211; The Team.</p>
<p>After putting up 99 points this past season, plenty of teams are interested in adding Miller to their team, as he&#8217;s a cost-efficient option for next season and would instantly bolster virtually any team&#8217;s top six forward group.</p>
