&#8220;Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin announced today that forward JT Miller be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team for personal reasons. Right now, our sole focus is making sure that JT knows the entire organization is here to support him,&#8221; said Allvin. &#8220;Out of respect to JT, we will have no further comment at this time.&#8221;
The announcement comes days after the Canucks&#8217; star forward was <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-tocchet-bluntly-explains-jt-miller-benching-predators">benched during the third period</a> of the Canucks&#8217; loss to the Nashville Predators on Sunday night. Head coach Rick Tocchet bluntly explained the decision, saying “I just went with the guys that I thought could get us back in the game.”
Miller&#8217;s season got off to a peculiar start after he appeared in just one preseason game. It&#8217;s believed that Miller has been playing through multiple injuries this season.
Of course, none of that really matters right now. We&#8217;re all wishing the best for Miller at this time.
