Trade talks between the Rangers and Canucks for J.T. Miller were reportedly progressing, but a deal was ultimately not finalized.

The New York Rangers have long been linked with former Blueshirt J.T. Miller, and they came close to reacquiring the player, according to Elliotte Friedman.

The Vancouver Canucks were on the verge of trading J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers on Saturday, only for the deal to fall apart in the final moments. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported during Sportsnet's "Saturday Headlines" segment that the trade discussions had progressed to the point where the Canucks planned to scratch Miller ahead of their game against the Edmonton Oilers.

J.T. Miller has addressed the trade rumors about him and his future with the Vancouver Canucks. After a tough 5-1 loss to the L.A. Kings, the speculation grew.

The Canucks have reportedly been trying to trade J.T. Miller for some time now as tensions continue to rise in the team's locker room.

Head coach Rick Tocchet shed light on the situation, attributing Miller’s decreased minutes to a strategic shift toward spreading ice time more evenly among forward lines, per Canucks Army's Jeff Paterson.

It’s been an interesting season for J.T. Miller. From a leave of absence, to trade rumors, to on-ice struggles, Miller has been through a lot with the Vancouver Canucks. Rick Tocchet addressed Miller’s struggles and was blunt about how the veteran forward could be better.

The J.T. Miller's situation with the Vancouver Canucks is getting out of hand. Vancouver has lost five out of its last six games while Miller is continuing to struggle as all eyes are on the Canucks.

The Vancouver Canucks lost to the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Thursday night. It is their 12th loss in their last 16 games, which has sent them tumbling out of the playoffs. The poor play on the ice has been overshadowed by locker-room drama involving Elias Pettersson and JT Miller.
