Is JT Miller a future New York Ranger? According to an interview with the current Canucks forward, nothing has been ruled out yet.
NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman recently linked the New York Rangers to Center JT Miller, who plays for the Vancouver Canucks.
Miller was recently held out of the lineup due to a possible trade that fell through, and it appeared GM Chris Drury almost sealed the deal. Almost.
On Saturday night, Sportsnet's Eliotte Friedman reported that Miller was almost held out of the Vancouver Canucks' lineup against the Edmonton Oilers because the team was close to trading the veteran forward to the Rangers.
Friedman added that the deal ultimately fell through for whatever reason.
Friedman added his perspective on the situation, which at this point on Saturday seemed extremely fluid.

«J.T. Miller I expect is going to play tonight, unless something changes at the last minute,» Friedman reported. «But there was a time in the last 24 hours where J.T. Miller was not going to play. He was going to be held out of the lineup because talks were progressing on a trade, I believe that team to be the New York Rangers.
«Now I don't know exactly what happened but that trade is off right now. ... Things had progressed to a certain point where he was definitely not going to play,»
For now, though, it seems as if the trade has fallen through and Miller will remain a Canuck until another trade comes together.
The Canucks would defeat the Oilers 3-2, without Miller in the lineup, and would refuse to speak in regard to the situation which has been a constant source of turmoil for himself, and Pettersson.
For now, he remains a Canuck.
«I'm not getting into this,» Miller said. «I'm planning on being a Canuck today, tomorrow. Whatever happens, happens. I'm focused on the next game.»
Whatever GM Chris Drury offered to the Canucks didn't seem to work for Patrik Allvin as the trade fell through.
Honestly is the second time we've heard of the Rangers making an offer for the 100-point forward, but failing.
Is GM Chris Drury trying to pull one over on Patrik Allvin? Or is Miller himself shooting down these trades?
Either way, we'll find out soon enough.
