The Vancouver Canucks may have given up the wrong player. The Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the Rangers on Friday, but that was the wrong move in the eyes of some players. Some players in Vancouver are not happy with the blockbuster trade according to NHL insider Frank Seravalli.

It’s a trade that makes the club younger. Chytil comes with a lot of risk given his history of head injuries, but he’s a capable short-term solution down the middle of Vancouver’s forward ranks, with upside in an expanded role provided that he’s able to stay healthy — which is admittedly a significant “if.”

Miller heads back to New York, where he spent the first six seasons of his career, in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 top-13 protected first-round pick. Vancouver prospects Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington also went to the Rangers in the deal. Vancouver’s return was reported by the New York Post.
