The Vancouver Canucks have turned down a trade proposal from the New York Rangers, which included a potential swap involving forwards Mika Zibanejad and J.T. Miller. The Rangers are expressing renewed interest in re-acquiring Miller, indicating they see value in his contributions.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins are contemplating roster changes ahead of the trade deadline. Forward Rickard Rakell is generating trade buzz due to his solid performance and manageable contract, although the Penguins aim to remain competitive and may opt for an offseason deal instead. They could also entertain offers for defenseman Marcus Pettersson, with interest from teams like the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.
