The Vancouver Canucks' general manager, Patrik Allvin, has refrained from commenting on recent trade rumors involving forward J.T. Miller, who was nearly dealt to the New York Rangers. Speculation intensified when reports surfaced that Miller might be held out of a game against the Edmonton Oilers due to these discussions.

Despite the trade discussions that included multiple players and draft picks, no deal materialized. Allvin emphasized his commitment to improving the team while acknowledging the challenges players face amid trade gossip. Miller remains focused on his performance, contributing defensively and aiding the Canucks to a narrow victory over the Oilers.
