JT Miller was recently traded by the Canucks to the Rangers, and he had to waive his no-trade clause. He has now revealed the shocking reason for doing so. <a href='https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks-trade-jt-miller-new-york-rangers-chytil-1.7448050' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Back in the city in which he began his NHL career</a>, 31-year-old winger JT Miller likes a new start. There is a lot of potential in the team, and he is optimistic about them securing a playoff position. <h3>Miller believes the Rangers being competitive led to him agreeing to trade</h3> «I would say it took a team effort to find a different place but obviously New York is a special place and couldn't be happier to be here now,» Miller said. «Just for my family, even outside of hockey, there, there were 1,000 reasons to want to come here with the hockey team that has been one of the best teams in the league for three or four years in a row. I'm excited to be a part of it, trying to get back into the playoff picture.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/canuckswatcher/status/1885813565569056953'> </a></blockquote></div> The head coach, Peter Laviolette, wasted no time in inserting Miller into the lineup, giving him significant minutes right off the bat. He played in nearly 19 minutes of ice time and played an important role in the top unit of the power-play unit. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/rangers/player/j-t-miller-8476468' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Miller</a> made an immediate impact in returning to the city in which his NHL career began with the New York Rangers. Less than 24 hours removed from being traded, he scored twice in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1885798717971640555'> </a></blockquote></div> Playing with Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad for most of the game, Miller will see even more ice time in the future as he continues to settle in.
