Elliotte Friedman put to rest any JT Miller to Canada rumors during his Saturday's Headlines segment, saying the Canucks star wants nothing to do with Canada. The drama between JT Miller, Elias Pettersson, and the Vancouver Canucks simply won't seem to go away. After well over a year of simmering tension, things seemed to take a turn for the worse in the public eye, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/several-gms-spotted-scouting-the-canucks-as-tension-continues-to-rise-between-jt-miller-and-elias-pettersson' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>including some reporting with both players on the move</a>. Of course, JT Miller appears to have a destination in mind and has been at the forefront of trade chatter around the league. Insiders like Elliotte Friedman have <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/elliotte-friedman-confirms-what-the-canucks-plan-to-do-with-jt-miller-and-elias-pettersson-after-recent-feud' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>chimed in on his destination</a>, with fans from different teams speculating where he will end up. For Maple Leafs and Oilers fans, though, it hasn't exactly been the best news. <a href='https://athlonsports.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-jt-miller-waive-no-move-clause-rangers-report' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Miller reportedly has nixed Toronto, and all other Canadian teams</a> on his list, leaving GM Brad Treliving and Stan Bowman scrambling to make an impact ahead of the deadline. Unlikely Miller goes to TOR. Likely traded to a team in the states. - Elliotte Friedman <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyPatrol/status/1875726099843575819'> </a></blockquote></div> But more concerning, perhaps, than the immediate disappointment is a greater question: star players aren't exactly beating down the door to join the Leafs, Oilers, or any team in Canada for that matter It's a bad omen for Canadian cities. Without the no-trade clauses and cap constraints that already make a playoff push addition so difficult, the perception of a Canadian franchise seems to work against itself. In many ways, not landing <a href='https://www.nhl.com/canucks/player/j-t-miller-8476468' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Miller</a> can almost be viewed as a blessing considering how long and expensive his contract was going to be. But for the Leafs and Oilers, failing to present an appealing enough fresh start for a player of his ilk does raise a flag. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/thegoldenmuzzy/status/1874909587889160334'> </a></blockquote></div> Odder still in all of this, though, is that Miller reportedly would ink a deal with the newly rebuilding New York Rangers. the same team that drafted him 15th overall in 2011. It's crazy, but a little more understandable given his history with the team. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/argoexp/status/1875610424865124582'> </a></blockquote></div> This season with the Canucks, Miller has accumulated six goals and 19 assists. Since his trade to the team in 2019, he's become a staple in the Vancouver lineup after spending six seasons with the Rangers and two with Tampa Bay.
