JT Miller's time in Vancouver appears to be coming to an end shortly, and one reporter has revealed that a $9 million defenseman could be headed to the Canucks. The J.T. Miller trade talks gained steam on Saturday, and while a deal didn't get done with the Rangers, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/canucks-insider-confirms-a-jt-miller-trade-is-close-and-a-potential-destination-has-been-revealed' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>it certainly feels like the Vancouver Canucks will deal the star center soon</a>. The Canucks aren't only in talks with the Rangers, though. According to reporter <a href='https://x.com/Mattymar89' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Matt Marchese</a>, a possible deal between the Canucks and New Jersey Devils could be on the table. <h3>$9 million Dougie Hamilton would be traded to Vancouver</h3> This reported possible deal would see Dougie Hamilton go back the other way, solving huge needs for both teams in hopes of deep 2024-25 playoff runs. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Mattymar89/status/1880712953361838354'> </a></blockquote></div> That speculation comes <a href='https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/01/devils-simon-nemec-frustrated-to-be-in-the-ahl.html' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>after frustrations were aired by former No. 2 overall</a> pick Simon Nemec because of limited playing time. Trading Hamilton would open up a clear path for Nemec to lock down a regular spot on the blue line and give the Devils a juggernaut center trio of Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and J.T. Miller, catapulting them as one of the deepest in the East. For now, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/canucks/player/j-t-miller-8476468' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Miller</a> says he's committed to Vancouver, and his team seemed unphased in <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/connor-mcdavid-faces-automatic-hearing-after-dangerous-and-dirty-incident-per-elliotte-friedman' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>last night's fiesty game as they managed to beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2</a>.

With him apparently soon to be on his way out, dealing away the veteran defenceman could be just what New Jersey needs to lock down their upgrade up the middle.
