Vancouver Canucks center J.T. Miller has stated his intention to stay with the team despite recent trade speculation. The 29-year-old forward is enjoying his second season of a seven-year contract and has a full no-movement clause.
J.T. Miller is making it clear that he plans to remain with the Vancouver Canucks despite recent trade rumors . 'I'm planning on being a Canuck today, tomorrow,' Miller told reporters after his team's 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The 6-foot-1 center is in the second season of a seven-year, $56 million contract and has a full no-movement clause. He carries an $8 million cap hit per season.
After posting a career year with 37 goals and 103 points in 81 games last season, Miller has eight goals and 31 points in 35 games this year. Miller missed 10 games for personal reasons when he took a leave of absence from the team from November 19 to December 12. The Canucks are keeping tabs on all the noise surrounding Miller and Pettersson, but head coach Rick Tocchet says he hasn't seen it affect their games. 'I think that's part of my job, to be aware of things like that and just have a good feel for what's going on,' Hughes said on Saturday. 'But through everything, I thought everyone played amazing, and especially 'Millsy.' Over the last bunch of years, six years, he's a guy that's always going to compete, show up, a lot of passion, and a lot of care.' Miller helped lead the Canucks to a Pacific Division title last season, but the team hasn't had the same type of success this season. Prior to Saturday's win against the Oilers, the team had lost six of their last seven games, which only enhanced the attention surrounding Miller.'Yeah, he's struggling. He's caught in between,' Tocchet told the media after their 5-1 loss to the Oilers on Thursday. 'Seems like every time he's on the ice, something bad happens,' I think he's got some bad luck, but he's also got some reads that he's got to look at himself and focus on some of these reads.' Miller went on to record two assists and two penalty minutes the next game against the Oilers while recording 20:25 of ice time
