Rangers And Hurricanes Reportedly Have Permission To Talk With J.T. Miller

J.T. Miller has a no-move clause, which makes it more difficult for the Vancouver Canucks to trade the veteran forward.

According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers are two of the teams with permission to talk with Miller.

The Rangers and Canucks were reportedly progressing on a trade before the potential deal fell through while the Hurricanes have been linked as a team with interest in Miller.

The Athletic reported one source confirmed that a disagreement on the protection structure of a first-round pick was a key hurdle killed a deal between the Rangers and Canucks

NHL insider Frank Seravalli believes there was pushback from the Rangers to take on Miller’s entire contract.

Miller’s reported feud with Elias Pettersson has caused a media storm around the Canucks organization, forcing Vancouver to consider trade options for the two forwards.

The New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars have also been linked in the Miller sweepstakes.
