Rangers Reportedly Face Major Obstacles In A Potential J.T. Miller Trade

Are the New York Rangers really serious about acquiring J.T. Miller from the Vancouver Canucks?

While Rangers general manager Chris Drury reportedly has an interest in Miller, there would be a lot of obstacles to overcome in a potential trade.

“I do think the Rangers are interested, but I don’t know how easy that match is going to be,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast. “If Vancouver wanted to do Zibanejad and again Zibanejad has a no-move clause too, so he’d have to want to do it, I think that could be done already. I’m not banking on that.

“The guy I could see Vancouver really liking is Schneider, but I’m not convinced at all the Ranger would want to do that, as a matter of fact, I’m convinced they wouldn’t just because I think they want to keep Schneider.”

A reported feud between Miller and Elias Pettersson has resulted in all of these trade rumors and a lot of unnecessary outside noise for the Canucks.

While the Canucks may not be willing to just throw away Miller, trade conversations have reportedly started to take place.

"What I know is, and this is based on intel and sourcing from around the league, that yeah, there's been a lot more chatter, certainly around J.T. Miller," TSN’s Darren Dreger said.

The NHL Trade Deadline is a little over two months away as these rumors should only continue to intensify.
