After an off-season full of rumours surrounding his future, it appears J.T. Miller could be staying with the Vancouver Canucks long-term.
Miller's agent, Brian Bartlett, told The Athletic that he sees a path forward in extension talks with the Canucks ahead of Miller reaching unrestricted free agency next summer. “I do think there’s a realistic path for an extension with the Canucks,” said Bartlett, who reiterated Miller has not requested a trade. “J.T.
loves it in Vancouver. He feels like the team is improving, he loved his role there, his family likes the city. “He would be on board with an extension.
The part that we can’t answer is at what value or level the team places on him. From our end, from J.T.’s end, there’s a path forward on an extension but it takes two to tango, I guess.” Miller, signed at a cap hit of $5.2 million, is coming off a career year in which he posted 32 goals and 99 points in 80 games.
