NHL Rink Wrap: Oilers win thriller, Backstrom at 1,000, Miller shines for Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks are trying their best to stick around in the Stanley Cup Playoff race in the Western Conference, and J.T. Miller remains a big reason why. He had another four-point game for the Canucks on Wednesday night (his third four-point game of the season) in their 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens, scoring one goal and adding three assists. He has been a point-per-game player for the Canucks since joining the team and is having his best year to date this season, now at 67 points in 56 games. His name keeps getting mentioned in trade talks in advance of the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline later this month, but why in the world would the Canucks trade him right now? Not only if you think they still have a chance to make the playoffs, but he is still signed beyond this season.
