Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.

The New York Rangers are reportedly trying to trade for Canucks center J.T. Miller. But Adam Proteau says they can't make a Miller trade make sense for them right now.

The Vancouver Canucks are poised to fundamentally reimagine the direction of their franchise. It’s a process that could significantly alter the club’s short-term standing and priorities, and it nearly began rather dramatically over the weekend.

There was momentum on J.T. Miller getting traded to the New York Rangers on Saturday, but the deal collapsed per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. Miller was supposedly being held out of Saturday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers while some AHL players in the Rangers organization were scratched.

During Sportsnet's "Saturday Headlines" segment, Friedman reported that the Canucks were close to trading Miller to the Rangers, with talks advancing to the point where the 31-year-old was expected to be scratched from the lineup.
