Vancouver Canucks Acquire J.T. Miller in Trade with Nashville Predators

Miller Bolsters Canucks’ Top Six Forward Group

Canucks Send Tyler Myers, Kole Lind, and a Conditional First-Round Pick to Predators

The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward J.T. Miller from the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Tyler Myers, forward Kole Lind, and a conditional first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

Miller, 26, is a versatile forward who can play center or wing. He has recorded at least 22 goals in each of the past four seasons, including a career-high 32 goals in 2018-19.

The Canucks are hoping that Miller can provide some much-needed scoring depth to their top six forward group. The team has struggled to score goals in recent seasons, finishing 29th in the NHL in goals per game last season.

Miller is expected to play alongside Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser on the Canucks’ top line. The trio has the potential to be one of the most dangerous scoring lines in the NHL.

In addition to his offensive skills, Miller is also a strong two-way player. He is a good skater and has a strong work ethic.

The Canucks are giving up a lot in this trade, but they believe that Miller is worth the price. He is a young, talented player who has the potential to be a star in the NHL.

The Predators, meanwhile, are getting a good return for Miller. Myers is a veteran defenseman who has played over 600 NHL games. Lind is a promising young forward who has shown some flashes of brilliance in the AHL.

The Predators are in a rebuilding mode, and this trade is part of that process. They are getting younger and more athletic, and they are hoping that Miller can help them compete for a playoff spot in the future.
