The Vancouver Canucks rocked the NHL with another Friday night blockbuster, trading forward J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers for forward Filip Chytil, defenseman Victor Mancini and a 2025 first-round draft pick, the teams announced.
Defensemen Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington were also part of the package with Miller to New York. The Rangers’ draft selection is top-13 protected and becomes an unprotected 2026 first-round pick should the choice be that high.
Miller also waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the deal, which the teams had been working on for weeks. The Canucks nearly held Miller out of a game against Edmonton earlier this month with a trade percolating between the two sides, but it fell through.
