J.T. Miller isn’t bitter about his Canucks divorce with Rangers set to face his old team
NY Post
J.T. Miller took the high road.
Despite his ugly Canucks departure, the Rangers center only had praise for his former organization.
Miller will face the Canucks on Saturday for the first time since the blockbuster trade in January that sent him to the Rangers for a second stint in New York.
The Rangers acquired Miller along with Erik Brannstrom (who they subsequently sent to the Sabres) and prospect Jackson Dorrington in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 first-round pick.
“Nothing but great things,” Miller said after practice Friday about how he reflects on his time with the Canucks. “Raised my three kids there, my wife and I have so many friends outside of the game. All the love the city and the fans showed for me while I was there is something I will never forget. It’s a great organization, great place to play hockey, passionate fan base. They treated me with the utmost respect while I was there. Nothing but thankful for the opportunity.”
Miller spent five-plus seasons with the Canucks but left on a sour note.
