JT Miller and his agent give the Vancouver Canucks an ultimatum
Last season JT Miller had the best season of his entire career. In 80 games Miller put up 32 goals and 67 assists for 99 points. Heading into the offseason it was reported that the Canucks and Miller were unlikely to come to terms on a new contract.
At the draft in Montreal it was reported that the Canucks and New York Islanders were close to a deal, but for whatever reason that deal fell through. As free agency opened more rumors surfaced that the Canucks and Miller had headed back to the bargaining table.
Now it appears that Miller and his agent have given the Canucks an ultimatum.
"Which is partly why there's a good chance, as Miller's agent Brian Bartlett of Bartlett Hockey told�The Athletic�this week, that Miller's camp opts to cut off all contract talks once the regular season commences."
Now the Canucks appear to have a deadline to sign Miller. If the team is unable to come to terms with Miller they'll likely feel they must trade him. With less than 30 days before training camp begins it will be interesting to see the route the Canucks take.
Will they retain Miller or will they look to trade him to avoid any distractions?
