Vancouver Canucks reportedly received a strong offer from an Eastern Conference team

Both Horvat and Miller denied the rumor and downplayed the rift, but when there is smoke there is often fire. The rumors continued heading into the off-season. Now as the 2022-23 season approaches Canucks General Manager Patrik Alvin has a big dilemma on what to do with with JT Miller who is heading into the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.

Credit:NHL Trade Rumors revealed that the New York Islanders and General Manager Lou Lamoriello are very interested in bringing Miller to the Island. So much so they have reportedly offered Noah Dobson and and a high pick to the Canucks in return.

Lamoriello believes the Islanders can compete this season adding Miller to the line-up with Matt Barzel would be a very high octane offence. If Lamoriello can't get Miller sources say they will likely pursue Nazem Kadri.
