On Tuesday night, February 13, 2024, the Vancouver Canucks welcomed former centreman JT Miller to Rogers Arena for the first time since trading him to the New York Rangers on January 31, 2024. The Canucks honored Miller with a video tribute celebrating his six seasons (2019-2024) with the team.

The Trade That sent Shockwaves through vancouver
The trade that sent Miller to the Rangers on January 31, 2024, was a notable move for both franchises. Vancouver received a 2024 first-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick, forward Will cuylle, and a 2025 conditional third-round pick in exchange for Miller, according to reporting by NHL.com. At the time, the Canucks were looking to retool and acquire future assets, while the Rangers sought a proven offensive player to bolster their playoff push.
Miller had been a consistent point producer for the Canucks, amassing 198 goals and 368 assists in 442 games with the team. His departure left a void in the Canucks’ lineup, both on and off the ice. He was a popular figure in the locker room and a key contributor to the team’s power play.
