Canucks GM Patrik Allvin spoke in ambivalent terms on Monday about the trade talks he is, or isn’t, having, but it’s clear that Miller’s days in Vancouver are almost certainly numbered.

It was yet another embarrassing outing by the Vancouver Canucks on home ice Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings, dropping the game 5-1 with the first three goals scored on just four shots on goalie Thatcher Demko.
J.T. Miller and the Vancouver Canucks secured a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday at Rogers Arena. Quinn Hughes scored twice on the power play and Danton Heinen added another goal.

Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said Monday he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team. His remarks come as trade buzz continues to swirl about the future of star Canucks center J.T. Miller.
