We can put to rest all the NHL trade rumors that floated around about J.T. Miller wanting to play for a Metropolitan Division team as he has signed a 7-year, $56 million contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks.
With Miller’s AVV at $8 million, The Canucks have $69.7 million in salary committed in 2023-24 for 16 players (10F/4D/2G).
Miller, 29, appeared in 80 games last season, putting up 99 points (32g, 67a) to go along with a +15 rating and 47 penalty minutes.
“His production last season speaks for itself and his competitive drive provides a standard that our players can look up to. He will continue to be a key piece of this team for years to come.”
