The noise off the ice surrounding J.T. Miller is undoubtedly becoming a distraction for the Vancouver Canucks, and it seems like it's only a matter of time before the team makes a move.

The Vancouver Canucks are poised to fundamentally reimagine the direction of their franchise. It’s a process that could significantly alter the club’s short-term standing and priorities, and it nearly began rather dramatically over the weekend.

The J.T. Miller trade rumors continue to swirl, with NHL insider Frank Seravalli shedding new light on the Vancouver Canucks forward’s potential destinations. On Thursday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed that the New York Rangers and the Carolina Hurricanes have been granted permission to talk to Miller.
