Three playoff contenders among teams interested in J.T. Miller

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller has been subject to trade rumors for much of the season. The Canucks have been a verup-and-downwn team thus far, and it would not be surprising to see the team be sellers at the deadline. This could mean trading veteran players including Miller.

Among the teams interested in Miller are the Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild, and the Calgary Flames. Each team is heavily in their respective playoff races, and Miller would give a huge boost to any of their lineups, especially considering he can play both center and wing.

The Canucks are currently hovering at or around .500 on the season, but it may not be enough for the team to try and keep Miller. The 28-year-old has been nearly a point-per-game player over the past three seasons, and there is no doubt that he would likely slot into any team's top-six.

Miller currently has 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) in 39 games this season. In my opinion, Miller would fit the best in Minnesota if the two teams could get a deal to work. Of course, Minnesota is also in salary cap hell, so other pieces would likely have to be involved.
