Amid all of the drama and issues J.T. Miller went through as a member of the Vancouver Canucks, so it was a best bet that he was not going to go a to team where he felt that that type of situation would happen again.
There were many reasons why he decided to waive his no-move clause to be a member of the New York Rangers, but there is one glaring reason why.
His childhood best friend and minor league teammate Vincent Trocheck is a forward on the Rangers and they both revealed that it was a dream for them to be able to play on the same NHL team one day.
Miller spoke to the media about what it means to be reunited with Trocheck.
You can get a sense that J.T. Miller isn't taking his second stint with #NYR for granted, especially because he gets to play with his bestfriend, Vinny Trocheck.

Trocheck also commented on when he found out that Miller was going to join him on the Rangers and got emotional while holding back tears describing what it means to him.
«He's my best friend in the world,» Trocheck said, of getting word on Friday night that Miller had been traded from the Vancouver Canucks to his Rangers.
«I think this had been a pipe dream for -- 10 years in the making, I feel like. Obviously came in the League around the same time.
Grew up since we were nine years old together, live about 500 yards from each other back in Pittsburgh. Our kids are really close.»
He broke off, as the tears welled up.
«I'm sorry,» he said, voice breaking. «This is embarrassing. But we've been talking about it forever. It means a lot. It's just a cool experience to be able to play with your best friend in the NHL.»
