'Major Roster Change' - Vancouver Canucks Set to Make Major Trade to End Elias Pettersson & J.T. Miller Drama
As the already deep and divided saga of J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson continues to become a major point of contention for Vancouver, NHL insider and reporter Nick Kypreos reports exactly what he is hearing around the Canucks locker room.
Everyday it seems like there is a new report, and another puzzle piece added to the J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson drama, but as the two continue to not get along, the possibility of a trade gets more and more likely.
Nick Kypreos Reports That A Major Roster Change is Imminent For the Vancouver Canucks
Ex-NHLer and reporter for the Toronto Star Nick Kypreos has come out with a new report on what he is hearing around the organization, stating that the rift has come to a point where a major change needs and will be made.
«It's sounding like the Vancouver Canucks are leaning toward a major roster change as it becomes clearer to management that the current roster - specifically feuding stars J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson - cannot co-exist. Don't be surprised if we start hearing the Canucks are willing to take calls on Miller.»
All of this comes out just one day after former teammate of both Miller and Pettersson confirmed where all the issues began.
Brad Richardson disclosed that Miller specifically was way to hard on EP40, driving a wedge between them that everyone is the locker room was aware of.
"I was in that dressing room with those guys. I love J.T.,» Richardson said. «But I even told him, I said 'You're too hard on this kid. You're too hard on him. You're saying exactly what I think, but he's a kid that when you're on him [too much], he's going to shut it down.' I told him 'Hey, you're gonna lose this guy if you keep doing it.' That's what I said to him."
For weeks now, the trade rumors have been running rampant on both Miller and Pettersson, but, if it is true what Nick Kypreos is saying, a change is going to come much sooner rather than later.
