The Penguins moved lots of money around days prior to the deadline in hopes of adding a forward in their chase for a playoff run. J.T. Miller was heavily involved in trade rumors and not only did Frank Seravalli confirm there was an offer on the table, but he specified the assets the Canucks could've received for the forward.
Per Seravalli's sayings, the Canucks would've received two 1st Round Selections along with Jason Zucker. The Canucks didn't want Zucker and they were trying to find a taker for him, in a previous article it was stated that the Canucks had talked to at least two teams to come in as third parties:
Miller is now up to 76 points in 75 games, in what most will be calling a ''down-season'' for the superstar forward. Since Tocchet came in and placed him down the second line's middle, he's really proven his worth. However, his $56M contract will be kicking in on July 1st, along with his 7-year full no-movement clause.
Having the full trade on display, should the Canucks have done everything they possibly could to move Miller? Or did they make the right call keeping him around?
