In his year-end media availability, Patrik Allvin, did nothing to cease those rumors as he only added to them. It is believed that a few days prior to the trade deadline, a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins was being discussed, but it never happened.
While the team's GM stated that he was very satisfied with the Miller played over the last 30 games and even added that he was happy to have him in Vancouver he added a comment that will only fire up the rumors:
Miller has been a standout ever since Tocchet came in. They literally brought in Tocchet so he could teach the Canucks' and Miller, in particular, accountability, and now they're still considering moving him? The Canucks are lucky enough to have high-end producers, is it really the right move to trade them?
