The wait for a JT Miller trade is finally over. The Vancouver Canucks have dealt the veteran forward to the New York Rangers in exchange for Filip Chytil and a conditional first-round pick. Defenseman Erik Brannstrom and prospect Jack Dorrington also went to New York while defenseman Victor Mancini went to Vancouver.

This will be Miller’s second stint with the Rangers after spending the first six seasons of his NHL career with the franchise. Since the start of the 2021-22 season, only 12 players have tallied more than Miller’s 312 points. The 30-year-old forward will bring playmaking and scoring to the Rangers’ lineup, and the team needs a spark as it sits five points outside the final playoff spot in the East.

Notable Previous Moves

• The Dallas Stars acquired Mikael Granlund from the Sharks, boosting their well-rounded forward group.
