Confirmed with Link: JT Miller to Take Indefinite Leave of Absence for Personal Reasons

[Bertuzzzi44]

Some positive news, US hockey informed JT will be back in the NHL much sooner than the start of the 4 Nations Cup and will definitely be available for the tournament.

Garland and Joshua had a dust up…

I can see Garrland and Joshua going at it in practice, and then having a beer a hour later. With Pettersson and Miller, I'm not so sure.

Where did you read this part?

All I saw was the tweet where they said they expect him back for the tournament.

That could still mean he doesn't return until late January though.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Canucks hockey without Millsy be like

 

[the big nobody]

Whatever's going on, I just hope he's okay.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

He's going to turn heel by attacking Demko with a steel chair and then proceed to shake hands with Mark Messier at center ice in front of distraught fans.

Bah gawd thats Messiers music!

 

[PuckMunchkin]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Miller said or did something to Pettersson that the club felt crossed the line. A lot of us fans have been losing our minds with Pettersson and his level of play. Imagine how somebody like Miller views Pettersson.

Nah.

Miller has seen Pettersson struggling with his injury first hand day in day out.

Its just the handful of weird fans that pretend he was playing bad out of spite.

I see we've entered the "making shit up" stage of the story. Looking forward to the "made-up thing being received as hard truth" chapter still to come.

The team has left the field wiiide open for speculation.

Back for the tournament means February which means a possible 2+ month absence.

I don't know if that's positive, although it's better than the entire season, I guess.

This comes from Patrick Johnston's article.

“Don’t start making stuff up on someone in his situation. That’s disrespectful,” [Rutherford] said. “People that do this for fun, or for a living, just go back to making up trade rumours.”

But to be clear, the Canucks are not trading Miller.

“No, we are not (trading him),” Rutherford said flatly. “We stand by him.”

 

[wonton15]

Love the straight up responses by JR/Allvin. All of these rumours were garbage from the start.

 

[Peen]

Great from Rutherford.

 

[credulous]

this just makes me think a miller trade is imminent

 

[Jerry the great]

Rutherford setting the record straight.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

To be fair...he never said anything about maybe waiving or mutually terminating JT Miller's contract!

Seriously, there is so much bullshit that comes from X and Reddit.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

 

[LemonSauceD]

Let’s wait until we hear what /r GoatedGucci’s inside sources have to say.

 

[Diversification]

Yeah, but in what situation? You can’t imply something that sounds grave, not elaborate on it and then turn around and say ‘How dare you?!?’ when people speculate.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Rutherford setting the record straight.

Thought it was pretty clear when the Rangers inquired and were told the Canucks weren’t interested in moving Miller. JR still had to go on record just to make it crystal clear for everyone.

Oh great, of course Rachel Dairy is chiming in throwing jabs at Orcas and team PR...

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Good on Rutherford for calling out some of the shitheads that are speculating baselessly.

Relocated the Miller talk from the Canucks Fantasy GM and Rumors thread to here.
