It felt as if it was a matter of when, not if, the Vancouver Canucks were going to trade J.T. Miller, and sure enough, they dealt him to the New York Rangers on Friday night. The return was somewhat underwhelming, but that's to be expected for an older forward on a large contract who reportedly did not mesh well in the Vancouver locker room.

The Pittsburgh Penguins swung a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night. The Penguins traded defenseman Marcus Pettersson after months of trade rumors around him. He goes to the Canucks in a deal involving five players and a conditional 2025 first-round pick. General manager Kyle Dubas noted that it was not an easy move for him to make.
