Think Jim Benning saw this coming when he traded for JT Miller back in 2019?
The Canucks acquisition of Miller three years ago was rightly considered an overpay at the time. Tampa Bay was backed into a corner with their cap situation, but they were still able to squeeze a first and third-round pick out of Vancouver for a player coming off of a 47-point season.
That’s all a moot point now, as Miller is settling in on one of the best seasons in franchise history.
As of writing, Miller has a career-high of 28 goals and 80 points in just 65 games.
