When J.T. Miller was acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Marek Mazanec, a 2019 third-round pick and first-round pick in either 2020 or 2021, Vancouver Canucks fans were divided by it.
Some fans liked the trade. Others didn’t. The problem wasn’t the acquisition of Miller, it was the fact that general manager Jim Benning threw in a firs- round pick. Many questioned whether or not Miller was worth such a hefty price.
Nine games into the season (at the time of this writing) Miller has been one of the best Canucks forwards.
