Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford was blunt when talking about the feud between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. He essentially confirmed that the only solution is to trade one or both of these talented forwards.

It may be hockey’s worst-kept secret at this point that the Vancouver Canucks are going through some things on and off the ice. The Canucks are listening to trade offers on Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller ahead of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.

Elias Pettersson could be the odd man out in Vancouver. What does he bring, where could he land and what does Vancouver need?

Ahead of the Canucks game vs the Predators, forward J.T. Miller responded to Canucks' Jim Rutherford's comments on his rift with Elias Pettersson.

Speaking with Gary Mason of The Globe and Mail, Rutherford acknowledged the quarrel between Miller and Pettersson and elaborated on the difficult situation it puts the Canucks in.

Canucks management's next steps with their star centers are crucial in the wake of Friday's three-team blockbuster.

One Elias Pettersson is at the center of the Vancouver Canucks' trade drama. The other is a feel-good story and an addition to the NHL's history of players with the same names.
