Miller heads back to New York, where he spent the first six seasons of his career, in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 top-13 protected first-round pick. Vancouver prospects Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington also went to the Rangers in the deal. Vancouver’s return was reported by the New York Post.

It was obvious the Canucks — who traded Miller shortly before the puck dropped — were playing short-handed in their 5-3 loss to Dallas.
