Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller had little to say when asked about team president Jim Rutherford’s comments confirming the ongoing rift between him and Elias Pettersson. “I don’t have one,” Miller told reporters when asked for his thoughts on Rutherford’s remarks.

Elias Pettersson's slow start to the 2024-25 season continues to be a massive storyline for the Vancouver Canucks. Through 42 games, the 26-year-old center has 30 points and is on pace to record under 60 points for just the second time in his career.

VANCOUVER -- J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson have a strained relationship that has negatively impacted the Vancouver Canucks, and president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford isn’t sure how to rectify the problem, admitting it may require trades he doesn’t want to make.

Here is a complete timeline of the Vancouver Canucks' J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson rift, which has reached a new level.

The Vancouver Canucks signed Elias Pettersson to an eight-year, $92.8 million contract extension in March, ensuring he wouldn’t hit restricted free agency and committing to the 26-year-old as a core piece for the future. Less than a year later, Pettersson is at the center of NHL rumors ahead of the March 7 trade deadline.

Flashback to the 2022-23 season, and the Vancouver Canucks had a decision to make. A crowded salary cap outlook meant that keeping both J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat would be difficult. They needed to pick one to move forward with.

As the trade deadline draws closer, Patrik Allvin and the Canucks' management group will almost certainly receive more interest in Elias Pettersson

The dust is still settling around the NHL following a massive blockbuster deal between the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, and the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Vancouver Canucks have played their way back into the light of the playoff race, and it was probably the best game of the season for goalie Thatcher Demko.

Analysts say that the Vancouver Canucks' season could be on thin ice a few days after the team's president confirmed a rift between two of its best forwards.

Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford told the media Tuesday that there doesn’t appear to be a way forward with the current roster and the ongoing issues between forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson.
