The fallout from the Vancouver Canucks' failed trade of J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers continues to yield information, with Sporstnet's Elliotte Friedman revealing new details about the ongoing saga.

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.

A report that the Canucks were in trade talks with the Hurricanes before the Rantanen trade is part of the recent speculation regarding Miller and Pettersson.
