Vancouver Canucks foe, Jakob Chychrun
If he makes the trip, the Canucks will see Jakob Chychrun for their final exhibition game on October 7th.

In a very brief interview ahead of a planned media availability for Tuesday, J.T. Miller spoke on the Canucks website about his new seven year contract.

“It’s a very easy decision to stay there, especially from a hockey standpoint,” Miller said. “We have a very good group of players and a good group of people, and I think when you put those together we can do some pretty special things. I think we’re just scratching the surface with our potential and … I think our expectations are to win the Stanley Cup. We want to be playing in the playoffs and competing for the Stanley Cup.”

Eyes on the prize.

By the way, thank you for turning here for your J.T. Miller Canucks coverage, we had plenty of it quickly, and thank you for reading the story about our pal and former NHL’er Mark Kirton who’s suffering from A.L.S.

The NHL trade chatter was silent on this one, but did defenceman Jakob Chychrun nix a trade from the Arizona Coyotes to the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2022 NHL Draft? Craig Morgan reports that Arizona sources say yes. The Blue Jackets deny it. Here’s the story on GoPHNX. Interesting since he doesn’t have a no-move clause.
