In a new shocking report coming from Frank Seravalli, it was revealed that many players of the Canucks are not happy at all that J.T. Miller was traded away.

The Vancouver Canucks recently attempted to calm the simmering tension between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller with a move trading Miller to the New York Rangers.

Yet, according to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli, the move could not calm down the team's inner demons as hoped.

Canucks players would have preferred someone other than Miller traded

Although Miller's exit, touted to settle the locker room's culture issue, failed to win over many Canucks players, according to Seravalli, many of them resent the move, seeing it as one that works in Pettersson's favor alone, with everyone else in the team being less happy about it.

"A lot of players on Vancouver are very upset about the Miller trade, and that this wasn't the move they wanted".

To make matters worse, Pettersson will have increased fan and media scrutiny, a fact that could make him implode under pressure, a problem for him in the past.

Pettersson will have to work twice as hard to become the Canucks' go-to forward, and failure could make the Canucks' problems even worse.

The increased burden placed on Pettersson, according to General Manager Patrik Allvin, will have everyone, including management and fans, holding him under a microscope, and the added burden could make it even harder for him to work effectively in a high-pressure environment.

GM Allvin: «My expectation is higher on him than anyone else on our team, and I expect him to meet my expectation, and I expect him to meet his own expectation. And so far, he has not.»


The real impact of Miller's move and Pettersson's reaction will become apparent in the future, but for now, uncertainty shrouds the Canucks' inner dynamics in the locker room.
