Despite a challenging season that has seen him miss 16 games due to injuries and a leave of absence, Miller has recorded 31 points in 35 games, making him a desirable player, though he carries an $8 million cap hit through 2030.

The Hurricanes have strong prospects and still possess all their first and second-round draft picks for the next three drafts, which could be leveraged in a potential trade.

Concerns about Miller's fit with the Carolina Hurricanes have emerged, particularly due to his low goal total this season and reported tensions with teammate Elias Pettersson.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Eastern Conference is competitive, with 13 teams within five points of the final wild-card spot, creating a seller's market.

The Boston Bruins may consider Miller as a first-line center option, but they might hesitate due to his age and contract situation.

J.T. Miller was on the verge of being traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Rangers, but a disagreement over the protection structure of a first-round pick prevented the deal from being finalized.

The New Jersey Devils are interested in acquiring Miller to enhance their lineup, as they face challenges with depth scoring.

Devils' GM Tom Fitzgerald is looking to strengthen his roster before the trade deadline and has expressed a need for a player who can provide 'extra oomph'.

The Hurricanes are in search of a consistent high-end scorer to relieve pressure on their stars and improve their chances of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2006.

Currently, only two Hurricanes players, Jack Roslovic and Seth Jarvis, are on pace to reach 30 goals this season, highlighting the team's scoring struggles.

The proposed return for Miller from the Devils appears lackluster, with Filip Chytil viewed as a third-line player and Ryan Lindgren's performance declining.

The Canucks are currently struggling, having lost 11 of their last 15 games, which has put them out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
