Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.

The Vancouver Canucks are poised to fundamentally reimagine the direction of their franchise. It’s a process that could significantly alter the club’s short-term standing and priorities, and it nearly began rather dramatically over the weekend.

There was momentum on J.T. Miller getting traded to the New York Rangers on Saturday, but the deal collapsed per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. Miller was supposedly being held out of Saturday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers while some AHL players in the Rangers organization were scratched.
