He's a low-key power forward in the style of Kesler. Very hard to trade for this type of player usually.
I echo the Kesler comparison, even if they play different positions. Both in part because of game style, and also he seems to have that kind of grouchy, young-veteran leadership role on the team.
Miller is elite in his will to battle and desire to win. Which drives his above average skillset into elite level when playing with elite skill players.
We saw it with Burrows in a sense.

What makes JT Miller so good? It’s probably the enormous pressure he feels after familiarizing himself with the concept of opportunity cost.

All above average. A very well rounded player. Reminds me of Patrick Sharp a bit.

He executes well and really quickly. Rarely misses making high scoring chances on bang bang plays. Can handle and shoot at too end speed on the rush, and is heavy with a complete 200 foot game, and an elite motor

What a tale of two seasons for Miller. Just a dreadful player so far with a toxic attitude. Pathetic effort for multiple games now.
It's 0 or 100 with Miller. You read the earlier comments and they're exact polar opposites of what we're seeing now.
This is fantastic.
His counting stats mean we can still trade him for a haul.
Ship him out of town ASAP. He's a toxic malcontent. I think we're seeing why two teams decided to cast off a young, promising player.

Before selling him at a loss I kinda want to see what he looks like with a quality GM and head coach in place.
Speak for yourselves. I am a huge fan. Regardless if the fans are looking for a villain. He wears his passion on his sleeve. Other players may be passive aggressive. He's struggling and putting in a lousy effort at times, nearly every single player is.
This reminds me of when people were down on Hamhuis after a very very rare bad stretch of games, you know you're reaching when you start to look at certain players. Incredible to anybody who would look to move on from this player or think he's a big part of this. This team was struggling and circling the drain before he was even in the lineup. When Miller was gone, the core/stars were looking absolutely LOST.

We can leverage that on a trade.
I think Miller might have given up on the management rather than the team. I think he's sick and tired of Green and Benning. We
Sadly the Canucks can't afford to trade Miller. The team won't sell him for futures as organization is done with rebuilding. It also sends a message to the core that they aren't ready to compete for the playoffs. A young/bad team has no use for Miller. You trade him to a contender for a first (low first in bad draft) or you keep him. Those are the options right now.
Besides, who replaces him in the top 6? You can't name me one player that would make sense. (Assuming Hoglander is already in the top 6). Virtanen? Eriksson? Sutter? If you think EP is pouty now he might request for a trade at that point.
