As the trade deadline draws closer, the Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers may end up being partners after all following new reports of their interest in a Blueshirts defenseman.

The Rangers appear to be the heavy favorites to acquire Miller, especially since the Carolina Hurricanes, a team linked to the veteran forward, just traded for Mikko Rantanen. The NHL Trade Deadline is on Mar. 7 as the Miller sweepstakes should continue to heat up in the weeks leading up to the big day.

According to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, general manager Chris Drury remains "fully engaged" in trade discussions to bolster his team’s playoff push. Pagnotta's report came on the heels of Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reporting a failed trade for Miller on Saturday.
