It's officially one week into the post-J.T. Miller era in Vancouver, and so far, the Canucks have played quite well, going 2-1-1 in their last four games.

After weeks of rumors surrounding his availability, the Vancouver Canucks finally dealt J.T. Miller last Friday, sending him to the New York Rangers, the team that drafted him 15th overall in 2011.

J.T. Miller's family says goodbye to Vancouver in social media post

One week after J.T. Miller was dealt to the New York Rangers, his wife Natalie took to social media to thank the city of Vancouver and the Canucks fan base for some incredible memories since they arrived in 2019.

"Vancouver there are not enough words I can say about how much we loved our time here. Raising our babies, trying new food, exploring and being in Rogers Arena will forever be some of our favorite memories. Thank you for every message. We are so grateful for the support and love and will hold onto our time here really close to our hearts. THANK YOU," J.T. Miller's wife, Natalie, said in a post on Instagram.

Miller finished his tenure in Vancouver as arguably one of the best forwards to suit up for the organization, given the impact he had in his part of six seasons as a Canuck.

The East Palestine, Ohio, native appeared in 404 games with the Vancouver Canucks where he had 437 points (152 goals, 285 assists), along with 30 points in 30 Stanley Cup Playoff contests.

Miller's 437 points in the regular season have him in 11th all-time in Vancouver Canucks franchise history sandwiched between former captain Bo Horvat, who's 12th, and Elias Pettersson, who's in 10th.

The reported rift with Elias Pettersson got too much to handle for Vancouver, leading to the trade last Friday. While it's unfortunate that he had to be dealt, Canucks fans are wishing him all the best with the New York Rangers.

In his first three games back with the Rangers, J.T. Miller has four points (two goals, two assists) and is a plus-one.

Vancouver Canucks fans will get to see J.T. Miller face his former team next month when the team takes a trip to the East Coast to take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, March 22.
