Colin Miller, currently with the New Jersey Devils, has emerged as a potential target for the Canucks, with rumors suggesting that a trade involving veteran winger Conor Garland could be on the horizon to make room for Miller.

The Canucks' management appears committed to reshaping the roster and achieving a better balance between offensive and defensive strengths, signaling their intent to make a playoff push.

I would also like to point out that this goal doesn't happen without Colin Miller and he should be on the second power play unit. That is all.#TexasHockey    #OneStateOneTeam pic.twitter.com/YIHwVXCDUp
