Vancouver Canucks' president Jim Rutherford and GM Patrik Allvin addressed the media concerning the fallout from J.T. Miller's trade to the New York Rangers, prompted by a rift with star center Elias Pettersson. The Canucks' performance suffered, finishing six points out of the playoffs. Now in a transition phase, Rutherford emphasized the need to bolster forward depth and strengthen the center position. Pettersson's recent struggles, resulting from injury and the team turmoil, saw him produce just 45 points in 64 games. Despite signing a massive $92.8 million extension, Pettersson's future remains uncertain, as his no-movement clause won't take effect until July 1. The team is also considering re-signing key free agents and evaluating coach Rick Tocchet's future.
