The never-ending trade saga with the Vancouver Canucks is nearing its end — and so too, it seems, is the J.T. Miller era.

Saturday was full of headlines for the Vancouver Canucks as the J.T. Miller trade speculation reached a near-boiling point. This comes after a disappointing 5-1 loss to the L.A. Kings on Thursday night.

The Vancouver Canucks lost to the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Thursday night. It is their 12th loss in their last 16 games, which has sent them tumbling out of the playoffs. The poor play on the ice has been overshadowed by locker-room drama involving Elias Pettersson and JT Miller.

Saturday, 7 p.m., Rogers Arena TV: Hockey Night In Canada. Radio: Sportsnet 650 The buzz: You may have heard Saturday is Hockey Day in Canada. The Canucks versus Oilers’ game will be the nightcap for a full day of hockey.

All eyes will be on the Canucks offence, as they need to have a strong game to defeat the Oilers. Vancouver has been outscored 11-2 in their last two games and has scored more than one goal only once in their previous five contests.
