Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.

Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin on Monday declined to address reports that forward J.T. Miller was nearly traded to the Rangers over the weekend.

The scuttled J.T. Miller trade between the Canucks and the New York Rangers, which was first reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on “Hockey Night in Canada,” was close enough to occurring that Vancouver considered not dressing Miller for its Saturday night home game against the Edmonton Oilers.

The New York Rangers are reportedly trying to trade for Canucks center J.T. Miller. But Adam Proteau says they can't make a Miller trade make sense for them right now.

The Vancouver Canucks are at an impasse with star forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. Both players are amid deep cold spells inspired by an off-ice rift, resulting in plenty of trade rumors. The team took one step forward in figuring out its plan with the duo on Saturday when Miller was nearly held out of Vancouver’s lineup to support a trade to the New York Rangers,
