J.T. Miller taking leave from Canucks for personal reasons
NY Post
J.T. Miller will be out for the foreseeable future.
The Canucks forward is taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons, the team announced on Tuesday.
“Right now, our sole focus is making sure that J.T. knows the entire organization is here to support him,” Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said. “Out of respect for J.T., we will have no further comment at this time.”
Miller, 31, has 16 points so far this season, which are tied for the second-most on the Canucks.
The Province’s Patrick Johnston reported on BlueSky that Miller’s absence “is not related to substance or alcohol abuse or anything at all like that.”
“It’s about giving the player a chance to re-set himself mentally,” he added. “We know he is obsessed with competing at 100 percent and we can see he hasn’t been. That’s been weighing on him.”
