Vancouver Canucks tripled away JT Miller after the conflict with Swedish star Elias Pettersson.
Now they are facing each other again when Tre Kronor and the United States meet in Four Nations.
– I have moved on, he has probably also moved on, says Elias to Sportbladet.
A few months ago it began to rumor a crack between two of Vancouver’s biggest stars, Swedish Elias Pettersson And American JT Miller. The club tried to resolve the conflict, but after a while chose to take away Miller to the New York Rangers.
– I felt for a long time that there was a solution because everyone has worked on it, including those involved. But it only resolves for a short while and then it flares up again, said the Vancouver President Jim Rutherford Some time ago.
Tough season for Vancouver Canucks
It’s been a tough time for Vancouver this season. The results have not gone the way, but before Four Nations they have at least taken three straight wins.
– When you do not have chemistry, it is difficult to be consistent as a team. There is too much going on for everyone to concentrate on what they should, Jim Rutherford has said.

Elias Pettersson has also talked in the media about the difficult period.
– It has not been the best (season, reds.anm.). A lot of noise, I was saying, in the media. But I’m just trying to control what I can. It has been a lot, but the best thing I have done is to delete social media. Then it is difficult to read something. It was a lot for a while. You know what is standing, so, he says during a press conference before Four Nations, according to Sportbladet.
Now that Tre Kronor meets the United States in the (possibly) last match in Four Nations, Elias Pettersson is also set against antagonist JT Miller for the first time since he left Vancouver.
– It’s going to be fun. Play against the United States that has a very good team. I saw their match against Canada and then made a very good match, he tells Sportbladet.

He, on the other hand, does not want to comment on how it feels to play against JT Miller specifically.
– Now you are looking for headlines (headlines). I have moved on, he has probably also moved on. I have respect for him. An incredibly good player. Now that’s what it is and I’m looking forward to the United States tomorrow, he says.
What do you think about Tre Kronor’s efforts during Four Nations so far? Losses against both Canada and Finland after extensions. Feel free to leave a comment!
