Elias Pettersson and JT Miller were resolved by Vancouver Canucks stepping away the American to the New York Rangers.
Now the club icon Henrik Sedin says about the chaos in the team.
– It is sad with all the writing that has been, not being able to focus on hockey in the way you want to do, he says at a press conference.
Rumors of a conflict between Vancouver’s two stars Elias Pettersson26, and JT Miller31, began to flourish a month ago. In early February, it was clear that there was no alternative left than to ship one player.
“It clearly seems that there is not a good solution,” said the club president Jim Rutherford when.
In the end, Vancouver Canucks confirmed that they had JT Miller Trydas to the New York Rangers, a club he previously represented. In addition to Miller, Rangers also received Swedish Erik Brännström And the 20-year-old talent Jackson Dorrington. In return they received the Czech Center Filip Chytilthe hill Victor Mancini And a protected first choice in the draft.

It was of course a tough decision for Rutherford and Swedish General Manager Patrik Allvinbut they would rather have left and invest in Elias Pettersson.
– 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, said Jim Rutherford.
Henrik Sedin about the chaos in Vancouver
It is obvious that things have been slow for Canucks on the ice. Last year they won the Pacific Division and went to the quarterfinals. This year it is doubtful whether it will even be the playoffs. One who definitely has a good look at the team and its players is the club icon, as well as the Three Kronor legend, Henrik Sedin44. He still works in the club as a development coach for the senior team and for its farmer club Abbotsford. He does this with his twin brother Daniel Sedin.

He thinks it is sad that the conflict between the stars developed into a crack in the team. Now that JT Miller is gone, there is a chance of revenge for the player group that will be welded together again.
– No, it’s sad that there has been so much talk about it. There have been high expectations for the club this year after last year’s season. We have not lived up to them this year so far. Then it is sad with all the writing that has been, not being able to focus on hockey in the way you want to do. Now we look forward to having got new guys in the team who all looked good, he says at a press conference where the sports cable was in place.
