The Vancouver Canucks have been at the center of drama for weeks now, and according to one analyst, things still aren't right with the team.
Over the past few weeks, it's been nothing but drama, and trade speculation coming out of Vancouver, and with the public feud between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller rolling on, it appears to be only a matter of time until something huge happens.
Details on the situation have been scarce over the past week, with no new drama emerging around the entire ordeal, but now, TSN's Craig Button has speculated that something simply isn't right in the Canucks locker room at the moment.
"Now, you're always going to come across situations that challenge you, but if you want to be successful, you have to find solutions to your problems. And that's simply where the Vancouver Canucks find themselves at this moment in time.
Whether you want to call it turmoil or drama, the bottom line is, there is something that isn't right with the Vancouver Canucks, and we've heard continuously about JT Miller and Elias Pettersson ... it's clearly a situation that is not only distracting but ... harming them with respect to their on-ice play."
The latest update from Elliotte Friedman on the situation has revealed that talks between Vancouver and the New York Rangers are ongoing, with the Canucks attempting to land Braden Schneider in return for their star center J.T. Miller.
Whatever ends up happening here, it appears this was all simply handled wrong inside the locker room, but given the reports of this drama affecting everyone else in the locker room, moving on from Miller, Pettersson or perhaps both may be the way to go as the team look to get their Stanley Cup chase back on track.
