Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller addressed rumors of a supposed feud with teammate Elias Pettersson during a media session on Sunday morning, firmly dismissing the speculation.

The speculation arose from former Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau’s recent remarks hinting at tension between the two stars during his time with the team, coupled with team captain Rick Tocchet’s cryptic comments about team dynamics on Saturday.

Miller blamed the media for the rumors, saying:

“You guys have created this thing. This isn’t a thing. Am I bothered? No, but you guys are just wasting your time. I don’t care, you guys want to talk about it, ask me all you want.”

He emphasized that he is unfazed by the chatter surrounding their relationship and even suggested that he and Pettersson could do an interview together to put the rumors to restrest.

“I can bring up Petey and we can do the interview together if that will make you guys happy. I’m not worried about any noise,” he said.

When asked about his relationship with Miller, Pettersson also denied any issues, asserting that the media is simply trying to create drama.

”It’s good. I don’t know why people try to make s**t up. Excuse my language, but that’s my response to it,” he said.

Former Canucks coach opens up about J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson’s relationship

Former Vancouver Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau recently weighed in on the alleged tension between J.T. Miller and Pettersson. During an appearance on TSN’s Overdrive, Boudreau acknowledged being aware of some friction between the two players before his tenure as head coach.

Boudreau said:

“The easy thing would be to say, ‘Yes, it is a problem.’ And I knew they had a little bit of a problem between them before I got there, but I thought that was all straightened out and everything. So I’m hoping it’s a coincidence.”

Boudreau also highlighted how Pettersson’s production soared when playing alongside J.T. Miller:

“When he was getting 100 points, (in the) year with me, he was playing the wing with Miller and Boesser, or he was playing the wing with Horvat. “So I think a lot of it has to do with who he’s playing with and how good the rate of a power play is going with him. I’m hoping that it’s not a situation,” Boudreau added.

Elias Pettersson, currently under an eight-year, $92.8 million contract, has racked up 26 points this season through eight goals and 18 assists. Meanwhile, J.T. Miller has tallied 20 points, recording six goals and 14 assists in 23 games.

Verstappen-Piquet!? With that name – NOT a racing driver!?🤯#maxverstappen #formula1

• 23/12/2024 •

Max Verstappen, the reigning four-time Formula 1 World Champion, recently stirred conversations with his candid remarks regarding the future of his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in motorsport. In a light-hearted exchange, the Dutch driver reflected on the pressures and expectations that come with being part of a racing legacy, particularly with his connection to former F1 champion Nelson Piquet through his partner Kelly Piquet. During a discussion, Verstappen humorously contemplated how he would navigate the conversation with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren about pursuing a career in racing. He joked about the possibility of discouraging them from following in his footsteps, quipping that he might advise against buying go-karts. Instead, he suggested that they could engage with racing through simulators, emphasizing a more cautious approach to a sport that demands immense dedication and resilience. Verstappen’s comments highlight the complexities of balancing personal ambition and parental guidance in the competitive world of Formula 1. As a driver who rose through the ranks to achieve extraordinary success, he understands the immense pressure young racers face and the sacrifices required to reach the pinnacle of motorsport. While Verstappen’s playful tone suggests a light-hearted take on parenting in a high-stakes environment, his underlying message resonates with many in the racing community. It reflects a growing awareness of the challenges that come with pursuing a career in motorsport, prompting discussions about the values and priorities that should guide the next generation of drivers. As fans eagerly await the next F1 season, Verstappen’s perspective adds an intriguing layer to the conversation about family legacies in the sport and the responsibilities that come with them.

Surprise F1 team touted as Verstappen option

• 23/12/2024 •

Marc Priestley believes Williams could be in the Max Verstappen sweepstakes, if the 27-year-old opts to back out of his Red Bull deal early. The Dutchman is contracted to the Milton Keynes squad until the end of the 2028 F1 season, but team principal Christian Horner has said previously he would not stand in the 27-year-old’s way if he desired an early exit from his deal. Aston Martin and Mercedes have been suggested as potential landing spots for the four-time F1 drivers’ champion amid heavy speculation he will not see out the full term. The former has secured Honda power from 2026, which has been instrumental in Verstappen’s run of titles, with Adrian Newey also joining the Silverstone-based team early next year. Meanwhile, the latter held talks with Verstappen during what was a relatively turbulent campaign for Red Bull. According to Priestley, Williams cannot be discounted from the shortlist of suitable landing spots, along with the aforementioned Mercedes. “The drivers market is so complicated at the moment because everyone is basing their move on the regulation changes in 2026,” the 48-year-old told Casino Uden Rofus. “You have to choose the team you think will produce the best car, it could be a team like Williams. It’s a tough call.” If you’re Max Verstappen, you’d look at McLaren but they have two young drivers for years to come, Mercedes are not at the top at the moment but everyone knows they’re a solid team and very good operators. We also know Verstappen has had a lot of talks with Mercedes.” Expanding on the perhaps surprising inclusion of Williams in Priestley’s considerations, the former-McLaren mechanic highlighted the foundations being laid at the team for its plotted rise up the standings come the new rules set. “You could also look at Williams who, under the leadership of James Vowles, are building heavily towards 2026 with big expectations,” he explained. “I know for a fact they expect to compete right at the top with the best teams on the grid, maybe it’s an opportunity for Verstappen.” Who would, hypothetically, make way for Verstappen remains to be seen, but he is a known commodity to Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz, with both having partnered him in the past. In particular, the Spaniard’s camp endured a fractious relationship with that of the Red Bull driver when at Toro Rosso together. It is believed to be the key reason behind the six-time constructors’ champions opting not to sign the 30-year-old when it had the chance earlier in the year. Join RacingNews365’s Ian Parkes, Sam Coop and Nick Golding, as they review the remarkable 2024 F1 season! How Max Verstappen secured a fourth drivers’ title is discussed, as is Lewis Hamilton’s disappointing performance in his final season with Mercedes.
