Recent NHL news has been dominated by trade rumors and significant games. The Vancouver Canucks were reportedly close to trading center J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers, but the deal appears to have stalled. Miller was not held out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, despite earlier indications that he might not play due to the impending trade. The Canucks have sent a note to the league warning teams against talking to their players without permission, but several teams are believed to have permission to speak with Miller[1].

In other Canucks news, the team is considering trading other key players, including Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser. Boeser has a cap hit of $6.65 million this season and a 10-team no-trade list, making him a valuable asset that could fetch a good return if traded before the March 7 deadline.

The Colorado Avalanche has been negotiating a new contract with winger Mikko Rantanen, who is UFA-eligible on July 1. Rantanen is seeking a deal comparable to the $14 million AAV that Leon Draisaitl will make with the Edmonton Oilers starting next season, while the Avalanche prefers a deal closer to teammate Nathan MacKinnon's $12.6 million. Despite rumors that the Avalanche might shop Rantanen if he remains unsigned by the trade deadline, the team has no intention of trading him due to his value to the lineup.

On the ice, the Toronto Maple Leafs staged a major comeback to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 7-3, snapping the latter's six-game points streak. The Ottawa Senators also came back from a deficit to win 6-5 over the Boston Bruins in a shootout, with Tim Stutzle scoring the winning goal. The Vancouver Canucks held on for a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers, with captain Quinn Hughes scoring twice and J.T. Miller picking up two assists.

The NHL has also announced details for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off, an international tournament featuring NHL players from the US, Canada, Finland, and Sweden. The tournament will take place from February 12-20, with games in Montreal and Boston. Each team will consist of 23 NHL players selected by their respective national associations, and the tournament will follow a round-robin format with a one-game final.

In other news, the Chicago Blackhawks upset the Vegas Golden Knights 5-3, and the Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward Evgeni Malkin on injured reserve. The NHL also released its midterm draft rankings, with Brandt Clarke topping the list. The 4 Nations Face-Off schedule and rosters have been announced, and the tournament promises to be a highlight of the NHL season.
