JT Miller leaves the Vancouver Canucks

This just in, the Vancouver Canucks have announced that star forward JT Miller has left the team and is taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons.

The 31 year old forward has 6 goals and 16 points in 17 games to start the season. It's worth noting that he was benched for the majority of the 3rd period in the Canucks' 5-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Sunday evening.

Miller has struggled a bit in the absence of winger Brock Boeser and has seen shaking his hand or wrist in recent games, leading to rumors that he has some sort of undisclosed injury. However, if that were the case then I'm not sure he'd be taking personal leave from the team. We can only speculate on the issue at hand, which isn't fair without the proper information. 

All the best to Miller and his family. I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision for him to make.
