Elias Pettersson and JT Miller are having what appears to be the biggest beef between two teammates in recent memory.
It is no secret to Canucks fans that the two players do not get along, but now that information is becoming widely known around the league.
In fact, things have gotten so bad, that the two players haven't even played together at all since Miller's return to the lineup.
Tonight, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman gave us another update on this ongoing drama, revealing that the Canucks thought they had the situation under control coming into this season.
Apparently, they could not be more wrong.
Friedman went on to discuss how the team can move forward from this.
He did say that the team would prefer to keep both players because of how good they both are, but did acknowledge that that may be a dream at this point.
Friedman himself has even suggested that the team may very well trade one of the players.
In fact, he theorized that the Canucks could trade Pettersson to the Buffalo Sabres.
It will be interesting to see what direction the team goes though as it sounds like Miller is the bigger problem.
Obviously, Pettersson has made it known that he has a problem with him, but it seems like the rest of the team may largely be on his side, so trading the Swede might not be the best idea.
Ultimately though, only the Canucks know for sure exactly what is going on, so we will just have to see how they handle this awkward situation moving forward.
