It appears that the Vancouver Canucks may have found their new forward to replace J.T. Miller as they are now linked to Josh Norris of the Ottawa Senators.
The Vancouver Canucks could pursue Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris, Adam Kierszenblat of The Hockey News believes. The Canucks insider said the Canucks are interested in Norris as Kierszenblat believes Norris could be a good addition at center for Vancouver.
With the Vancouver Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers, it was clear that due to the lack of leverage, the return for Miller would not come close to replacing Miller's production with Canucks.
It is now up to Patrik Allvin to get back in the market to try and find an a suitable top line forward, and they may have found it with a link to the Ottawa Senators.

Do not get it mixed up, the Canucks got a promising young defenseman prospect in Victor Mancini and Filip Chytil is a solid NHL player who has already managed to showcase what he can do on the ice in his first two game with Vancouver Canucks.

But, one thing is for certain, he is no 100 point player like J.T Miller.
Now that Miller is gone, Allvin has made it clear that that their next move is to find a center in the trade market in order to continue improving the roster, and an insider with The Hockey News has linked the Canucks pursuing Norris.
Can confirm Norris is a player the Canucks are interested in. Timeline for his return looks like right after the trade deadline. Very good friend with Quinn Hughes and is signed long term. Would also give Vancouver add strength down the middle. A name to keep an eye.
Now that Norris is sidelined with an injury, it may be time for the Canucks to pounce on trying to acquire him for when he returns to action.
In 50 games for the Sens this season, the 25-year-old has 19 goals and 12 assists for 31 points, and is currently on pace for his best season yet as an NHLer.
Now entering his prime, the Canucks can view Norris the same way they did with J.T. Miller, who only really blossomed into the superstar he is at the same age and when he came over to Vancouver.
Norris is one fans should keep an eye on.
