JT Miller is losing fans in Vancouver quickly. This is coming both in the stands, and in the locker room.

The controversy started when Miller berated goaltender Colin Delia during a game.

When asked about the incident, Miller selfishly downplayed it.

Then a new comment surfaced, when Miller was asked about his underwhelming production this season:

I'd like to say my lack of production is a compliment to me not cheating the game and playing the right way.

This is a shocking quote, as his 99-point season in 2021-22 was what earned him his seven-year, $56-million extension.

Now, NHL Insider Frank Seravalli has revealed Miller's reputation in the locker room. It's no shocker that he isn't viewed in the most positive light.

He has kind of developed a reputation on that team of being a prick.

It also can't be forgotten that Miller's contract is the main reason why Vancouver will have to part ways with their captain Bo Horvat. Nothing like replacing a team's young, respectable captain with a veteran prick for seven years.
