He is the only reason that the team will be forced to part ways with their captain, Bo Horvat, as his $56-million extension has cap-strapped his team.
His play is also visibly declining, after a career-year 99-point season that earned him his extension.
His attitude isn't doing him any favours either.
In the Canucks game against the Winnipeg Jets, one particular scene has caused fans to be outraged.
When Miller had the puck in his own zone, he shouted at his goaltender, Colin Delia, to empty the net. When Delia hesitates, as Miller doesn't yet have full safety, Miller screams at Delia. Once Miller is safely behind his own net, he slapped his stick on the back of the net in order to show some time of dominance. This was absolutely ridiculous, and uncalled for.
Clearly Miller is losing fans quickly, both in the stands, and in the locker room.
