Miller has come into criticism after the Canucks recent game vs the Winnipeg Jets when Miller would throw a tantrum, screaming at Canucks back up goaltender Colin Delia to:
When Miller was trying to set up a play, he would then slam his stick on the back of the net before Delia would go to the bench for the extra attacker down by a goal in the final minute of the 3rd period.

Sportsnet's Hockey panel would discuss the situation and they too didn't agree with Miller's actions. They would also show Miller's lack of interest to defend on two of the goals vs the Calgary Flames.

This is definitely not the leader a team needs, but unfortunately with Bo Horvat to likely be traded on or before March 3rd, and Miller having 7 years left on his current deal, the Canucks are in a very tough situation.
