The 29-year-old forward spoke to the media on Tuesday after signing a seven-year, $56 million contract with the Canucks on Friday.
Miller said he was very proud of the contract and wanted to win with the current group of players in Vancouver.
Miller led the team with 99 points (32 goals, 67 assists) last season and could have become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Drafted 15e in total by the New York Rangers in 2011, the American played for the Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Canucks, amassing 454 points (169 goals, 285 assists) in 637 regular season games.
The new deal was made the day after Miller’s wife, Natalie, gave birth to their son, Owen, the couple’s third child.
