If he can turn into the Rangers version of Big Buff, that would be fantastic

Rangers future on D
That's just what I was thinking... Byfuglien, Burns, he could be the next forward convert to be a star player.
We're on the same page but I was originally talking about Hajek.

I agree. Accuracy is more important. Defensemen rarely get more than 10-15 goals a season. Their playmaking ability and their ability to generate rebounds with an accurate shot is more valuable.

His first NCAA game is underway tonight and he just scored to put Wisconsin in the lead 1-0 
Some of the guys are talking about the game in the Prospect thread but I think we can use his thread for him since he was a 1st round pick

He's slick. Very skilled. He looks like a guy who was originally a forward.

I didn’t watch much of him last year, and I’ve seen a decent amount of talk that his shot isn’t very good, but (even besides his goal) it’s looked pretty good to me

Do you know which pair he is on? Being as he's a freshman I'm going to assume he's definitely not the top pair, but did he make the 2nd pair out of camp?

According to the pregame lineup sheet he’s on the 2nd pair

That's a good goal. Gets the puck. Puts his head up. Takes his space. Wires a shot.
K'Andre has boom potential, and I'm here for it.

Almost just scored on the PP too. He’s played really well this period so far (I missed the first period)
He's paired with Peter Tischke, it appears, which is cool because he's a Senior and Captain. At least at even strength.

Ah very nice pairing him with a vet and leader (and judging by his stats, a stay at home dman).
Drought. Draught is "draft" as in draught beer, and I think we'd all be on favor of a point draught.

Instant favorite. He'll arrive for Hanks twilight season and a single tear will streak down his sweet, swedish cheek
I'll tell you, I know this is just one game and everything, but K'Andre does not look like a Freshman. And they don't really use him like one, either. He's going to be a big part of this Badger team.

It seems like they’ve put him in every possible situation so far. If he can keep this up he can end up being their #1D by the end of the season

I wish I could have watched the game tonight, it sounds like he played well and did things that made everyone excited. That's pretty awesome for a Sean Day clone.

I always thought he had a good shot that he needed to use more often.
But I think that will come with time as he continues to get comfortable with the position. Right now he’s concentrating on learning the position - the reads, the reactions, playing the puck under pressure, etc.
Because of that, I have a funny feeling he could be one of those kids who really starts to put it all together after he turns pro.
He’s an amazing athlete, and you have to accept the learning process for right now. In some ways it’s like watching someone who has amazing artistic talent, but is still very early in their training.
The excitement with Miller isn’t because he’s blowing the world away at 18, even though he’s been very good. The excitement is because of the belief that if he’s this good now, how good can he be with more experience, confidence and comfort?
That’s what makes him incredibly intriguing for the Rangers, and one of the big reasons he was one of the most talked about players heading into the draft.
I also must must remind everyone that I was one of two people to choose K'Andre Miller in our mock draft, because I liked his name.
EDIT: Well I'm full of shit. I actually picked Jett Woo. f***. Anyway, moving on...

I posted about him as well lolol..go back and see it's in the Jan-Feb draft threads. Same with Lundkvist. But in all seriousness he had the traits of a Rangers pick. Same with O'Brien who the Flyers took.
That goal was very Shattenkirk-esque with the deceptive wrister. Good stuff.
