Player Discussion K'Andre Miller

[McRanger92]

Now, now......be careful here. There must be some other underlying reason why some people think he's not a good player......whatever could that be @IDvsEGO ?????????

I forgot about that hahah. Ridiculous.

The entire braintrust should be canned. Drury last gasp is going to be consummating this JT Miller trade. If he can't get it done I bet he's fired after the season. No skin off my ass.

Fire Drury and get rid of the cigar ashes left by Sather. Fumigate the building.
Take out the trash

I've defended Drury for years but his head is on the chopping block with how he moves out this busted core. The shit the Rangers have valued over the last decade is not working.

8 years! 6 million AAV! Id waive K'Andre for nothing before giving him anything close to that. this guy should be looking for real estate opportunities on the west coast because that's where he's gonna be soon.

I would trade him for a bucket of steam or a bag of pucks, just kidding. I think we could get a serviceable player and a couple of picks for him, or nclude him in a bigger deal. Do it while he is still worth something

It's because he's a converted forward and still learning defense. Maybe by the time he's 35 he'll have enough experience to make the right play.

Maybe put him back at forward. Now is the time to experiment

its a tough double-edged sword....if you play him, his value will go down based on his play. If you sit him, there's a perception his value will go down. Its a lose-lose thing no matter what happens with this buffoon.

The lone positive for me out of this season will be the satisfaction of the rest of you coming around to what I've been screaming about for the past 2 seasons; that Miller is putrid. It's not much, but it's all I have.

He waved off Lindgren too. So cocky and entitled and lo and behold it's behind your goalie in the net. Where are the leaders to tell him that's not acceptable. they aren't on the rangers bench (players or coaches), that's for damn sure.

Funny thing is that Lindgren came on for Borgen while Miller joined a rush. Him and Lindgren go back against nobody to get the puck. Miller should have let Lindgren get the puck and while Lindgren waited behind the net, he should have changed for Fox. Miller should not have even been on the ice. Once he gave the puck away he was useless because he was on the tail end of a long shift. Change like you are supposed to, you idiot.

He was great tonight. That’s the infuriating thing about this guy and others on the team. The inconsistency is their downfall.

It's a big part of why it's hard to move on from a player with his skill set. Miller is one of those guys that when there's chaos around him he plays into the chaos and he looks worse and does worse. When there's structure and support around him he really benefits and then shines. He's the exact player that many teams are afraid to trade away and have blow up in there face down the road bc of this skill set. He just needs to mature his game and maintain a calm when shit is going crazy.

Credit to both he and Borgen, they have really been eating up minutes with lots of play in the offensive zone.

The nuclear gaffes are still there but he's much better with Borgen, who looks like what Trouba was supposed to be for us the last few years. Lindgren to me is the real issue on the defense. They need a real 1LD next to Fox and everyone will be slotted correctly.
