Player Discussion J.T. Miller

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I know, i was just riffing on your "must be ppg or really good defensively" line. None of our forwards are PPG players and only Stap and Nash are what I'd deem really good defensivly, thus only 2 top 6 fwds

We should really stop expecting players to put up 1 PPG. Jamie Benn won the Art Ross trophy with 89 points .

Do you know the number of players who scored 1.00 PPG or higher last season?

8. That's it. 8 players.

I still think we should have one

JT Miller is turning it on and I love it.

 

[FLYLine27*]

7 points in the last 8 games...I like.

 

[ecemleafs]

i like how he hits to inflict damage. he doesnt just rub someone off along the wall to get a hit. he bends his knees and launches himself into the other player to really hurt the other guy.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

He's been playing his best hockey as a Ranger. Him and Fast look like they care night in and night out.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Glad everyone is starting to pick up on the effort and consistency Miller has shown this year. He still has areas to work on, but this is exactly the type of development you want to see out of top prospects.

 

[darko]

Best player tonight IMO.

 

[Ail]

Miller has been one of the only positives through an awful stretch of hockey.

 

[Mac n Gs]

He played very well at both ends of the ice last night. I love the Miller-Brassard-Zucc line

Nice he's usually streaky w points

 

[RangerBoy]

I love Miller but I wouldn't give him more than a 2 year bridge deal. He is 3 years away from group 3. Show me you are worth a long term contract over the next 2 years. If Miller averages a point per game or close to that the rest of the season,maybe you look into how much a long-term contract covering arbitration and group 3 will cost.

Agreed he's been great for the last dozen games or so. Very happy to see that.

 

[Made Dan]

He's shown flashes like this before, hope he sustains it. He's been a constant presence as of late.

 

[Raspewtin]

He's shown flashes like this before, hope he sustains it. He's been a constant presence as of late.

There's something different about this time though. He's a lot more rough and playing harder than he has ever before. He's on pace for almost 200 hits.

Yeah this is a big difference. Ever since he started going hit crazy in the isles game he's looked like a different player.

Saw this on a Rangers blog. JT is our Road Warrior:

"He (J.T. Miller) leads the Rangers in points (14), tied for the team lead in assists (8) and is tied for second in goals (6) on the road this season".

 

[Irishguy42]

JT Miller, as of late, is money. Really good.

 

[Rangers in 7]

He's been our best player lately by a wide margin

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Him on the brass-zucc line is money... But AV will change it back to Nash...

 

[Raspewtin]

Miller has to stay in the top 6.

I wish he'd shoot more but getting Nash the **** off of B+Z's line was a start.

He also officially passed Zuccarello as the team's p/60 leader against Tampa and is in a three way tie with Nash and Brassard for 2nd in ES pointson the team.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Would love to see this trend continue. I am not holding my breath, though.

 

[Irishguy42]

When do you guys think Miller will have his "breakout" season? Next season? Season after?
