Recalled/Assigned: J.T. Miller recalled from Hartford

[YoSoyLalo]

If they put him at wing I'll freak out.

 

[we want cup]

Im pretty sick of the Rangers yo-yo-ing this kid everytime somebody on the roster struggles (which is a lot because half of these forwards stink).

As usual, the glaring absence of a strategy is staggering.

I'm hoping he's sticking. No yo-yoing. They can't be making the same mistake they made with CK, especially with all the public criticism they received last year... can they?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I would definitely like to see Miller left in Hartford to really get into an offensive rhythm.

But then again I said the same thing about Kreider and he seized the opportunity. Hopefully Miller does the same. And at center.

 

[Fitzy]

If they put him at wing I'll freak out.

I think they'd be happier to play him at center if he demonstrated better defensive sensibilities.

 

[Thirty One]

If they put him at wing I'll freak out.

They're obviously going to put him at wing.

 

[McRanger]

So if Miller is our 3rd line center, how are we stacking up with the lines? Brassard to the wing is something I have wanted to try since he is abysmal on faceoffs, sometimes a move to the wing helps a struggling pivot.

Kreider-Stepan-Nash
Hagelin-Richards-Callahan
Brassard-Miller-Zuccarello

Or the like.

Miller should play with defensively competent wingers. In theory that should Hagelin and Callahan, although in practice Cally has been a turnover machine. Either way Callahan and Richards need to be on separate lines. IMO if you are moving a center to winger it should be Richards.

 

[richardsequalscup*]

I have nothing against D. Moore but this move was not needed. You had 4 centers already. What they need to do is trade for a legit 3rd line center who can take faceoffs because Brassard and Stepan are both train wrecks in the circle. You can't have 2 guys that bad taking draws. Honestly, the team really needs to have Kreider start taking draws and letting him get used to that role. Stepan just sucks at it and he doesn't appear to have any interest in getting better at it.

 

[The Gloaming]

I see Miller is getting the Kreider treatment. Up and down he goes.

Don't you think that no one could be available at the moment or the price is way too high?

I hope not.

But Torts is gone......

If they play him 12 mins a night at C it's ok, otherwise he's better off staying with the Pack

 

[Vitto79]

So why are people saying Miller at C? It seems like this is a replacement for Pyatt or Pouliott on RW

Meaning down the pipe its a combo of Richards, Stepan, Brassard, Boyle, Moore still. With one sliding to the wing.

3rd line of Hagelin, Brassard , Miller. What's wrong with looking at that for a while?

 

[Riverdale]

He needs to stay in the AHL.

He's better at center, move Brass to the wing.

Somewhere along the way, someone said that Miller is the roXXorZ at center, and now it's just a thing that everyone says.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

He's better at center, move Brass to the wing.

Or trade Brass...

 

[Vitto79]

Well I do see miller as next yrs 3rd line c w Richards being bought out.

They could do a lot of things like Richards , brassard, Callahan . Then hagelin, miller , zuccarello

 

[mike14]

Or because we drafted him as a C and he's played it everywhere else....

Although both options seem equally plausible

Offensively he looked much better in the middle....Defensively is another story.... but he should play in the middle.... thats the path for his career in my opinion..... Idc what anybody else has said...ive thought this all along... with my own brain and everything

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Or trade Brass...

Or just move him to wing...

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

This is probably so Moore can play 2nd line wing

Show off.

I'm sure we'll all love those cross ice give aways he has in store for us leading to odd man rushes and break aways.

 

[Machinehead]

Brass is our 3C right now. How much worse could Miller be defensively?
