The New York Rangers need to make some major changes this offseason and one player that I think needs to be moved is defenseman K’Andre Miller. He is too inconsistent of a player and his defensive play just hasn’t been near good enough for the Rangers. Miller isn’t the only player not playing great this season but it isn’t the first time we’ve seen his inconsistent play so I would say it’s now time to move on.

They have to move on from nearly everybody in this defense core if given the oppurtunity. NO EXCEPTIONS. FOX included. The term defensive defenseman applies to NOBODY in that room.
The whole team needs to blown up , core is old n slow and tanked on Very good coaches, starting with cancer Krieder & Mika turned into.
Housley turned a Norris Trophy winner into a disaster, lavy refuses to change a pp thats gone 2-33 , kpoke as hes commonly known is 6'4 220 and turned into another Willie Huber . JT hasnt scored a goal in 6 games and hasnt showed up in the most important games, having scored 7 g against
Isles,2
Boston,2
Pitt,2
Preds,1
Basically a bottom feeder in the Eastern Conference,his best yr in ny he only had 56 pts in 82 games on dome pretty damnTeams in NY………
Get Rid of Krieder,Mika,jt
SAM BENNETT

AND PLAY THE FREAKIN KIDS ALREADY
You know we're about to get wrecked today , Sam deserves better, but this team is hot garbage . This core is done our window is closed to all but the most delusional fans . But we have no picks and unmovable contracts so San Jose will win a cup before us.
Coaching staff needs to be replaced. There's no one on this staff who has demonstrated any kind change in the team's culture or gameplan. Hard disagree on K'Andre Miller. You've posted this sentiment several times before and I do not agree with it at all. You are in need of retooling and rebuilding whether we want to admit it or not. Key is young and an excellent skater and the best athlete in this defense corps. His game sense and poor decision making can be fixed…with good coaching. Phil Housley has failed this team and its players. Great players like Fox have become merely good. Young players like Schneider are treading water and K'Andre is being asking to play top pair minutes, which he can do, but he will only do it well if he has someone showing him where he can reach the next level. If you trade Miller because he's "inconsistent" you are trading a potentially core piece that you can cost control his AAV when his trade value is at its lowest. It's bad business and short sighted. Key isn't the problem with the defense, he is a symptom. Symptoms can be cured with treatment. However…the Rangers are historically terrible at developing and shepherding young players along in their development. All of our recent crop of draftees are languishing in Hartford, traded away or otherwise ruined…So maybe a trade for K'Andre might be in HIS best interest, just as it was for Kakko. He got traded almost too later and he is showing his quality since then. That seems to be the trend for the kids we give up on. Hell, Brett Howden won two Cups with Vegas after getting traded and everyone in NY hated that kid. So as a fan of Key…I should be hoping for a trade because keeping him on a team I've supported my whole life will put his career into an early grave. And that's sad. I should be wanting us to hang onto a talented young player like him, but if I am honest I think getting traded away from the Rangers is probably in his best interest because the Rangers aren't a serious hockey organization at the moment. We thought we were way better than we actually were because Igor was so good last year and our powerplay was lethal, but our 5v5 numbers were straight up bad. Our defensive play was papered over because he were scoring 3, 4 or 5 goals a night. The issues we are seeing ruin this season were visible last year if one looked closer. But yeah, trading key might make sense for the player but it shouldn't make sense for the team. And also, there is the unspoken aspect of this that no one wants to touch and that is Key was rejected by many of the fanbase because of his skin color before he even suited up for us. Remember when he came on to do a Reddit style AMA and the chat was full of people calling him the N word? He was a rookie. A kid. and our fanbase did that to him… Rangers fandom as a whole is a full of a lot of chuds who claimed they voted the way they did because of the price of eggs and that is a reality no one wants to talk about let alone confront. It's why i won't go to MSG to watch games anymore. I got tired of spending hundreds of bucks to sit amongst people who hold some of the most vile opinions and had no compunction saying these things when I'm taking my son to one his first Ranger games. It was shocking, so much so that it'll be a long time before I consider bringing my son to be around people who are so comfortable shouting racist and homophobic slurs or jokes. So, if I were Key, would i want to play for a fanbase like that?
Not fully joking when I proposed trading the entire team and coaching staff with Buffalo.
There's a kultur of losing there, so several lazy players will feel right at home; Buffalo has some real talent that could be much better in a new city.
"Inconsistent" is the perfect word for K Miller. Makes some great plays…then gives away the game winning goals. The guy has the size, speed and reach to excel – but doesn't. I have said the Rangers should have given him the same break to work with specialty coaches as Igor had. Now watch him get traded for nothing – and become a star somewhere else. Rangers squander talent and tolerate mediocrity – a fatal blend.
Ranger fans want to blow up the whole team but I think that is an overreaction. What needs to happen, of course, is replacing management from the top down with a competent GM & coach. Good players like Fox, Trochek & Lafreniere have underperformed for reasons unknown, but this happens under a coach like Laviolette. K'iller needs to be the first one out the door & yes I do think Rangers can get something decent back with his physical stature that others will see as a plus. They won't think about the deficiencies between the ears. Like Kakko, he will never be a great player. There are some good young D coming up like Fortescue & Dorrington, but Rangers can patch it up during free agency & trade for a year or two. Dorrington played 35! minutes in an upset win over Gabe's BC Eagles in OT.
I like that he said he likes to think of himself as a bully in front of the net. LIKE YA!!! And how about Noah Laba. He scored a shorthanded goal in his first game with the Pack. Jess Rubinstein, who has been providing scouting opinion for years, even put Laba ahead of Perreault as a prospect. There will be growing pains with a lot of youth in the lineup next year & the Rangers need a coach who can develop their game.
If miller gets traded to another team do you think heās really gunna be a starting defenseman? No shot so why is he the rangers starter with the most time on ice
The criticism of Miller is endless. Once they trade him that will guarantee that the rangers win the Cup. Really ?
I thought getting rid of Trouba and Lindgren was going to solve everything lol
K. Miller SUCKS he is a turnover machine. SORRY HE NEEDS TO GO LIKE yesterday !
The rangers defense sucks! They stick check when they should be taking the body especially when theyāre in front of their own net. The whole team is easy to play against without physicality and little forechecking. They let the opposition skate right to their goal leaving their goalies without help.
Itās the dumbest Ranger fan take
Not gonna trade a 6ā6 homegrown fast skater and what keep tiny slow Fox
Get bigger and faster , move Fox , Jones Kreider and Mika in offseason
Get rid of lazy, sulking regressing, soft goldilocks!!…He is a defensive nightmare!!
Nooooo. Who's replacing him?
Miller is a give away machine who is lackadaisical and has no hockey sense. Getting caught trying to rush into the offensive zone all the time. His shot from the point is slow and gets blocked a high percentage of the time. He needs to go. The only upside to his game is heās fast. Thatās it. The Rangers need to retool in the off season from the GM to the last roll player in Hartford !!
KA Miller is a TERRIBLE defenseman. The worst on the team. He is a liability. The Rangers must trade this big player that plays Small.
Trade Laf…Send him the fuck home.
A player with decent size won't take the body but, would rather stick check n, get in the goaltenders way..š®š®š®š®
