Miller’s Future in Question | New York Rangers News

On July 23rd, the New York Rangers have been busy this off season, bringing in some new faces to beef up the squad. They snagged Pavel Dorofeyev for some scoring plunge, added Marcus Pedersen and Sean Dursey to shore up the defense, and Oliver Bjorkstrand to add.
Depth at forward. Word is, they're still looking to add another forward before the season kicks off.
But here's the realty. If the team stumbles out of the gate next season, specifically in 2026-2027, General Manager, Chris Drury might be looking at some drastic moves. One name being floated is Captain JT. Miller. This isn't entirely out of left field. The Rangers have a history of trading captains. Remember Jacob Truba, Ryan McDonough, and Ryan Callahan? All wore the seas and were eventually moved. Miller, who's got four years left on his $8 million deal, has had a bit of a rough go lately with his stats dipping and some questionable moments on and off the ice. According to reports, the team is also eyeing a young center to build around for the future. With Miller and Mikha Zibanejad getting up there in age, finding a long-term replacement is becoming a priority. Miller does have some say in his future though, with a 15-team no-trade clause in his contract. Ultimately, the Rangers are hoping Miller bounces back and leads them to success. But if the wins don't come and the team continues to struggle, the pressure on Drury to make a big change, even involving their captain, could become immense.
