As we know, the New York Rangers’ season is a disaster.
Even if the chances of seeing them make the playoffs are slim, with a core like that, it could only take a major trade to revive the troops.
In the last episode of Spittin’ Chicletspodcast hosted among others by Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette, the latter mentioned something interesting on this subject.
The former tough guy mentioned that Rangers GM Chris Drury would go to great lengths to acquire the services of JT Miller.
By clicking on the Youtube link below, it will take you directly to the excerpt on the Rangers.
Bissonnette said he regularly hears about a connection between Miller and the Rangers.
Adding a player like Miller would undoubtedly help the Rangers.
But you know the saying: to receive, you must give.
In New York, Mika Zibanejad has disappointed many this season, with only six goals.
Also in the podcast, the idea of offering Mike Zibanejad as a base was raised and it would make a lot of sense.
The Rangers need changes and Miller remains an excellent versatile and physical player and Zibanejad needs a change of scenery.
In Vancouver, there really seems to be friction between Miller and Elias Pettersson and trading one of the two players could be positive.
Additionally, both players have a similar long-term contract ($8M for Miller and $8.5M for Zibanejad)
Obviously, Zibanejad won’t be enough, but Drury has what he can offer to add value.
There must be change at the Rangers.
In burst
– Another goal for Ovechkin. Clearly, he has a mission in mind.
– Poor Marc-André Fleury who allows a goal to Ovechkin for the 41st time in his career.
– No, but… What a stop!
– Zach Werenski is in good company.
