"IS IT ONLY ME OR HAS K'ANDRE MILLER TOTALLY LOST HIS WAY?" The Maven Replies: No, Mark, I've also had my questions about Miller and his defensive abilities in terms of positioning and giveaways. The Hockey News lists K'Andre as the Rangers second-best defenseman after Adam Fox. I disagree. I'd rate him in fourth place, behind Ryan Lindgren and Braden Schneider. Let's face it, Miller is not a Norris Trophy candidate and was not a major hellp during crunch time last year. But he also has assets both offensively and on the blue line. I also suggest that he may also be one who suffered from a p.r. build-up to a letdown. My conclusion is that – like many defensemen – he still needs more time to grow into his role on the blue line. He's only 24. Igor Shesterkin Has Reportedly Rejected Contract Extension Paying Him $11 Million Per Season Let's talk about him a year from now. If he hasn't improved by then. I would expect management to put him on the trading block!
