"The New York Rangers have named JT Miller as their next captain. Miller, who was drafted by the Rangers in the first round in 2011, returned to the Rangers in January last season. The Rangers sent Filip Chytil, a 1st round pick and Victor Mancini to Vancouver to reacquire Miller in an attempt to reshape the locker room. While the impact in the room wasn't immediate, it was clear the new direction for the Rangers had Miller as captain."
"Miller replaces the departed Jacob Trouba as the new captain. Trouba and Chris Kreider-who was also traded-were part of the "old guard" and included in Chris Drury's purge of the existing leadership group. Miller brings emotion and tenacity to the lineup and should be a good change of pace from prior leadership groups. He's also a different voice from Trouba and Kreider (and perhaps Mika Zibanejad as well), and sometimes you just need a different voice."
JT Miller will serve as the New York Rangers' captain after returning to the team in January following a trade. He was originally drafted by the Rangers in the first round in 2011. The Rangers sent Filip Chytil, a 1st round pick, and Victor Mancini to Vancouver to reacquire Miller to reshape the locker room. The initial impact in the room was not immediate, but the roster direction soon centered on Miller as captain. Miller replaces Jacob Trouba, who, along with Chris Kreider, was part of the old guard removed in Chris Drury's leadership changes. Miller brings emotion, tenacity, and a different voice to the lineup.
