When J.T. Miller was drafted back in 2011, he entered the league regarded as a player that could handle work both in the center and on the wing. However, as he started playing games for the Rangers, he slowly moved into a permanent spot on the left wing.
With the Rangers struggling to set up effective offensive lines early in the 2017-18 season, the choice to revert Miller back to the center position was risky but has turned out to a move that helped solidify the offense.
With 2016-17 serving as his “breakout season,” seeing the same level of production this year would show that Miller should remain a staple on the Rangers’ offense.
