STAMFORD, Conn. — At the end of his first Prospect Development Camp with the Rangers, goalie Igor Shesterkin was asked Friday what he thought of playing behind defenseman K’Andre Miller in scrimmages over the last three days.
“He’s a big and strong defenseman,’’ Shesterkin said of Miller, through the translation of Rangers director of European scouting, Nick Bobrov. “And I feel like there’s a wall in front of me.’’
Miller, the second of three first-round picks by the Rangers in 2018 (they traded up to get him, at No. 22 overall), is big, all right. Bigger than the 6-4, 200 pounds he is listed at on the roster sheets handed out by the Rangers.
