The New York Rangers had two main games Star Center JT Miller After having acquired it from Vancouver canuks.
Miller made his debut for his second service round with the Bloehirts on Saturday, marking two goals against Boston BruinsThen adding a Decisive assists against the Golden Knights of Vegas on Sunday.
It is difficult to think of a better return to the Rangers to Miller, but do not go wrong – it’s always a defective team. Miller’s acquisition does not deal with what is not really going with this team.

The Rangers beat Vegas on Sunday, but before that, they lost 5-4 against the Colorado avalanche, 4-0 against the Hurricanes of Caroline and 6-3 against the Bruins. Producing the offensive was not their biggest problem. It was their defense that granted 15 goals in this period, and only one of them was an empty netter.
The rangers are 20th from NHL in goals against per game, granting 3.08. Their 2.98 goals per match are 14th. Miller will help them improve the offensive, but the director general of Rangers, Chris Drury, should shake up the trees to ask for help in their own area.
The goalkeeper of the star Igor Shesterkin did not have an ideal season, displaying a GAA of 2.89 and a percentage of stops of .907 in 37 appearances. But he did not have a lot of aid from a blue rangers who had many tourniquet -type performances this year. While The acquisition of the veteran Will Borgen de Seattle has worked well, there are legitimate questions about what this Rangers team is capable of defensively.
Only Adam Fox, K’andre Miller and Borgen have not been over 5 against 5, and even Borgen is in the process of upset, according to Naturalstattrick.com. The third pair of Urho Vaakanainen Or Zac Jones with Braden Schneider authorizes the most drawn attempts against 60 minutes in the team, according to Moneypuck.com.
If the Rangers have been chances and make the STANLEY Cup qualifiers, they will almost be a joker team. Does anyone think that their “d” will be something other than Swiss cheese if he faces elite offenses like those of Washington’s Capitals, Caroline Hurricanes, Florida Panthes or Maple Leafs of Toronto? No, they will be dominated.
They need another commercial addition to the rear. But what defensive defender of the commercial block can satisfy the specific need of Rangers? In the opinion of this writer, there is not much, if necessary. The defender of the Blue Jackets of Columbus, Ivan provorov, surfaced in commercial rumors earlier in the season, but they are currently in a joker point, five points ahead of the Rangers. Rasmus Ristolainen on the philadelphia flyers was also a subject of commercial rumor, but GM Daniel Briere said Ristolainen had been good for the teamAnd he doesn’t do it shopping.
Rangers are also full of elite prospects of swinging in a trade. They have two first circles in the next three sketches, but it will take a lot to overpanize other teams for defensive defenders who go beyond needles and convince a team to exchange this type of player.

There is still time for the Rangers coach Peter Laviolette to understand how to run the defense of his team, but he must do it soon. The Rangers must also hope that the five teams in front of them in the joker to collapse.
Miller was certainly not a bad acquisition. It was a business solid enough for them. But the defensive gaps of the Rangers are quite obvious, and no team will save them.
