New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller expresses his true feelings towards the Rangers organization while discussing his uncertain future.
On July 1 K'Andre Miller is set to become a restricted free agent as he still remains without a contract extension as of right now.
Over the last season K'Andre Millers future with the New York Rangers continuously become more unclear, due to having a down year, something he even said himself.
«There were a lot of ups and downs throughout the year and I was obviously a big part of that,» Miller said. «Didn't love how I started my season this year. I was listening to a lot of the noise. Just not really playing the game I wanted to play. I thought it was a hard season for me to kind of get a grip of how I wanted to play.»
K'Andre Miller really seemed to struggle on the defensive end, something that's kinda worrying considering many expected him to take on a big role this season.
In 74 games, the 24-year-old defenseman managed to tally seven goals, 20 assists, for a total of 27 points while averaging 21:57 minutes.
Unfortunately, now we have to wait and see if Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury still views Miller as a valuable player of the organization.
