J.T. Miller and the Rangers are back together again after an absence of nearly seven years, in which New York’s one-time, 15th-overall selection in the 2011 draft elevated his game and profile as he became one of the most impactful forwards in the league.
New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team has acquired forward J.T.
