If JT Miller is injured, then he needs to sit and heal - Blue Seat Blogs

"On pace for under 40 points on the season, Miller is at the center of all the Rangers struggles on offense this season. With just four goals and nine points through the first 20 games, the Rangers look to have acquired 2017-2018 Miller and not 2024-2025 Miller. Rumblings that JT Miller is injured, and has been since the preseason, have taken center stage as we try to explain away his struggles. But if JT Miller is injured, then he needs to sit."

"When the Rangers sent Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and what was eventually the 12th overall pick to Vancouver for Miller and Jackson Dorrington, the Rangers were supposed to be getting their new 1C, shifting Mika Zibanejad to either wing or down in the lineup. Fate, it seems, it not without a sense of irony. Miller's nine points put him on track for 16 goals and 37 points over 82 games."

JT Miller has four goals and nine points through the first 20 games, projecting roughly 16 goals and 37 points over an 82-game season. The Rangers' offense is struggling, and Miller occupies a central role in those struggles after being acquired to serve as the new first-line center. Rumblings indicate Miller has been injured since the preseason and is playing through the ailment; if that injury is present, he should sit. Mika Zibanejad has outperformed expectations and looks more engaged while Miller drives possession and quality chances but is not delivering top-line scoring.
