Cash or Czech Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 My biggest issue with K'Andre is how the hell we're gonna fit him under the cap when his ELC is up after next season. We aren't clearing any significant space by UFA departure. Maybe a combination of a Lindgren-esque bridge deal and a raising cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Probably not the best thing to have all our D men so high on this list, but damn that's impressive by K'Andre. 0.5 higher than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super surprised to see Makar towards the bottom. Dude is pure offense Also not surprised with Miller being at the top with his crazy ass reach. Where's Hedman btw?

True, but if you look at JFresh's offensive stats Makar is running away with them all. My guess is Tampa are rarely pinned in their own zone, so he doesn't have to break up plays in the D-zone all too much. They also just played 4 games in round 2, so it's a small sample size for him.

LindG1000 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yeah, I think what that data tells you is that the Rangers spend a lot of time at 5v5 in their own zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup 100%. We have all our D men there lol. Still, Miller’s number is really good, and it matches the eye-test. He’s slowly turning into an elite shutdown D, which is perfect since we have enough offense in Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog99 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Not deep into all the numbers and stuff...but doesnt K'andre have to be the priority over anyone else at this point, including laf, kakko and chytill?

RichieNextel305 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This has been a coming out party. He has looked like a veteran throughout the playoffs. Looks totally calm under all this intense pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 He reminds me of a young Marc Staal. Cool, calm and collective out there. Is hardly ever out of position and has a great reach and poke check. Really like this kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSNY1 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) K’Andre is pretty close to untouchable. Probably Rangers best all around defenseman and only going to get better Edited June 12, 2022 by CSNY1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I'll say this about Miller: He can defend so well on the rush, up there with the best of them. Great at breaking up plays before they happen. But if you estalish possession in the zone on him, he's clueless. I don't know how much of it has to do with Trouba (who is shocking in the d zone), but it I lost count of the amount of times Miller loses his guy in coverage or makes the wrong play on a clearing attempt leading to extended zone time for the other team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with this and I'll also say that I'm not even sure if he's even great defending off the rush, he takes them awful routes but makes up for it with his skating, length, and athleticism. He'll be OK, but he needs to be coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can clean those things up. The combination of size, speed, reach is excellent. Even if he doesn’t progress quickly he’s still a quality 2nd pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With proper coaching, more experience playing defense his positioning can only improve plus the fact he is only 22 years old and will fill out and become stronger Miller has the potential and is well on his way to become a top defenseman in the league Edited June 12, 2022 by CSNY1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
