New York Rangers newly acquired forward reveals the real reasoning behind waiving his no-movement clause and wanting to return to the Rangers organization.
New York Rangers newly acquired forward J.T. Miller wasted no time making his presence known with the Rangers organization as he managed he found the back of the net twice during his re-debut.
Less than 24 hours after being traded, Miller managed to score two goals during the Rangers unfortunate 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon.
Miller started his career back in 2012-13 season with the New York Rangers and now he's back in The Big Apple after six years, which he couldn't be any happier about.
The 31-year-old forward believes in this team's potential and is confident they can work their way back into the playoffs.
Here's what Miller had to say about wanting to return to the Rangers:
«I would say it took a team effort to find a different place but obviously New York is a special place and couldn't be happier to be here now,» Miller said. «Just for my family, even outside of hockey, there, there were 1,000 reasons to want to come here with the hockey team that has been one of the best teams in the league for three or four years in a row. I'm excited to be a part of it, trying to get back into the playoff picture.»
It took no time at all for head coach Peter Laviolette to find confidence in Miller as he quickly inserted him into a prominent role. He recorded 18:48 minutes and played on even joint the team's first power play unit.
For the majority of the afternoon, Miller served as the center on a line with Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad.
Definitely a real game-changer for the New York Rangers, hopefully this will help the Rangers secure a playoff spot.
