3 Potential Trade Destinations for Rangers' K'Andre Miller

The New York Rangers are a team to watch leading up to the NHL trade deadline Friday, as GM Chris Drury is in sell mode with a focusing on re-tooling in a hurry. Which means, pending restricted free agent K'Andre Miller could surprisingly be in play.

Miller is 25, he's still full of untapped potential, and so far this season, has averaged 21:50 of ice-time per game, posting 16 points. Miller's been used mostly in a shut-down role, but some see a new opportunity for him to play different minutes, and in more of a two-way style, could help propel him to new heights.

Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli recently updated his trade targets board and Miller made the list:

With the entire defense corps in-flux outside of Adam Fox and Braden Schneider, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Miller is moved before March 7. Given his rare combination of size and athleticism, lots of teams would love to get their hands on the insanely gifted Miller. The flashes of brilliance are there but he just hasn’t been able to put it all together on a consistent enough basis.

As far as potential trade destinations go, there'd be a long list of teams interested if Miller is indeed on the block. The Edmonton Oilers stand out as a potential suitor, along with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, and St. Louis Blues.

Miller is owed $3.8 million this season and does not hold any trade protection. It will take a significant couple of pieces for Drury to consider moving him, as the Rangers aren't interested in draft picks and prospects.
