Bunch of media today about how JT Miller is going to be competing for Third Line Center duties once camp opens. For the ecology of the system, it's sort of important that either Miller or Hayes or McCarthy or Oscar is the third line C, while the others, compete for some of the open wing spots. By bringing in low dollar replacements for the FA's the team lost in July, the Rangers have created a time and place where kids will be ALLOWED to step up and beat them out for jobs. JT, who was great in the AHL and never got it going in the NHL last year, is said to be in his best shape ever and has reported weeks earlier than he did last year. That's great news for the Rangers because he is talented, and the youth movement that brought us the young core of the team must continue.

I think he can do it. If he really is in shape, and grabs the #3 center slot, all the other forward positions sort of fall into place.
It would be a real tragic situation if Moore has to be the #3, as that messes the bottom 6 - badly.
I don't think it will be Moore. I think it will be Miller, Hayes or Oscar.
Hope you're right.
If Moore has to be the #3, something terrible went wrong in camp.
