Rangers Trade Up to 22 for D K'Andre Miller
Love this move. Rangers had to give up picks 26 and 48 (their second second rounder. Anyway, 2 years ago K'Andre, who's from Minnesota and the US Development Program, was a forward. He volunteered to play D and has become a lockdown, nasty defender. He's scheduled to go to Wisconsin next year. He comes from really tough circumstances, where he and his single mom had to find ways to keep his expensive hockey career going. Now look where he is. He's thought to have offensive upside, but used the past two years to become a stay at home guy and master the craft. Great pick. Still have pick 28.
I should mention that he is 6'4" and 200, and blew up the Combine, like Kreider and McDonagh.
