Grading the J.T. Miller Trade: Breaking Down the Rangers’ Blockbuster Deal
Did the Rangers just pull off a masterclass in asset management or set themselves up for long-term trouble? We dive deep into the J.T. Miller trade, its implications, and the road ahead.
Too little too late, you say? I disagree. I think there are longer tentacles of this trade that need to be examined, and having a few games of J.T. Miller under our belt has allowed us to see a glimmer into the thought processes that we would be grading anyway.
Below the jump we'll get into the actual grade of the trade, how I think Miller impacts this team both in the short and long term. (Spoiler alert: This is not a win-now move, and I actually think Drury expects this team to have a real shot of missing the playoffs. And that's all part of the plan).
More on Filip Chytil, as well, what the Rangers got back in Brannstrom, and how I think this trade will grade out depending on other summer things that need to happen.
Here we go...
