The K’Andre Miller trade rumors are continuing to pick up steam.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman originally reported that the New York Rangers are beginning to explore the trade market on Miller.
At the NHL Draft Combine, Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects provided some more insight into this report.
“One player whose name keeps popping up at the Combine is K'Andre Miller,” Robinson wrote via X. “I'm told the Rangers have let teams know he's available, but clubs are weighing that option versus the Offer Sheet route. Appears to be significant interest in the 25-year-old.”
Miller is set to become a restricted free agent on July 1 and a contract extension has still not been agreed upon while it’s unclear where negotiations stand at this point in time.
“Kind of hard to talk about my future here,” Miller said during his exit interview. “I have a great agent who is going to help me throughout this summer’s process. I love being a New York Ranger. I think this has been some of the best years of my life. These past five years have been unforgettable in about every aspect you can think of. That’s all I really have to comment on.”
Miller’s future in New York is as uncertain as it has ever been as Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury will be tasked with a difficult decision regarding the young defenseman.
