You know who’s had a really good offseason? New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury, that’s who.
And his latest move, naming J.T. Miller captain of the Rangers, is just further proof of how Drury has done a 180 from the previous summer.
Now, we can debate the merits of Miller being handed the C instead of, say, Vincent Trocheck or Adam Fox. Time will tell if this was the best choice by the Rangers.
But here’s what’s to like about it. The timing of the decision was assertive. Now there won’t be any ongoing questions throughout training camp about who’s going to be next captain or even if a new captain will be named.
