As the kids on the Rangers grow, the status quo needs to be revisited from time to time. Much focus has been on the forward lines, but it might be time to swap the NY Rangers defense pairs. The pairs have been largely untouched unless there’s an injury, especially in the top-four. But with K’Andre Miller emerging as a top pair defenseman and Jacob Trouba’s struggles, it might be time to give them a new look.
The major driver behind this conversation isn’t even Trouba. It’s Miller. No disrespect to Ryan Lindgren, who is a top pairing defenseman in his own right, Miller is simply better.
