There is no denying that K’Andre Miller had an amazing rookie season. It all culminated for the 21 year-old budding star with a spot on the NHL’s All-Rookie Team. In his first season fresh out of college he recored 12 points, a +9 rating in 53 games while averaging 21:07 a game.
To start the season, Miller was being eased into playing at the NHL level. Then Tony DeAngelo was exiled from the team after an altercation with Alexandar Georgiev and Jack Johnson was lost due to injury. This forced the Rangers to give Miller a top four role; and he performed extremely well.
