\t\t\t\t\tLongtime New York Rangers analyst Larry Brooks has suggested that the team could name JT Miller, who was re-acquired this year, as their new captain and official successor to ex-Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why Naming Miller Captain Could Signal a Culture Shift for the Rangers<\/p>\n It followed a period of tension between Trouba and Rangers management led by GM Chris Drury, who reportedly threatened to waive him if he didn’t accept a trade.<\/p>\n Months later, the Rangers re-acquired JT Miller from the Vancouver Canucks; he was taken by the Rangers with the 15th pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n Per longtime Rangers analyst Larry Brooks of The New York Post, the Rangers should name Miller their new captain and the successor to Trouba.<\/p>\n The captain’s sweater is not just another piece of laundry. It represents the organization’s ethos. The Rangers acquired J.T. Miller<\/a> to change the team culture. The 32-year-old is hard-edged and can be abrasive. That is the identity the Blueshirts should adopt.<\/p>\n JT Miller Expected to Be Named Captain of the New York Rangers, Less Than a Year After Trade From Vancouver<\/p>\n The Canucks traded Miller to the Rangers, who took him in the 1st round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, for Filip Chytil<\/a>, Victor Mancini, and a 1st round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n Miller returned to the place where he began his NHL career, and had 35 points (13G, 22A) in the 32 games he played after the trade.<\/p>\n If Miller does become captain of the Rangers, he would be the 29th player in team history to wear the “C” on his sweater.<\/p>\n Previously on HouseOfHockey<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 5 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0112 ANSWERS<\/p>\n New York Rangers Expected to Make Controversial Decision With New Captain, Per Longtime Analyst<\/p>\n Would JT Miller be the right fit as Rangers captain?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHOUSEOFHOCKEY.NET
