The Rangers announced this morning that they have agreed to terms with their 2011 first round pick JT Miller. The Rangers drafted Miller with the 15th overall pick in the entry draft last month. Miller is expected to play for the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL this season however he is eligible to play in the AHL at some point because he wasn't drafted out of the junior leagues in Canada. This is interesting news because he weren't supposed to hear anything from this kid for at least another season. He was originally going to play in the college ranks this year at North Dakota. But recently changed his mind and committed to Plymouth.
This kid is really setting himself up to be in the NHL in a year or two. The Rangers are absolutely loaded in their farm system. The next 3-5 years are going to be really exciting to watch these kids grow and mature with the team. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see the CT Whale contend for a Calder Cup in the next season or two.
