With news that K’Andre Miller, New York Rangers defenseman, is on the trade block, there could be some interesting suitors involved. One could be the Calgary Flames, who have a veteran who could add significant presence to the blue line, and put them back in win-now territory with Rasmus Andersson.K’Andre Miller‘s name has been swirling in recent trade rumors, and he could find himself in a new home by July, depending on how Chris Drury plays his cards.
Recent reports suggest that trade talks could be ramping up, while other teams would prefer to send him an offer sheet as he will be an RFA upon the expiry of his contract.
With the Flames’ rebuild moving forward and plenty of defenseman in the pipeline to fill the ranks, they will have to consider what to do with Rasmus Andersson.
A swap between Miller and Andersson would solve an issue the Flames have at the moment. An imbalance between defenders.
Moving Andersson for Miller would be one way of clearing out the aging right-defense core and preparing for the future, which Miller would be a part of on the left side.
best defensive prospects are all right-handers. This means that if the Flames want to play all their best right-handers, they must either play them on their weak side (as Weegar has been doing much of the 2024-25 season, with Miromanov on his strong side) or play them with significantly weaker accompaniment, or both.
Miller is used to eating big minutes on the ice and is a positive contributor on the offensive side of the puck. He’s a big physical forward who can hit, skate, and shoot.
Under Ryan Huska, he could find a return to form and find himself playing big minutes in Calgary and possibly finding his game again, in a low-pressure environment with the Flames.
Miller would strengthen the team’s left-side defense and let the right-handers play their natural style instead of forcing them to their weak side.
While the Rangers would get a smart, two-way defenseman who could help push the needle later in the year when they need it the most.
