J.T. Miller opens up on why he wanted to go back to the New York Rangers

J.T. MILLER IS BACK LIKE HE NEVER LEFT 🚨🚨🚨
After what was a drama filled 2024-2025 tenure for Miller, he opened up to the media about the trade and why would only waive his no-move clause to return to the Rangers.
After being drafted 15th overall back in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Rangers, he mentioned that New York has always been a special place for him and his family, and that they are countless reasons on and off the ice why this is the palce he wants to be.
In his own words:
"I would say it took a team effort to find a different place but obviously New York is a special place and couldn't be happier to be here now. Just for my family, even outside of hockey, there, there were 1,000 reasons to want to come here with the hockey team that has been one of the best teams in the league for three or four years in a row. I'm excited to be a part of it, trying to get back into the playoff picture."
