AV wants more ‘commitment’ from Miller; if not, ‘he’ll be a good minor-leaguer”

From Pat “Stop Coaching” Leonard of the New York Daily News:

Vigneault says JT Miller has to "figure it out" and show more "commitment." If he does, good. If not, "he’ll be a good minor-leaguer"

And one more from The Record’s Andrew Gross:

Regarding JT Miller being sent back to Hartford, AV says Miller needs to "figure it out," pointedly says both on and off the ice.

The Rangers announced yesterday that Miller had been assigned to the club’s AHL affiliate. In 30 NHL games this season, the 21-year-old has just three goals and three assists.

Miller was drafted 15th overall in 2011 out of the U.S. National Development program.

“I’m a pretty competitive kid,” he said at the time. “I always want to compete and I’m pretty hard to play against, so I think that’s my best attribute.”

Clearly, Vigneault would like Miller to start proving it.
