New York Rangers star defenseman K'Andre Miller is set to become an RFA at the end of the season. But GM Chris Drury and the team have yet to sign him to an extension, something that could forever change the outcome of the organization.

The New York Rangers and K'Andre Miller seem to be divided when it comes to contract negotiations when it comes to the term of his next deal.
According to reports, K'Andre Miller wants to reach free agency in two years, which may be the reason why there has been no deal reached between the two.
Though GM Chris Drury could sign him to a bridge or a "prove-it" deal, given how this situation is developing, it's difficult to see it evolve into something positive.
This is how it could play out, according to NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman, who feels that this is another reason why they're shopping him.
«They don't want to give him term, they've indicated if they sign him to an extension it's not going to be a long-term extension and that's why his name is out there,» Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said.

Given that Miller is due a raise, and after this year's performance, Drury may not be ready to pony up the cash, a fresh start may be the best ending for both parties.
Fortunately for Miller, if it does go that route, he could find himself on a rebuilding squad and get more playing time, and a chance to prove himself as the top-four defenseman he truly is.
As now, it could mean the end of a relationship if negotiations don't go as planned. Miller scored a total of 27 points (7-20) in 74 games this season.
Miller's $3.87 million AAV contract expires at the end of the season.
