Prospect Info: 2018 NHL Draft / Pick #22 - K'Andre Miller (D) - Part II

[GeorgeKaplan]

To borrow from @Amazing Kreiderman ‘s idea, and only because I heard the announcers say Wisconsin has 42 goals for so far this year, Miller has been a part of 40.48% of his team’s goals this season

I think I might have to revise this because the announcers just said that empty net goal was the 42nd goal they scored at home this year (so now I don’t know what they were going on about before), so I’ll go through the schedule in a second and add up the goals

Edit: so I counted 51 GF Wisconsin this season, and Miller has 17 points which accounts for 33.33% of Wisconsin’s goals this season

Just keep asking what defenseman Anaheim is about to draft then draft him first.

Seriously, there’s a few high end defensemen factories out there and Anaheim’s one of the better ones

He's right where he should for his development but its gonna be f***ing awesome when i get a K'Andre jersey for when he makes his debut on broadway.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I'm gonna get killed for ruining End Game here but K'Andre Miller defeats Thanos.

I’m gonna get killed for ruining Game Of Thrones here but K’Andre Miller defeats the Night King.

 

[Irishguy42]

I would gladly take a bullet for K'andre Miller

I hated what we gave up to move up just a couple spots.. But man, our scouts look like ****ing geniuses right now.

Miller is creeping his way into Kravtsov/Shesterkin/Chytil potential, but from our blue line.

I’ve honestly been thinking all day that Miller is our 2018 version of picking Chytil, two super raw kids with big upside picked with our second first round pick who go on to take a huge step in their development over the summer

Well we already know he killed all the horcruxes and Voldemort...so that would be the next step in his development.

I’d argue his ceiling is the highest of any player in our organization, and among the highest of any prospect league wide.

If everything clicks, the dude is Chris Pronger.

I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone else. I think the best way to describe what he was predraft and what he is now is the old HF rankings where he’d be like a 9.0D/F and now he’d be a 9.0B

No way. I like Miller's potential, but a 9 on the old HF scale is a franchise defenseman.

Predraft, he was more of an 8.0 D. Now I have him as a 8.0 C. An 8 would be a first pair defenseman.

Nice comparison. Minus the snarl but hey is super young and that can still come for sure.

I didn’t remember what the numbers actually meant, I just using a 9.0 as a kind of ‘huge potential’ place holder

Don’t disagree one bit. He’s the guy that, in 5 years, people will say, why wasn’t he drafted higher..?

We know what that reason is. Question marks. Uncertainty.

I love our draft strategy these last two years.. But it hasn’t been consistent. They go with a safe, non flashy player with Andersson @7. Chytil on the other hand was swinging for the fences.

Gorton and company did the same thing last draft with Kravtsov + K’Andrea.

I ultimately approve.

I flew American airlines down to south Florida today for the game and they had whole unedited games of thrones eps for free to watch. Its definitely a sign that k'andre is destined for greatness.

That’s actually pretty ****ing awesome for a AA’s flight!

Usually you get Dances With Wolves or When Harry Met Sally crap. (Although DWW’s is watchable, long as you don’t light yourself on fire and fall from a second story apartment before getting runned over).

Nashville the other

[GeorgeKaplan]

Nashville the other

Definitely, those two are probably the top 2, then I’d say Carolina and Minnesota and maybe the Flames are right behind them

Dances with Wolves is very good.

Great movie. Just keep the blunt away from anything flammable.

You will fall asleep watching it if you’re older than 28.

Don't think he'll have that nasty streak that Pronger had.
