[Irishguy42]

Brendan Smith

That wasn't for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu to answer. Poop.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Miller-Keane is going to make up for all of the Staal and Girardi we've had to put up with since 2014.

Love this kid. Said it before but he was my top candidate for a breakout D+1 season. He could be a foundation piece for this franchise for years and years.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Freshman defenseman, K'Andre Miller, is now is the leading point scorer on Wisconsin.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The guy hes tied with and the guy ahead of him are also sophomore and junior aged, respectively.

 

[RGY]

Cant wait for him to get here and replace that pylon Skjei.

 

[bl02]

We said it when he was selected (I wanted him or Bokk) talk about BOOOOOOOOOOOOM potential. He's just scratching the surface and attitude means a lot this kid has a great attitude.

 

[bl02]

Goal stands, I’m going to dig as deep as I can on twitter to find a clip of that

You are the man!!!

Yeah but late 2nd rounder at best.

 

[darko]

Greatest goal ever scored by a player with no skills.

Im never going to get tired of that, one of the worst comments ever made in the history of earth.

Edit: He's also surpassed McDonagh's freshman production in this one... in 26 fewer games.

All athleticism no skill.

[SnowblindNYR]

Hes been pretty silent since kandre s been beasting this year

He can't come here and face the music. Kid can't admit that he's not an infallible scouting genius.

 

[Machinehead]

Crazy fact: He's less than 5 months younger than Chytil.

Speaks to how nuts it is that Chytil is effective in the NHL already.

 

[Fvital92]

Could he end up In Hartford next season if keeps up his currently level?

I was also admonished by said poster when I said Miller may have as much upside as any Dman in the 2018 draft not named Dahlin.

On, and oh yeah, we cannot trade Hayes for a late round pick because we'll never get a player as good as him drafting in the 20's.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Maybe but there is like zero upside to rushing this kid out of college

If they think he’s ready, I guess I’m okay but I’d rather he stay put for now. He hasn’t been playing defense very long, and Wisconsin is a great place for him to develop

The team also needs to figure out their LD logjam. It’ll become more clear in a year or two. My opinion he should stay at least another season, and maybe two

 

[Inferno]

I didn’t see it coming together this quick, I thought he was a lot more raw than he’s shown to be so far

I liked the puck, just not necessarily the price paid to trade up for it.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Let the kid keep developing in the NCAA. Give him at least another year to continue to learn the position.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

We said it when he was selected (I wanted him or Bokk) talk about BOOOOOOOOOOOOM potential. He's just scratching the surface and attitude means a lot this kid has a great attitude.

I remember sitting next to this Blues fan when we got close to the no 21 pick and I was hyping Bokk saying I wanted him and then we traded up. I was excited. I was convinced it was for Bokk! We went with Miller, and then the Blues picked Bokk. The guy thanked me for unintentionally informing him about his team's new prospect haha

 

[Kovalev27]

My preference would def be a second year in college however if he finishes around a ppg and continues to dominate it’s almost impossible to justify leaving him there when he should probably be a pro. What he’s doing as a freshman dman right now is ridiculous

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Could he end up In Hartford next season if keeps up his currently level?

He'd really have to continue to crush it in order to go pro.

Wisco has a huge, huge class coming in next season. Think it would probably benefit him to stay an additional year and continue to grow while playing for what should be a very good team.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Since 2000, K'Andre Miller has the 4th highest PPG average among 18-year old D-men in the NCAA. I know it's still early, but if he keeps this up, he will have a pretty historic season

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I liked the puck, just not necessarily the price paid to trade up for it.

This is fair, though if this keeps up no one will care.

Also @Pavel Buchnevich , Sup?

 

[Lays]

Feels good to look back and see I had him at like 14-15 iirc
It’s insane how well he’s doing, and he’s 6’4, once he fills out he’ll be a stud
There’s no need to rush him though, our left side is filled already with Skjei, Hajek, Staal, Smith, Lindgren, Rykov etc
