Around the NHL 2024-25 regular season Part II

Probably. Wasn’t there some talk of them considering trading Pettersson too?

That was an either or situation with Miller. If they were going to trade both then it wouldn't make sense to trade for Marcus Pettersson and Drew O'Connor. A Pettersson trade would mean a complete rebuild because their top center would be Filip Chytil at that point.

“noted locker room cancer” because he had a public feud with one player on the canucks.

the rangers don’t care what they look like in 3 years. they’ll find a loser team to gobble up his contract and give them a mid round pick like they always do.

dramatically changes their math this year and next year. Philip Chytil is a 3rd line center with a bad back. He’s nothing.

I think this move makes sense for the Rangers, they want to win now. When motivated Miller can be a real difference maker.

I didn’t want him NJ because the red flags are to numerous.

It’s not just this feud. He was asshole on other teams.

He also feuded with Horvat and it’s one of the reasons he got traded on Jan 1st 2023.





Also, Miller took that mysterious month leave of absence that might have been suspension over some drama with Tocchet.

Miller tends to play great when things are going well, but and then turn into a huge problem, while playing worse, when his team struggles.

Gotta hope ovie gets this record this year. It’s a real driving force and once he gets it could deflate them at the worst possible time right before the playoffs. Dont think he will get it though

This used to bother me but now I’m ok with it.
