Good signing especially when teams are paying $3-4M for a 3rd pairing defenseman today.
Imo I think the only reason Bones did not play Miller more is Bones doesn’t like to change the lineups that much.
I am surprised Miller signed here but I guess he liked practicing with the guys and got along with them.

When you are a NHL journeyman you take the paydays as you can. If 2 X $1.5M is the best the market has to offer you take it.

Yup, feels small on a day that the owners spent more than a billion but at the end of the day earning 3 million dollars for two years of work isn't so bad

I'd be happy to make that in 20 years. This is US dollars we are talking about!

Pretty good money for a few minutes of work. I'd always assumed I'd have to spend the night with a disgraced former US President to make that kind of bank

This wins the internet today.

Maybe he'll get a chance to play this time.

His one playoff game was a good impression...his regular season work produced some of the worst metrics on defense along with substandard special teams results.

Miller's now only one of 2 Jets players who have been in a Stanley Cup final on this team, though the other, De Melo, was only a black ace in San Jose's 2016 run.

Ok signing. With Bones gone, maybe the new head coach will actually use him.

As much as I hate to assume this, given the basic concept of advanced statistics... you're using fancy stats from his five games with the Jets?

His new jersey numbers were solid

Yes I am, with the -2 as a caveat...just to underline that he didn't exactly play himself into a starting role for the playoffs. One of those games was paired with Morrissey IIRC and it didn't go well...But he was some much needed edge in the playoffs, so maybe the adaptation to systems or personnel was off, because I think we got a good 3rd pairing d-man today.

 

[The Blue Baron]

How nice of the Jets to pay the man but will they actually play him?

 

[Thechozen1]

Surprised he even gave the Jets a second thought. I was upset for him after the trade deadline.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

They guy that wasn't good enough to see the ice and was behind Nate Shit, and Logan Stanley.

Off season accomplishments so far: Downgrade Head Coach. Downgrade goaltending. Downgrade defense. Long shot draft picks.

Come on, Chevy.

 

[LowLefty]

That just means Pionk plays less. All for it.

Mossey - Melo
Snerg - Pionk
Heinola - Miller
Stanley

I could get behind that.

I agree - this leaves Ville on the left side and gives him a fighting chance in sticking.

 

[Whileee]

I like this. He's been an effective D, isn't too old, and has a bomb of a shot (which the Jets lack).

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Surprised he even gave the Jets a second thought. I was upset for him after the trade deadline.

Agreed. But we gave him 3 million reasons to get over it.

 

[Huffer]

Surprised this was an option, but at this price adding a vet RHD looks like a good move.

 

[Eyeseeing]

As long as one of them is Stanley.

I don’t think even @Whileee could polish this turd

You mean the Whileee that predicted that the Jets would hang with the Stars and Avs last season, based on roster strength?

I think the Jets made mistakes in going slower with Monahan and Toffoli, and probably should have used Miller more in the playoffs (especially with the Avs).

But the regular season, I think my assessment was pretty much bang on...

Sorry Whileee I was meaning Logan Stanley in particular.
Showing stats that made him seem good.
I think it’s time to retire for the evening.
I picked the Jets to finish 3rd last year in the central.
You were very close

Stroke of genius by Chevy to tell Bowness not to play Miller after we got him so he could sign him to a cheap contract this year.
