All he needs to do is be dependable in his own zone and maybe chip in 5-7 goals and 20-25 points and most will be pleased.
It’s to bad because he and Heinola would have complimented each other quite well on the 3rd pairing.

Hopefully he's DeMelo with a little more offense, if that happens it's another good trade by Chevy.

We need a point shot threat on one of our PPs. Please give him a chance over pionk.

I’ve liked Miller since his first year in Vegas when he was picked up in that (17) expansion draft.

He does have a hell of a shot, as it stands right now I think he is part of the 6 D unit.
Well according to some he was so pissed off about his usage he would NEVER sign with us
What I got excited about last night was his pp qb'ing. I knew he has a bomb but his pick movement and footwork at the blueline was a bit of a surprise.
I can only hope the coaches are more creative and run 2 pp schemes. Pp1 can be possession, looking for seams and one it's, and pp2 can be a point shot pp with some beef in the slot.
That's going to cause some adjustments for the opposition pks and hopefully mistakes

Encouraging post, would love to see your scheme in play.
Liked him last year in his brief minutes, thought he showed well in the PO game he got. A solid, smart vet with a shot seems like a nice replacement for Schmitty.

It's nice to say that but you need a skater back there too...Teams will attack a slow footed d-man, Schmidtty was a prime example. That shot he blasted into Lauko's shin pads for a breakaway goal would have also caught the coach's attention. And is the danger of not having a skater (like Heinola) out there.
Yup, a dmen needs to be able to open the big shot. Teams are very good at getting into lanes on the pk.

Yeah that's what stood out to me too. Can't say I noticed much of that in the sheltered minutes he played last season but it was certainly on full display yesterday. But I'd say he seems dynamic enough to play either of those PP options effectivelyWell according to some he was so pissed off about his usage he would NEVER sign with us

I really wanted to like Miller and was excited to see him on the PP BUT.... Having seen him in person he is not that guy. Hoping it was early season rust and that my impressions are dead wrong. He has a cannon for a shot but his decision processing was really slow. Early in the season, I know but I don't know what you guys saw that I didn't.
