Oh, I thought you said something about Jones being better than him always. Maybe I mixed up posters, sorry!
Foolish of you to think he'd even be out thereThat's fine. That just sets up the Kakko hat-trick into an empty net.

All of that was chatter over the span of a couple months. Before that, everyone assumed he'd be in the NHL for at least a year, and even when camp broke, we were all prepared to be pissed off if Johnson kept him from getting a shot.
As to your question--when Miller stops showing regular growth in his game from year to year, it can start to be removed from the discussion. He keeps growing as a defenseman. When that stops, we'll have a sense of who he will be long term as a player.
This team has lacked a killer instinct for a long time.I hate their shifts after goals a lot.
