[eviohh26]

This guy has single handedly f***ed this team. Just bench him till we trade him. f*** him.

Ice time is literally the only cudgel current NHL coaches have. It's the only tool they have for accountability.

If Miller quits when he's held accountable, then talent-level be damned, he's a negative impact on a team.

Also, Miller, at his best, is a fantastic player. But he's not even close to comparable to Draisaitl.

They started the game this way?

Draisaitl is just who he is for our PP not a direct player comp

Do you have insight on his mental and physical health issues this year?

Funny seeing everyone here dumping on Miller.. tied with EP in points with less games played. Almost 4 million dollars more a year for EP. Miller and his family love being here in Vancouver, and he wants to win here. As a fan I want that over whatever petterson brings to the table but that's just me

A trade is going to be tricky. Miller should get a great return even under the circumstances but you need roster players in return to compete for the post season

To sell right now doesnt seem realistic (at least Ive never seen any team on the cusp of the playoffs become sellers 45 games in)

Miller actually seemed to open up a bit here. Kind of sad how people go from chanting his names and calling him the heartbeat of this team to trashing the guy based on half a season. He's clearly going through it and I’m still hoping he can turn it around.

Starting to look like he might've needed more time away.

Maybe should've waited until the 4 Nations break to return.

I honestly don't think he deserves that much criticism. Being his age and state, he wants to win, but seeing teammates like Pettersson taking it easy and getting that much from his contract, there bound to be some salt.

None of these guys should be playing in the tournament.

Like on merit or because @CanucksSayEh says so?

Yes

Well when one takes a leave of absence (likely) due to mental health issues it might not be possible to simply turn on the switch.

We dont know why he was sent home.

Ah now you post in the EP thread makes sense.
