Player Discussion K'Andre Miller

[bhamill]

Miller s a frustrating player.
He has a ton of talent and size. He’s been a good NHLer for years and won’t be 25 until Jan…
The troubling thing is he doesn’t seem to show any real improvement from year to year. So he will always leave us wanting more and never getting it.
Is that a reason to trade him? Not IMO. The only reason to trade him is if someone will pay us for the upside that we will probably never see on this club. That or he prices himself out. I’ve seen people suggest he gets 6mil, I don’t think he’s worth that. A few years ago I would have thought he’d be an almost untouchable by now. He isn’t, but he’s not a dump either. I’d trade him in the right deal but I’m not LOOKING to do so.

View attachment 924087Bro of all people here I’m telling you right now I’m the last one you wanna talk to like that, you’ve been warned, IDIOT!

#2 at best imo. No one is taking the mantle from Bern because he would have replied with some insanity and then tied the bow by calling the OP “ye olde coot!” and there are some things you just don’t recover from.

Is that a challenge?

How hard is it to find a team to trade with who needs an offensive minded Dman ?

And yet keep Lindgren who is objectively far worse?

The hair dying thing is old man yelling at cloud nonsense.

Maybe, I don't really care if he dyes his hair blonde. But to win the Cup, you need to have players who are laser-focused on winning championships. It just turns me off that he comes to camp with the hair dyed blonde and starts the year hesitating on pinches and getting beat to the front of the net out of the corner game in and game out. When that happens, coincidences get correlated. He hasn't been good, regardless what the advanced stats say.

This is the first time I've heard someone raging because of an athlete styling his hair.

Some of you need more than one hobby.

Why is never in front of his own net? Has anyone ever told him that's his area?

That's why he looks like he's making spectacular defensive plays. He's always out of position and catching up with guys from behind.


He's a gutless player on so many levels, and he is going to ruin Fox.

Anyone who scouts the Rangers should pick up on the fact that Miller is completely unable to make any quality decisions with the puck on his stick. So he's always going to reverse to his partner whenever he is pressured or pass it to a teammate instead of taking a shot, even if they are in a worse postion than he is.

He's not a defenseman. I don't even know if he could be a forechecking forward. He won't hit. I don't know what he is. I say he's a taller, less physical Tom Poti.

He probably looks phenomenal in practice. All the testing probably looks great. If you could "wierd science build" a hockey player, I don't know if you give him better tools that he already has. But they're all for nothing when he gets in a game.

It's like he needs all the things they were looking for in the Wizard of Oz for himself. He has no courage, no heart, no brain, and he looks like a tornado swept him out of position when he's in his own zone.

He is not a foundational piece you build around. He's a bottom pair Dman on a good team. He can get you by against bottom 6 forwards but true 1st liners are going to eat his lunch every time because he doesn't have the brain to keep up with them or the will to outwork them.

They cannot afford to sign him to a big extension because he is not going to put it all together until he's about 30. You're going to pay alot of dues with him before you get to the payoff.

He's Brady Skjei 2.0. Every conceivable tool, yet always making wonder why he's not getting more out of them. Then he's going to give you one year when you can point and say "see? I told you he was good!"
And then, he will never do it again

His pairing was the only one worth a shit. They had an xGF % of 79% and everyone else got f***ing caved.

And Brady Skjei is a good defenseman what are you going on about?

My phone battery is also 79%

 

[egelband]

I thought Miller played great today. Still want Jim to be more aggressive on the attack. But all in all he was terrific today.

Lol. They don't know. The fact that Miller breathes air will rage and it must be rage when you're on only wrong about Miller, but other solid D-men in the league as well. They'll never change their tune. At least I can say I was wrong about a guy like Laf who is a goddamn stud now.

Miller has issues. 100%. However, he's not the only problem and he's not the WORST problem.

The biggest Miller critics are some of Lindgren's biggest fans.

How many face bleeds per 60 does Miller have? Checkmate.
