Player Discussion K'Andre Miller

[SA16]

No toolbox.


Mancini has shown us that is a much better thinker already than Miller and he does not even know his own club yet let alone the opposition . Miller is clueless . I doubt he ever puts it together .

Mancini is not even close to the quality of player Miller is. Perhaps what he has shown us is that being a "better thinker" is not the only thing that matters.

I think Schneider is their second best defenseman, and it's not that close.

From the first few glimpses of Mancini handling the puck in the O zone I just have to think he does have that coolness & confidence in his game . That is stuff that is hard to teach at the pro level....you have it or you don't I think . Miller just might end up wanting too much money which I don't blame him for asking as he is still human and they might move him out.....although I doubt it happens and hopefully he settles in with a solid partner and has a decent Ranger career which is good for all of us /team . I don't see Mancini being a bottom tier guy for long in the scope of things .

Lots of young guys come in here and look like future Norris Trophy winners in the beginning. DelZotto, Skjei, Deangelo, even Miller his first year, and the list goes on and on. I think Mancini has potential but it's too soon to know for sure what they have in him. But I will say, I'd take Schneider over Miller all day every day.

I dunno man, I don't remember thinking any of the guys you mentioned were anywhere close to future Norris winners. Del Zotto may have been the most promising, but even at his best his defensive game was subpar, so he'd have always required Karlsson-level production to even sniff it.

Before Fox, the only guy I can remember showing that potential in this century has been McDonagh.

I wasn't being literal, I'll rephrase to say they looked like guys that would be fixtures on the team for a long time but it never really clicked.
