Player Discussion K'Andre Miller

[ReddestRum]

So how long will k be out?

Until he's traded so it "makes the team better".

This team.

Better.

Lol.

Hopefully he played his last game as a Ranger and they are close to a deal.

Funny reading the first few pages of this. I remember some Victor Hedman comparisons.

It’s a shame he’s become Tom Poti 2.0.

Hopefully! Between Schneider getting worked by LA's bust, Jones constant idiotic pinching, and Lindgren being Lindgren (But he plays with heart, right?), getting rid of KAM makes our D so much better. I mean, he's so bad that he makes our D still shit when he's not even playing. What a bum. Lol.

It's time. Miller always flashed the potential but never had the heart nor toolbox to put it all together, aside from 22-23. A nice project who is an NHL player but not as a Top 4 defenseman on a cup contending team.

I’d like to see him under a different coaching staff. He was so promising under Gallant and co.

Since Laviolette came in he’s been trash .

Miller looked great under coaches who had no system. Telling imo. Not that I think Laviolette is great. Firing Housley shoud be Drury's next move to get the heat off tbh.

I'm a Miller fan, but I have to admit that a second weak season in a row is not looking good. I still hate the idea of trading him. Who is going to play his minutes ? He's been a 5-on-5 workhorse since week 2 of his rookie season. He is out there practically every shift after a PP or PK, and every other shift in the last few minutes when defending a lead.

Again, who replaces his minutes ? Alex Vlasic or Bowen Byran aren't going to magically appear on the Rangers. What, Gavrikov at 40 million ? Pettersson for slightly less, Pionk for a lot more ? Orlov is probably also looking for one more big contracts, looks like a perfect target for the typical two years too long and 1 mil too much caphit type of UFA contract, with county club membership.

If Miller never played for Rangers, he'd be the exactly kind of player that the roster building thread would've been fantasizing about non-stop for 4+ years now.

Sooner isn't soon enough to trade this guy.

Anyone who was ever comparing K'Andre Miller to Victor Hedman really needs to undergo psychiatric evaluation/a full-panel drug test. Perhaps check their house for signs of carbon monoxide leaks or something, because that's absolutely insane.

 

[noncents]

Drury gonna get so f***in fleeced on Miller

I agree now and I agreed then.

At the time it was the “incredible physical package,” “just started playing defense,” “Hedman took awhile to be Hedman but so many similarities.”

That was like 2 years in… I remember thinking those folks were smoking some good stuff.

I did think he’d settle in as a long term 2 or 3, but alas, I’ve seen enough. He is what he is.
