LD K'Andre Miller (2018, 22nd, NYR)

[dwanmaster*]

You probably won't hear about him for a bit, but I wanted to be the one to make the thread about him.

Silky smooth skating forward from Minnetonka, Minnesota

Should be a top candidate for the NTDP '00 class.

Jeez... I feel old hearing about these guys born in 2000, and I was only in kindergarten when they were born.

Any video you could provide?

I thought he was a forward? He and Jaxon Nelson are the most hyped 2000s in MN right now, but Miller isn't putting up a ton of points yet.

 

[S E P H]

He is a forward and is already 6'2" at 14 years old.

And there are rumours he could potentially committ with Golden Gophers soon, but also speaking he will most definitely be drafted in the next WHL bantam draft. So there is a lot for him to think about in the future on which route he wants to go.

Maybe not a top 10-15 talent currently, but definitely a potential 1st rounder. Good player.

 

[dwanmaster*]

I thought he played both positions. Just checked hockeyhub though and you're right he's listed as a forward

Can't sign a scholarship for a long time

He can commit, which is probably what he meant. The Gophers have at least 3 '99s committed. I expect Nelson would commit before he does, though.

 

[JJTT]

Cool name.

 

[North Country]

He splits at both D and Forward. Good size, probably 6'2 - 6'3 range, has a very good shot and really understands the game. Will be fun to watch his progression.

 

[JayKing]

Not an NHL name. Will bust.

Wore a Habs logo so he's been blessed. It's all good.

Miller scored twice yesterday, and added an assist, in the U17's preseason opener vs Muskegon .. off to a good start.

At 18:22, Tyler Weiss (Raleigh, N.C.) connected with Miller in the high slot, and he fired a wrister to cut the Team USA deficit to 3-2 heading into the final period.

Miller added his second of the night with a rocket from the top of the right circle to knot the game at 3-3.

I think this guy is going to end up a first rounder.

He has the Brady Skjei starter-kit out of Minnesota. Size, skating and athleticism. Very projectable, could develop into a top pairing defenseman, if the offense and defense catches up to the physical tools.

 

[cgf]

I'm hoping he makes it to the top of the second so the avs can nab him the way they have Bigras, Meloche & Timmins at the top of the second in years past...even if the team is lucky enough to nab Dahlin or McIsaac with their first.

Really big fan of McIsaac, think he's gonna be a top pair D. Miller could get to round 2, considering how strong this draft is.

 

[Tryamkin]

Favourite player in the class. He's the perfect new age defenseman. I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped to midnfirst by the end of the year. I like the Brady Skjei comparison. Uses his size well but if he can just round out his offense and defense, wow. Top pairing guy.

I finished high-school in 2000. SHUT UP!

 

[Lays]

I finished high-school in 2000. SHUT UP!

I was born in 2000 lol

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I was born in 2000 lol

Thats pretty surprising.

Your posts are really articulate for a high schooler. I was not that articulate when I was your age, which was only four years ago.

Maybe you can someday replace some of our terrible beat-reporters on the Rangers beat.

 

[Martinez]

I know he's still learning defense and all but I'd like to see more offense from him

 

[57special]

Providing offense shouldn't be a big problem for him.

 

[Tryamkin]

Providing offense shouldn't be a big problem for him.

Agreed, I prefer that he focuses on his defense right now as he is.

 

[Martinez]

Agreed, I prefer that he focuses on his defense right now as he is.

I can agree with that. Committing to Wisconsin is a great situation for him, when he finally goes there

 

[Constable]

Seems like a guy some teams are going to regret passing on late 1st.

 

[wings5]

Whats with his offensive stats? Is he not being put in an offensive role or is his offensive upside limited?
