There's definitely some confusion/disagreement on who you'd choose for your NHL franchise, and who you would choose for a 2 week tournament.
Guys like Domi and Duclair, Galchenyuk (another immensely overrated player), are inevitably going to be better players than Miller in the long run. But for a short tournament before the season starts, not necessarily.
Miller was chosen because he's a bull on skates, can play physical, forecheck hard, and still has a decent pair of hands to score. A guy like Duclair would look miserable on NAs 4th line. Another one is Druoin - he scored but he's been pretty invisible paired with two elite, well established NHL players. He also has very little experience aside from his recent playoff run (which was damn impressive though).
Once again, Miller is not even top 15 of the young North American forwards I would take for the Rangers in the long term. But I think he would do a fine job, and better than a few other players, if he wasn't fighting an uphill battle from the start. Not the end of the world though, it's a an honor for him to make this team.
Galchenyuk is overrated?
Enlighten me.
If Miller put up the points Galch put up this year, and Penguins fans offered us Crosby for Miller, everyone on this board would scream bloody murder and that it's a terrible deal for the Rangers.

^^^ and you're more worked up about this than anyone else.
Apologies for the civil discussion that was taking place on a hockey forum above you. Before you started dropping damns.
oh no a damn!
This board argues intensely about pretty much everything at the drop of a hat and it's been worse leading up to training camp
I don't understand the second part of your post (was this an HF proposal I missed?) but I think you glossed over the part where I said that I would still take Galchenyuk over Miller. He is not the superstar in the making people talk him up to be though.
We need some club music here while waiting on 3rd period.

I haven't seen anyone claim Galch to be a superstar, but it's easy to say players not on your team who are actually quite good are overrated.
