Great trade, at the moment. We make the playoffs, I would fully say that 1st rounder is worth it. Honestly, gotta say though...the team seems to be missing Sutter. They just started falling off when he got injured. Gaudette is scoring pretty well, but holding leads has been a problem. Makes me wonder how the future of our bottom 6 is truly gonna look. This is an interesting look. There were a few times in the 3rd where the team could've easily put out Horvat for an offensive faceoff when we had the lead, but Green chose to put Gaudette out. He risked playing with the lead against an eastern team that had lesser bearing to the standings if we gave up the point to them to give Gaudette more experience. Not saying Gaudette was the problem, but we could've gained more possession at this point and controlled the game a bit more, but then Horvat's minutes would be elevated. Looks like Green is managing minutes and trying to develop our players on the fly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borvat Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 More than just his game Miller brings a calming leadership and accountability quality. Great to have him as one of the leadership group. I wonder if they had waited to name a Captain how much consideration he would be getting at this point? Bo was the right choice but Miller would not be a bad choice to this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) This trade why I am glad Benning is the GM and I am armchairing. I love when I am proven wrong. Edited December 8, 2019 by smokes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he is better than Pettersson talent wise but Miller has that veteran presence that our young guns can look to and rely on Veteran presence at 26! Love it! This kid is like money in the bank. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way though, I was completely baffled (so the usual ) at the vitriol and negativity both here and in social media on acquiring Miller. People REALLY ought to take better looks at players they're clearly unfamiliar with and try to do a bit more critical thinking and forecasting before putting their feet SO firmly in their mouths with their hot takes and jumping on the opinions of the usual, negative 'twits' Oh well, I guess it keeps the board interesting! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reyezone Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We really should hold the media responsible for the negative spin and it’s trickle down into this fanbase and message board. It’s remarkable how little most of these goobs on the radio know about players and prospects around the league not to mention in this organization, yet they have the audacity to criticize a blockbuster trade when it happens at the draft in their own city!!! Were there any media who remained agnostic on the trade when it happened? I seem to remember all criticizing as an overpay and salivating at the opportunity to carry forward the “Dim Jim” moniker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how some people were saying we should have used our pick to get Subban instead. Subban currently has 5 points and is on one of the worst teams in the league. I can only imagine the reaction to us giving up a top 10 pick for a washed up egomaniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustABandwagoner Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) AYYYY GUYS IM READY TO GET FLAMED! Do you guys think Miller can keep this up for next season too? What kind of trade value does he have now? Must have increased, whats his value at the deadline. Law of economics: Buy low; sell high Time to get flamed. But plz be peaceful ***Obviously we will get KEEP him tho. Just trying to get a hypothetical value yenno .

Rindiculous Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I was one of the ones who was on the fence about the trade. I had watched J.T. Miller a handful of times and loved the player (stated that he was basically a Horvat clone) and I’d be fine with giving up a first for Horvat although at the time I thought it was fair value. So far Miller has gone above and beyond fair value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacholu Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I love what Miller brings to the table and the player he is/what he has been doing so far. My problem is JB not being able to negotiate. Imagine if we could have landed him for a 2nd or prospect we weren't super high on. One of the reporters metioned JB took the offer without countering. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
