Kanukfanatic Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) JT Miller was a beast today against the Canes. Very physical, making plays, and playing like he was pissed off. This guy fills so many roles with his style of play. He can pass, shoot, score, hit, dig in the corners, etc. I wonder if JB has his eye on any other players similar to JT. Edit: we need his equivalent on defense. Edited February 3, 2020 by Kanukfanatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been such a huge influence on the team in so many ways. I know a lot of people think Marky should be the MVP, but I'm with JT. He's changed this team so much that I really don't think they would have come together like they have, or as quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukfanatic Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 JT Miller has been getting more and more aggressive lately. I love it. Tonight he is hitting and cross checking when needed. I hope that mean nasty attitude is rubbing off on the team...exactly what we need. The fact Virtanen fought is a good sign too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have just seen unfriendly looks between them over the last month or so. Also have noticed a few discussions between them coming back to the bench that looked heated. Nothing that I can quote but just a feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 One thing that I didn't realize about Miller until we got him is that he is actually a power forward. A power forward with skill and speed. Well worth a 1st rounder. Only knock on him might be that sometimes, he slows the play down too much. Noticed a few times where there was a moment or two to pass the puck to Petey and he chose to keep the puck. I understand that he doesn't want to give away possession in case the pass doesn't connect but sometimes you've gotta take some chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looking at his skill set and nastiness, we got exactly what this team needed and we could not have got a better player who was up for grabs, JB killed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 That first rounder in deep draft year might just be worth it for a 26 year old, power forward in Miller. I love picks and prospects, but JT has changed the way this team plays. I'm so glad he's a Canuck, and he's signed to such a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every draft year is a deep draft year until it isnt. 2012- "this draft could be the best since 2003" 2020- lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our luck? Ugh... Add to that even top pick has been a bust when a McDavid was expected... People forgot about that when JT was traded for, as gm do you make the surefire safe bet or do you sacrifice for a risk? At this stage of our build, JB did the right thing.. tired of this franchise selling out our future to appease the "win it all now" crowd instead of building.. how well has that worked for us so far? Thinking the zero Stanley cups no matter how close we got answers that.. We're close to that finally but still a cpl years away, and having to draft a kid that will "hopefully" become a JT Miller would have been redundant and he can help mentor as he came with leadership skills. I was shocked by how many even considered we lost on JT's trade.. way the opposite.. as of today, JT is tied for points with Petey and Ovechkin at 57 points.

Supposedly this year is supposed to be a deep draft. We'll see what prospects we land come the draft. Edited February 17, 2020 by N4ZZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
