This is what I find with some of these "realistic/Devil advocate" posters on here, or other places - they speak as though it's absolute.
Which I find quite ridiculous.
The list goes on and on. Iggy, Linden, Dionne, etc.
Miller has what it takes to win. He also has Bo, Petey, Podkolzin, Hughes, and Demko.
And more.
I look forward to this year.
This is a fantastic signing.
And last year wasn't even his contract year. He's a player you win with.
I wonder what JD Burke has to say about this? Hahaha!
I do agree with you. Ultimately, Jake is responsible for his choices, actions.
But there are people on this board who continually/repeatedly rip on him or others.
The point is, he's a human being just like us all. The real immaturity stems from constantly digging in, instead of letting it go.
And you, of course, have it all figured out too. The bottom line is, only time will tell.
What I find absolutely ridiculous is when people like you and Heffy talk in absolutes.
Lmfao.
Miller, Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes and Demko are the foundation that you build upon and potentially win championships with.
Add in Podkolzin, and let's see what develops this year, and we have a very good group of players who can take that next step forward.
I personally like Podz on a line with Petey because he brings that intimidating aspect, which deters opponents from taking cheap shots.
That in itself is awesome because he just turned 21 in June. Wait until this kid gets a few years under his belt.
