Ceiling is a myth . Historically there have been draft picks deep in rounds that have performed so much better than any “projected ceiling”. Opportunity can bring out the best in any player, take them to any projected ceiling, and beyond. I stand by my comment of hopefully seeing Lockwood play with Petey in the future. There might be some Chemistry there that brings out the very best of both players.

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
SilentSam replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Whoa! is that not a complete turn for you? I think you had promoted the idea of Drury giving away 3-4 players of future promise out of NY for Miller? Miller is great!! But I’ve never over rated his value here,. and IF he is signed with us , I be highly surprised if his contract isn’t discussed thoroughly for both parties to have options with. A player like Miller , is what a Team creates its nucleus from, even if his numbers from this season decline,. His type of play and leadership moves and influences other teammates,. That is what helps create Team Identity, and that is what this team is mimicking from Miller. Had we started with Boudreau this season,. We wouldn’t even be thinking or talkin about this player like this.. we would be above the Wild Card conversations and possibly made 1 more key move at the TDL. but we aren’t , and we haven’t . I’m looking forward to next season as I’m looking forward to all games remaining. Hope to see Miller signed to an extension that works for all this Summer,. We’ll find out early enough to realize what happens, when it happens. -

I think for further conversations in this thread, a 1st round pick should be referred to as: a possible lucky star, and any prospect be referred to as: a probable lucky charm. only fair since we are truly dealing with the unknown, hoping to get a fairy tale ending in any return for Miller. Miller of course may begin to decline a bit over the next 4-5 years.. but from the point he’s at, that not too shabby. And if we continue to build a better team with him here, which we will do, he should continue to do well, if he stays. I just don’t see any other real leader on this club if he were to be taken off this roster tomorrow. Reality vs Fantasy ( NHL Draft) , it’s kind of like gambling.
