As Deb said earlier, he plays all over the ice (like a typical Russian-coached rover center). So have Cull and Hank work with him to develop center skills. He did take quite a few face-offs in his World Junior captaincy stint. He could be a prototypical 3rd line Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 11 minutes ago, Muttley said: The only reason JT Miller is playing wing is because the coaching staff is stacking up on two scoring lines. Would've been great to have three but it just hasn't worked out, as of yet.. As long as we’re scoring. Under Green we were losing games and struggling to score. At least this is entertaining even if it’s not a recipe for long term success. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 5 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: Even if Miller primarily plays wing it's fine. 8M for a PPG winger (who can slide over) is solid value. Boeser to me is the one we need to move. Hopefully he can get back & be put in a position to play well so he boosts his value. I'd also say they need to do the same with Rathbone, ala Hodgson back in the day. When the cap goes up 8 mil will be standard for a 30 goal scoring winger. Not worried about value, more worried about long term center depth. For some reason we keep drafting wingers and are ignoring our organizational weaknesses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman's adapted well and Karlsson's looking good at AHL level. Just need to trade Horvat for a younger Swedish version and we're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 18 minutes ago, stawns said: Miller on the wing at $8m+ is far worse value than miller at c at $8m+.........which was already a terrible deal for Van He earned his contract and given today’s climate, he signed well below market value. He and Dem were our MVPs last season. It’s obvious both are struggling but they will get back into form. It happens. He didn’t just end up being a garbage player. You don’t just go from a 100 point guy to this in the start of the very next season. I’m getting tired of this hate. You want to go one players, go on the ones that have consistently played awful and not played up to their contracts. You can’t say that about Miller. Not yet anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 2 minutes ago, stawns said: enjoy it because one of them is gone by the end of the year I'll be repetitive but I agree. I think both Miller and Boeser will be gone. If it is only them gone it will be a commitment by management of a rebuild on the fly. I don't know if moving just those two gets the job done. I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the toughest positions to switch from (winger to center). Not many can do that well. Trevor Linden comes to mind, but he's like one in a million. Yeah, he definitely needs someone to play defence for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
