Can’t per the cba it is a 2 year bridge or long term.
Don't really want Miller, but I'd rather not give out a bloated contract to one of these free agent defenseman…Drury will screw it up regardless
Only if it's a sign and trade. Giving up this year's first round pick was the best thing to do.
I'm so done with KAM
not interested in overpaying Gavrikov or Provorov ….
I still want Byram … he's at $3.8 this year … if it looks like a good fit through the season you extend him
Have a good feeling about MAtthew Robertson ,realize has not played much in NHL ,but is a big boy .prob 6;6 on skates ..Think,him at age 24 is a good thing ..Lots of pressure on real young d men ..Hopefully ,he gained much experience in Hartford ….LETS hope .LGR !!!!
Reports already said that Coach Sully doesn’t like K. Miller’s game. So NO on longterm and move him asap
NOOOO. get rid of K.Miller he's been terrible for the last couple of years !! Get some D. That hit hard move the puck up ice .not turn it over. Like K.Miller did over and over. And put the puck on/ in the net .again that's NO ,K.Miller .
So keep the turnover machine, the uncoachable?
He who makes the same mistakes over and over and over again and again and again?
Get him out of here NOW.
I don’t care what he wants, he has to go. Trade him.
K.Miller is not a defenseman……his skill set would be better as a winger. He’s had years to improve his d and bulk up but instead he’s a non physical poke checker who is constantly out of position and is a turnover machine. You can’t have him on defense anymore. It’s time to move on from him.
Please NO
Jones not signing with rangers…a 2 yr deal was presented to him last month..
You sign him to a one year deal to see if you can get his value up. Then you trade him at the traade deadline.
How about "no", Scott?
Let him go, U won’t be missing anything. Ur idea doesn’t make any sense
Just being realistic but we will have the same bunch of complainers minus Kreider & adding a new coach. It sucks!
Hard NO on Miller…..soft play, no physicality, turn over machine, and low hockey IQ
One year deal would only benefit Kay Andre Miller because he's likely to have a better season and then he can demand more money in his next contract. If they were to lock him up now see for 4 or 5 years, they could get him for reasonable money given the future cap increases. Obviously it would need to have no nmc
