josh Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Which player do you want for the next 3 or so years? Starting with the 2018-19 season. Use whatever criteria you want. Can only pick 1. Starting next season. Trading away Nash/Grabner at deadline is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Deal Nash. Deal Grabner. Deal Miller. Re-sign Grabner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 For me this is a tough one. Grabner is AJT. Love what Nash brings, and can bring. And I dont like Miller... but, I dont know if I want to give up on him, even if he costs 1m more for and extra season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm justifying it through a long-term lense, knowing Miller can bring back a serious haul to complement the same hauls from Grabner and Nash. Like three firsts, two top prospects, and one or two ancillary picks/prospects. Draft another Miller with one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I would trade Miller in a heartbeat. I don't think he's ever going to anything close to consistent. I think Grabner would be the one that would offer next year's Rangers more than either of the other so I'll go with him coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What has Miller a bottom six guy ever done to justify a haul coming back this way? What am I missing about what he's done so far in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 What has Miller a bottom six guy ever done to justify a haul coming back this way? What am I missing about what he's done so far in his career? He's one of the top point-producing 3rd liners in the league. Maybe he can do more given more responsibility? He can also play wing or center on any line. That's worth something. Plus, he's the youngest of the trio, and, maybe a bit more untapped potential? If we are "rebuilding", maybe give him an extended look in the top 6? I think he could be a great complementary player, just have to find that other guy.

jjweimar Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Miller, versatile won't cost too much and tremendous potential. We give up on him he ends up in Pittsburgh with Sid Sent from my [device_name] using http://Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 OK agree to disagree, to me he's wildly inconsistent and borderline head case. Toe Blake doesn't make him much more than he's shown. What he's shown again tonight is a guy that mails it in and coasts and for a guy that's been recently benched that's inexcusable.

ThirtyONE Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 None of the above. Miller is one of the many mediocre players that put this team where they are. Asked to be more than a 3rd liner. Can't do it. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EverRangerFrank Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Money aside, I?d take Nash since he offers more than the other two at both ends of the rink. Money consideration counts? I?d take Miller IF, and only if he plays wing. That implies we get a C. While Grabner appears to be the choice based on money, he doesn?t bring that physical play when needed. Miller gives you that.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I would obviously move Miller for the right deal. I saw a Penguins fan on another forum who suggested "JT Miller for Sprong+Gustavsson+Hunwick (cap)+2018 1st+2019 2nd" No doubt we would do it in a heartbeat, and its probably an overpayment the pens won't do, but atleast it means that other fans (and maybe GMs) value Miller a lot higher then some people in here.

Dunny Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I voted keep Miller despite knowing he has shit for brains, and will likely have the worst attitude in the dressing room in times like this. Why? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I voted keep Miller despite knowing he has shit for brains, and will likely have the worst attitude in the dressing room in times like this. Why? I don't know. I'm convinced he'd play better for a different coach. Yeah he's shown signs of stupidity but the guy has fire, and he plays a tough game. That's what you need in a playoff series....a guy that can grind. Now, I'm not going to pay 4.5 - 5 million a year for a 3rd liner, so yeah, I'd keep him but for at most 3 million a year....(THE MOST!!!!). Anything more than that and see ya!

In the same sense, they are going to have to pay Hayes the same amount, and I would rather have Miller over Hayes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What has Miller a bottom six guy ever done to justify a haul coming back this way? What am I missing about what he's done so far in his career? I'm with ya. He's been mostly mediocre as a Ranger, with a flash or two of hope of being a top six forward. Imo he's been really bad this season. I was hoping he would pick up the the slack of the loss of Kreider and the eventual loss of Nash, but he's been pretty bad. I don't blame it on the shift to center either. He doesn't have wheels this season and is certainly not physical at all. Is he injured? I deal him for a youngish D man. Probably could have gotten a guy like Vatanan for him. Shit, they probably still can. Go for it. He's not looking good for Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
