Prospect Info: 2018 NHL Draft / Pick #22 - K'Andre Miller (D)

[SnowblindNYR]

When I as playing people used to say I was a mix between Wayne Gretzky and Tie Domi. I had the physicality of Gretzky and the technique of Domi

That made my day.

Don't be modest - we've seen your pictures.

That shot tho... If he can get a Shea Weber slap shot...

No arguments there

I said this in the Lundkvist thread, but I think it bears repeating --- in a pool filled with prospects on the younger side of the spectrum, Lundkvist is the youngest. He barely beats out Lindbom, and Riley Hughes is about a month older.

Lundkvist just turned 18 in July and won't turn 19 until after a while after the season ends. He's more than a year younger than his draft classmate Joey Keane, and nearly two years younger than Lias Andersson.

Despite that, he's playing in Lulea as the team's youngest player by a good two years --- he's the only player not born in the 1980s or 1990s.

Just something to keep in mind when we're checking in on him.

So he wont make the NHL until 2022 the earliest? Wasted pick!

That line just gave me a flashback to McIlrath conversations from 8 years ago.

To his credit, MCIlrath had a bomb.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I hope he's not Weber

Is this a joke? You don't want him to turn into a player who was a top 5 defenseman for most of the last decade? Ok.

Weber is meh.

Suter-Weber was a top 5 pair, but that's different.

Whatever you say. Suter become nothing after he moved from Weber.

This was never a thing.

Yea your right, being the runner up for the Norris in 2014, 2012,and 2011........i must be making things up huh?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Honestly, it’s the other way around

Other way around.

@Machinehead , if Miller becomes a McDonagh-like player would you soften your stance on the rebuild?

Like, good McDonagh?

I still think it'll take a long time but that would certainly set us up down the road.

Our defensive depth is going to be strong for years to come.

Hajek
Miller
Lundkvist
Pionk
Skjei
DeAngelo

Is DeAngelo in our future plans? Quinn isn't playing him.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Is DeAngelo in our future plans? Quinn isn't playing him.

At this point I’d be shocked if they consider him a long term piece

He’d probably be traded or waived if not for the fact that he was a major part of the Stepan deal

I still don't understand why.

You forgot Joey Keane, who will probably be in NY before both Miller and Lundkvist.

I knew I was forgetting someone. Keane was the guy.

Rykov im not sure on. Lindgren I just saw mentioned and I do think he has a future as well

I also still have hope for Day making it but it may end up being as a forward

 

[GAGLine]

And Graves.

Sarcasm? Or did you mean Bigras?

 

[nyr2k2]

I meant Zoborovskiy.
