Really rooting for him on his next team.

You wouldn’t bring him to camp on a PTO?

 

[BruinDust]

Winnipeg desperately needs to add, not subtract, defenders. Doesn't seem like a great fit for us.

Give him a PTO and let him come to camp. I'd have no problem with that.

CAP: 76 Million (81)
WALK: Chara. Krug. Miller. Nordstrom.
SIGN: Hall 6X8.75
TRADE: Ritchie
EDM: Debrusk Moore +
BOS: Nurse

I like this a lot, Nurse is the guy we could use out there to replace the sandpaper lost by Miller and Quaider. He is a modern version of that type of player as he can skate, handle the puck and play more than half a season healthy.

Inserting young guys that have some size and skill is key to the rebuild, Seny, Frederic, Stud and Lauzon. Give Bjork a year to find his scoring touch. We cannot keep playing the same old guys over and over hoping for a better ending. That core is long in the tooth, let the new one start.

I have.

Let him go.

 

[Blowfish]

Really rooting for him on his next team.

What if it's Toronto or Montreal?

 

[BruinDust]

I have.

Let him go.

But if they don't give him a PTO, I'm good with that too.

Really rooting for him on his next team.

I'm sentimental, but if I was the GM this guy wouldn't see a shift for another team until he had a chance to come back and play for the Bruins first. If he fails to stick then so be it, but IMO he has been a major missing ingredient the last couple years. I honestly think a healthy Kevan Miller could have made the St. Louis series into a whole different animal. The odds are obviously stacked against him but this guy is like the family dog and as GM I'd be trying everything in my power to keep him around.

You’re extremely sentimental. The guy at this best doesn’t move the needle whatsoever. People in here on Carlos case since the playoffs ended....ya Carlo >> KMiller times a hundred

 

[Dr Hook]

You wouldn’t bring him to camp on a PTO?

I would not and here is why: he'd look fine in camp, earn a contract (deserve it I daresay because when he was healthy and at his best he was good) and twenty games into the season blow out his knee again. Not worth it for the Bruins to use cap space and a roster slot on a guy that hasn't played for over year and had two torn apart knees plus various other injuries over the years.

 

[LouJersey]

Chara-Miller will be Tampa’s third pair next season

No issue giving him 1yr 900k

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

In Providence.

 

[NDiesel]

Id give Killer a PTO and if he looks good bring him back as the 7th D....never know when you might need his toughness in a matchup.

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’d trade DeBrusk, Krug rights, & Zboril for Anthony Mantha

Maybe x2 , 100 is a dman that doesn't exist

But Carlo is a 2/3.

Miller is a 6/7.

Sure Carlo is better.

But for the role of 6th defenseman, playing 12-14 minutes per game. who plays physical, Miller was perfect.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

We need a better skating blue line. K Miller has to follow Chara out the door. Its probably best for him to give it another shot in a new organization.

 

[bbfan419]

Well, there you have it. Our D is intact. No incoming needed now.

He needs to retire, one more injury to that knee and he could be in trouble.

Why do you hate Charlie Coyle?

 

[Dizzay]

I'd attempt to turn Debrusk + whatever into Nurse/Hanifin
Sign Hall/Hoffman, preferably Hall
Let Studnicka take over as 3C until he falters........if he does, we have options

Marchand-Bergy-Krejci
Hall-Coyle-Pasta
Bjork-Studnicka-Kase
Ritchie-Frederic-Kuraly
Wagner

Hanifin/Nurse-McAvoy
Gryzz-Carlo
Chara-Lauzon
Vaak/Zboril-Clifton

[duffy]

Chara-Miller will be Tampa’s third pair next season

I like both players but neither is good enough to push Anyone out of the Bolts blue line.

 

[duffy]

Carlo is not 100 times better than Miller! He is a better skater and younger and that's where it stops! Miller is 1000 times more physical than Carlo, has a better shot, handles the puck better and blocks shots better. Miller has injury history and that is his biggest problem.

 

[Yeti34]

I think it’s time to move on from Miller. Even if he looks good in the training camp he’s so injury prone it’s not worth having to fill his spot midway through the season.

 

[NJ Bruin]

Biggest need has to be a goal scorer. JD and Kase were not the answers this past year and if I were a betting man, I would say they're not the answer next year either.

You can hate on the D-corps as much as you'd like and that's fair, but priority #1 has to be more goals.
