Confirmed with Link: Colin Miller for a 2026 4th

[AussieBomberJet]

Wow, waking up to some decent news. Love the defenCe build-up as well.

 

[han316]

Miller > Stanley... Love it

Fun fact: Back when Miller used to play for the Devils he was actually a teammate of Toffoli's.

They'll be happy to be reunited as Jets lol. Spent almost two hours on different teams

 

[EpicGingy]

He seems like a good pick-up. I wonder if being a natural righty leads to him being ahead of Schmidt in the depth chart.

 

[TommyKillian]

It seemed to me, watching the last few games, that Samberg was jumping up and playing more offensively lately. Miller could be just the solid defense first guy to allow him to do more of that.

I don't expect Snerg to ever become an offensive Dman (don't want him to either). But he could add a nice little bit more offense.

Ever since Dillon went down and Samberg got that string of games with Pionk he's activated a lot more and looked really confident. I think Miller will compliment him really well. Samberg is one of my favorite players to watch, but I'm also a loser.

 

[Gm0ney]

Miller seems like a low risk add for cheap. Good trade deadline for Chevy!

Apparently both grew as players and as human’s during their time apart and are extremely excited to reconnect on their new team

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

You can never too much D insurance IMO.

I want to have least 2 NHL-calibre d as 7/8 on the depth chart for a playoff run.

 

[Jets 31]

Chevy is a great GM plain and simple. Bring on the Whiteout , and home ice advantage.

 

[Jetabre]

If he's better than Schmidt and Stanley then yay.

 

[WolfHouse]

Pretty good numbers this season, probably a product of his surroundings/context but a good pickup for that #6-7 tweener.

He's another demelo with a hard shot and knows bones system - love it

You called it
Who knew? Not me
WolfHouse did

 

[The Blue Baron]

Don't know much about Miller but people seem happy with this, so I will be too!

Exactly, me the same. Never heard of the guy till now

As long as we did not trade for Wade Miller!

 

[jungles]

"Nice scoring. Good defense. Turkey's a little dry. The turkey's a little dry?! Oh, foul and cursed thing! What demon from the depths of hell created thee?" - Chevy, probably

One of my long ago exes went on a date with wade Miller and I always make sure I bring that up when we see each other... haha

Best part is that now we will see what Samberg's numbers are like when he doesn't have to carry his d partner

 

[Gm0ney]

Miller's put up some good defensive numbers.

His most common defensive partners over the last 3 seasons at 5v5:
720:46 with Heiskanen in DAL: 2.29 xGA/60.
350:32 with Bryson in BUF: 2.43 xGA/60
288:49 with Hughes in NJ: 2.67 xGA/60
228:38 with Suter in DAL: 2.51 xGA/60

Overall his on-ice numbers at 5v5 over the last 3 seasons (vs all defensemen >1000 TOI):
xGA/60: 2.38 (tied for 49th out of 234 - Top Jets: Samberg 2.32, 29th ; DeMelo 2.47, 82nd)
GF - GA: 121-86 (+35, 58.45% -11th best - Top Jets: Samberg 68-48 +20 58.62%, DeMelo 151-122 +29, 55.31%, Morrissey 193-156 +37 55.30%).

I hope he's not one of these guys whose team massively outscores opponents when he's on the ice but they lose the game anyway like that Ehlers guy!

If Miller is crap you are going to hear about it.

 

[WolfHouse]

If Miller is crap you are going to hear about it.

Pretty sure I'll hear about it anyway...

We're now below league average for homegrown players on the roster...

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I'm the furthest thing from a Stanley fan you will find, but he is my ideal #7 d-man at the NHL level.

 

[DRW204]

i haven't followed him in years, basically since around the VGK draft and when he played year 1 for them. this seems like a solid pickup.

First Tiny Eyes Toffoli and now High Mileage Miller! What a day for Chevy!

You bet chat!

TE is pretty solid in the playoffs. Great track record there. Hope for the best for the guy.

Those were the good ol' days.
