Does Miller remind you of Kesler?

[F A N]

The biggest factor in player performance is quality of teammate. Kesler was always asked to carry the load on his line in relatively tough deployment.

There’s a lot of revisionists history with Kesler, this guy at his peak was 2nd in the NHL in goals and was a top 3 two-way player in the sport.

I think some posters have forgotten the type of player Kesler was. Kesler at his best had some of us wondering if he's better than Henrik. But most of the time he had trouble utilizing his teammates.

Miller is way more talented and well-rounded.

this has to be a joke

In 2011 there were a lot of people that thought Kesler was our MVP and I agreed.

Not close in style, JT Miller reminds me of Patrick Sharp

The closest comparable today to Kesler is ROR, will and snarl. Miller is like Hossa for me so far.

Interesting.... Boeser reminds me of Sharp.

Miller is attached to the hip with Pettersson at 5 on 5 I’d love to see him drag around the likes of Mason Raymond and Chris Higgins.

You might be right but I certainly wouldn't love to see that.

It’s a Miller thread. If you hate Benning good for you. Other forums for your useless posts

You didnt attack the poster praising the trade.

Kesler was a high-end skater, with a big shot and hard on the puck. But Miller is a far better offensive player, particularly in the offensive zone imo. Clearly has superior vision and the ability to take on defenders one-on-one.

To me, Miller reminds me more of a better skating version of Ron Francis.

It's interesting that they share a lot of qualities yet I feel they are completely different players. I don't think Kesler would try unsafe dangles in his own zone, for example. And I don't think Miller has as much of a hateful edge, even though he plays hard. Miller's offense is a lot more deceptive in how he masks his intentions. And Kesler had that wicked shot. But they're both really strong on the boards and know how to make the right plays, and both are ultra competitive.
