I think Nyquist could PK, and that Tatar did PK in GR. The regular season is good for experimenting, I'd run Nyquist-Andersson and Tatar-Emmerton out as PK pairs for a bit and see how they do. That said, you could just as easily keep Miller in the lineup if you're willing to sit two of Cleary/Sammy/Bert, and those first two haven't exactly melted the ice with hot play.
Bert's played well, but he desperately needs someone on his line who can consistently gain the zone.
I think he is what he is. He's venturing up a bit more this year than last, but he's not exactly taking a ton of chances out there. He's just mediocre in his own zone when he's under a bit of pressure.

He should. Out of all of the players that we either expect things of or want them to play better or harder or whatever. Miller does exactly what he should do every game.

Trust me, that will change if he's kept on the roster when he's no longer adding any value and prevents a young, top end prospect from making the roster. For now he's a very solid role player with a very cap friendly deal. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
His name gets thrown around because he might actually be movable.
Who is going to take Sammy, Bert, Cleary from us even if we wanted them gone? Hell, even Eaves? He seems to get injured too much, I'm sure that makes teams wary.
But a solid 3/4 liner with good PK ability and will pot a few goals along the way? At his cap hit? I'm sure there's a few teams out there willing to take him.

All this. He's got 2 more years on that deal after this season right? Jurco and Mantha will have to wait. Ferraro and Sheahan should be on the team next year to replace Bert and Sammy.

Yeah, he's got two years remaining. If we could clear Bert, Sammy and Cleary off the roster it would open up the log jam and allow our top end prospects to continue to develop against the best talent in the world.

Miller is a victim of circumstances. The lack of roster spots and his long term contract for a bottom six player, tend to annoy people. I have no problem with him, but i would have no problem replacing him with Nyquist, even though Miller is really good at what he does and you would lose a valuable PK'er.
Like 5 guys come off the books after this year. As long as Holland doesn't do anything monumentally stupid again, we should have plenty of room.
The main problem is I don't consider it a great idea to add in 5 rookies at the same time. But this is the grave he dug.

Do we still think Pulu will make the NHL? Initially everyone was real high on him and now his star has faded in the last two years.

... Despite Kindl being awful. Man this guy doesn't know the definition of a safe breakout pass and is one of the biggest cowards D men in the league. Always 'lets up' in foot races going back for the puck... just loves being that second man in so he doesn't have to take a hit.
