Yeah. I get the sense Miller is more like a young Staal.
Eh. Closer to Clendening stylistically. I don't think Miller has the physicality Staal brought to the game at that age

Well that’s not very promising. I thought Miller was good at clogging the neutral zone. No?Eh. Closer to Clendening stylistically. I don't think Miller has the physicality Staal brought to the game at that age

The key to our success is the maturation of Miller and Jones on the back end. If those two pan out we are well on our way.
put Robertsson into that group too
Yeah. I get the sense Miller is more like a young Staal.
Where did you see this?I just watched him blow a wrist shot no traffic in front clear past hank from above the point and clang it off the post. He’s got a heavy shot I think the speed of the NHL game is going to be a much more comfortable fit for him.

From everything I've seen and heard, he's really good at breaking up plays at the blue-line, but struggles (sometimes significantly) with his in-zone defense. If he was as good at that as he was his blue-line play, he'd be on track to be a similar player to prime Marc Staal, with more offense
The Entry prevention is the #1 quality I want a defensive D man to have these days. I'm not saying in zone coverage isn't important, it obviously is, but most shifts start on the fly and I'd rather have a guy who is disrupting the opposition before they have a chance to set up shop than a guy who is positionally sound in his own end and will allow them to walk in - A ton of things can go wrong in the latter example even if said player doesn't make any mistakes where as it's really hard to score from outside of the blue line.
We all know how bad the Rangers have played in their own zone the past few years. It's in our best interest to get better at standing up at the blue line.I agree and I think this is what DQ is trying to do. Obviously they make their share of mistakes but i see the defense making an effort to stand up at the opponents blue line. Maybe it’s a version of the neutral zone trap. I’m not knowledgeable enough to make any call on that. But it’s certainly putting pressure on opponents quickly.

If he was as good in his own end as he is outside of it, he would be playing with the team right now eating major minutes next to Trouba or DeAngelo.
The Clendo comparison makes no sense from a stylistic standpoint. Clendo was an undersized and slow PMD. K'Andre is long, agile and has more of a rounded skill set. DZ entry prevention and OZ controlled entries are his greatest strengths (he was like off the charts in these areas compared to his teammates at Wisconsin and on the NTDP) where as Clendening could run a PP and move a puck, but that was about it. K'Andre is going to have a much, much easier time along the walls/in front of the net than Clendo did.

we need Miller to pan out more than we need Lundkvist though. We already have Fox and TDA. Our left side is GARBAGE. Plus we need size. But if they both pan out that would be nice, will soften the blow of when Kravtsov busts
If NYR doesnt send Robertson packing for top 6 help, I can see him being an under the radar LD that sticks in our top 4 for quite a few years.
I think he's the one prospect that gets overlooked and would be the darling of this board of we didn't have Miller, Lundkvist, Shestyorkin, Fox, to drool over plus the Emo Twins we cant figure out yet.
He's literally buried on the back burner cuz of our depth.
there are some of us fully on the robertson train
Yes. I'm looking for them to be standing up at the opponent's blue line. Stop them from starting their attack.We all know how bad the Rangers have played in their own zone the past few years. It's in our best interest to get better at standing up at the blue line.
