You think we'd play the less skilled defenseman for hitting and grit?
I'm not saying that we don't need physicality. In fact I'd prefer we keep him for that one reason. But the fact is Lauzon, Urho, and Zboril play less physical games and are trending upwards as defenseman with some long term potential.
Chara, McAvoy
Krug, Carlo
Grz, Moore
Miller, Lauzon
Vaakaneinen, Zboril
Clifton
At 2.5 million for this year and next, he's the prime candidate to move if we want to free up cap space for an impact forward or pay Krug.
I believe that you still have to have players that are playing different roles to excel as a team. Miller is the ideal defenseman for the third line pairing and the penalty kill. Physical, hard hitter, blocks shots and can fight. One of our last who keeps the opponent team honest.
