Player Discussion Kevan Miller - II

[BruinsBtn]

Miller is also better than both of those guys.

It doesn't matter. He's not better than McAvoy, Carlo or Clifton. Kampfer is great at sitting in the pressbox and being ready. The Bruins likely respect Miller to much to let him rot. They'll try to find him a place to play so he can try to get another contract, similar to McQuaid.

The more I think about it and look at this team I’m expecting a healthy Miller will be a big addition and not traded

If everyone gets healthy (and who knows at this point) what are they going to do? Waive Kampfer and Lindholm?

Marchand -- Bergeron -- Pastrnak
DeBrusk -- Krejci -- Kuhlman
Heinen -- Coyle -- Ritchie
Nordstrom -- Kuraly -- Wagner
Backes

Chara -- McAvoy
Krug -- Carlo
Grzelcyk -- Clifton
Miller
Moore

A trade is going to come, especially if guys like ritchie and Lindholm show they can play consistently. I assume a depth piece will be moved.

No way waive Kampfer & Lindholm

I’m focused on January 1 or when Moore gets back

Lot can happen before then

Season needs to evolve

I’m not really concerned what the playoff lineup looks like in the first week of October

Hello Coyle, Johansson, Kuhlman, Clifton

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Gnarly injury but he can be my 7D any day if he’s ready to go.

Just remember what happened when we benched Clifton 2 games ago.

 

[The National]

Found this from an old Behind the B episode from 2016. Kevan Miller mic’d up against the Leafs, we’re really missing this toughness right now.

You can also see why his knees are toast.

man, any word if or when he`s possibly returning?

 

[LSCII]

Can't stay healthy long enough to be any kind of impact. Can't count on guys like that at all.

 

[Ladyfan]

I would love to see Kevan return. There is always hope

 

[McGarnagle]

With the amount of injuries and type of injuries he's had, even if he does come back I suspect he will be really compromised. He wasn't ever the best skater to begin with.

I feel for the guy. Great kid, tough, plays a Boston kind of game. I'll hold out some hope that he'll surprise us and get back to 100%, but I'm not hanging my hat on it.

Agreed.

I really don't expect to see him in a Bruins jersey this year.

I agree but, but my reason for trading him is how long will he be in the lineup before going on the IR again. Get something for him before he is off again.

 

[northeastern]

Has there been any update on him?

 

[DKH]

Agreed.

I really don't expect to see him in a Bruins jersey this year.

I don’t either

 

[LSCII]

Has there been any update on him?

Still hurt and no timetable to return. So no?

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

"2020 will be better, I will be back."

 

[Ladyfan]

"2020 will be better, I will be back."

I will be happy to see Kevan back

 

[neelynugs]

miller skated on his own for 15 minutes yesterday. i'm honestly not very optimistic
about him not only coming back - but being back to where he was before the injury.
but as a big miller fan, i hope he can pull it off. will be interesting to follow in the next
2-3 weeks, since the cap and the deadline are tied into his recovery in a way.

It’s been 291 days since he last skated and he’s recovering from two fractured knees. I’m not optimistic either.

 

[PB37]

I was under the impression that it was the same knee. Was it both?

 

[CLIFFY HOCKEY]

I believe he was skating alot before last setback, if i recall he was supposed to play a month or so ago before he had a procedure of some sort, he is the second best conditioned player on the team besides Chara, I have a ton of faith in him being able to comeback and be effective, I dont think anyone knows whats actually wrong with knee, broken kneecap was reported, but i dont believe he had a torn acl or patella etc, from my limited knowledge breaks are easier to comeback from than a reconstruction of some sort?

 

[Gee Wally]

broke it twice. North to south then west to east.

 

[Estlin]

Yeah, I think that he’s done as a Bruin.
