Waive this guy, or trade him for a bag of air....just get him off this team.
He should not be in the top 6, let alone the top 4. Mediocre dman on a mediocre team.
I remember the first time I gathered distaste for Kevan Miller.
It was game 6 in Bell Center vs the Habs during our Presidents trophy season.
We needed that win to ice it. About 3 minutes in our boy Kevan Miller makes possibly the dumbest mistake ever, mishandles a pass from Rask right onto the stick of Eller in the slot who buried it. 1-0 Habs, all the momentum shifted to Montreal, crowd was roaring. That one play buried the confidence in our players and we never did crawl out of it.
The worst part? That play happened 2 seasons ago. This guy is still on the team. I've hated his play ever since.
Just send him somewhere. Somewhere far far away.
Is there a Player Discussion thread on Chara because I don't think even Miller trumped Chara's brutal game last night. We can do our best to hide Miller on the third pairing but Z is the elephant in the room. He really needs to call it a career.
On a Brutality Scale last night, Miller was #1, Chara #2.
Miller is what he is, a 6-7 d-man that is being used incorrectly. Chara's play is of far greater concern to me. I am hoping that once the musical chairs is over and they settle on a mobile partner for him (hoping C Miller), his play will improve.

Chara hasn't had a steady D partner in years.
Just get any decent vet in to replace Miller and hope the season can be salvaged.
Sorry we have too many good players in their primes and 2 years after this of Chara and Seids we cannot give up and tank it is only going to net us a talent like Zach Hamill we'd get a better player picking 16 and taking a sleeper than picking 8 and taking BPA.
Its hard not too when your tied with teams like Buffalo and only a point up on the Leafs...ugh!
K Miller not at practice today .
Were going to have 2 pretty good picks regardless. We aren't winning the lottery. Im down with replicating the last draft and taking the guys we want early mid first we can make the playoffs and still do that.
Or pick around # 7 and be forced to take a guy like Hamilton because he is there and best case scenario you get a good player but a bad fit worst case its Hamill?
Oh whats that people want to tank so we can use the picks to trade up for Matthews and the higher the better? Great logic even though last year we couldn't even pry Hanifin from Carolina despite having a bundle of riches and Dougie to offer. We could own the 4 and 5 pick and the team holding #1 still laughs at us when we ask to trade.
