I will be unhappy to see him have a great year in (bleah) CHI. There's no doubt he worked his ass off, but a good year for Miller is 10-15 points. Very replaceable and long overdue in my opinion. But yeah, good luck Drew! From everything I've heard, seen and read, great guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Care to explain? Booth also got a PTO, doesn't mean he's an NHL player anymore, who by the way I believe would be an upgrade over Miller. Dozens of players get PTO's every year, doesn't mean they'll get a contract. I doubt Miller gets a contract. If he does, good on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Holland signs Miller with our cap situation and at the stage we are in our rebuild, with Bertuzzi ready to fill that role, yes he's an idiot. If Bowman or any other GM signs Miller because they have the cap space, and they're looking for a warm body as their 12th/13th forward, good for them, and great for Miller. I could care less what players other GM's are signing. But Drew Miller has no place on this team, and if he somehow finds his way back, Holland truly is an idiot. Luckily for us, that's not going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well we weren't rebuilding in 2014 or 2015 and people still seemed to have an issue with him (and Dan Cleary) being on here. Cuz Holland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and kickazz are the biggest offenders of the rules on here, but think you're so hardcore. It's laughable. And I do laugh! I'm not sure why my question has upset you so much. I just want to know your opinion of Bowman if he signs miller. When you calm down, I'd still like to know your opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuz Holland. Do you think Drew Miller was valuable to this team in those years? A total of 22 points in 3 seasons. But his defensive ability (aka getting hemmed in his own zone every shift) was second to none... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
