Quoting: Knuckl3s
Miller has been a borderline elite talent since he came to Vancouver even before Boudreau got there. Like I said man, KK needs to score at that rate for longer in order for me and probably other people to really buy into that development. I honestly don't understand why you are insisting so much about Miller being a locker room cancer, they were only ever rumors. When asked about it, Travis Green and literally every Canuck player who got asked immediately denied any rumors of descension in the locker room. I don't know why you are suddenly bringing Boeser into this either
I've looked at KK's stats, and while they are respectable for sure, it's not like people have been questioning his ability to stay in the NHL, everybody sees that he's an NHL caliber talent, people are just concerned about whether or not he reaches his projected ceiling. It sounds like he's making good strides (pun intended), but like I said, I still need to see more
If you need to see more from KK, watch more Canes games. At this point, he's a top six center that's being held back by Carolina's center depth above him. Ask any Canes fan, and they will tell you he's probably been the best center on the team that isn't Sebastian Aho. He's been better than Vincent Trocheck and Jordan Staal. He's showing development that he was never showing in Montreal, and has even proven recently he can have success up the lineup with better linemates against top competition when he was one of 5 Canes forwards accompanied by the top 6 of the Chicago Wolves.
Rumors about a locker room splitting don't come from nowhere. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Something has obviously happened in that dressing room, and obviously, everyone is going to deny it. This is a league where players say 100 words and don't mean anything. You really think someone is going to come out and say "Oh, yeah, there's been a complete divide in the locker room and no one is happy". Winning might give a short reprieve, but it won't be a permanent fix. When the Canucks hit that rough patch again, if these rumors surface yet again, then it's beyond undeniable.
