He also has a bad rap and takes penalties all the time for **** he doesn't really do. It sucks. I'd have loved to have someone teach him hands and how to play hockey. Sigh.

i like this deal for both teams. Arty adds some grit to anaheim's bottom 6, and miller gives tampa another young skilled forward to help with the build.

I. don't. get. it. What problem did this solve?

We got a 3rd and some depth for a guy who didn't really have a spot on the roster this year that takes a ****load of penalties.

Dammit, if that thread didn't get deleted, I'd gloat about calling it.

More reason to hate the Ducks.

Drew Miller sucks, R2 doesn't. Great trade for the Ducks.

Yeah, but R2 isn't good, either.

I won't believe it until it's confirmed in Mandarin.

Better than Drew Miller... Though, the 3rd could be traded to get someone better, or draft someone better than both.

I don't know much about Drew Miller, I hope he doesn't suck. But Arty just hasn't ever really been useful for much. His size and speed is seductive, and he certainly can hit, but he's terrible with the puck, doesn't have much aim on his shot even though he can put some charge into it, and takes tons of penalties (even when he doesn't commit them). Besides, we got a 6 and half footer in the draft this year to replace him as the team tower. I'm pretty neutral towards this trade. Anaheim fans will enjoy watching his hitting but will be left underwhelmed when they take a close look at his actual production.

I don't really know anything about Drew Miller so I can't comment on him.

R2 is a project and could still be something decent. Skates like the wind, big big hitter, zero hands. Watching him take one timers was like watching a kid new to hockey trying to wind up and take a shot, he looked like he was on the verge of falling over. He has great size and can use it to his advantage but has a rep so he ends up taking a lot of penalties, happened a lot last year on a lot of clean hits.
