I thought Miller was QBing Vegas PP1 unit

Miller is indeed QBing for VGK. The best thing to do is go to the line-up section here. It's kept up to date really well.

There, it looks like Slavin nd Hamilton a QB in Car. Theodore has passed Millar in usage, but both are taking turns on #1.Everything else is right. I nay look at Brodie over Geo, he always seems to lose a kidney or something stupid.

I know you didn't ask about Detroit...but add Cholowski. Great start to the year and only Mike Green to take his place.

For whatever reason, Shea Theodore is the sexy name for the upside PP1 QB in Vegas, but Colin Miller is the dependable guy who happens to hold a supreme advantage over Theodore for that deployment: handedness. Miller is a RHD and Theodore is LHD, so when you're talking about how the Knights run their PP they use Marchessault and Miller up high in the zone running the action. Having Marchessault-Miller is much deadlier in my opinion (and anyone who has played EA Sports NHL) because of the one-timer option. Miller on the left side and Marchessault on the right side up high can both threaten the one-timer option when moving the puck out high. That option creates so much space for the rest of the unit if the PK respects the shot.

Just based on how the deployment has gone, and what their PP looks like when it's clicking, I would be very surprised if Miller was usurped completely for the #1 gig. He's very underrated, and being a RHD option it gives him (and the knights PP) a huge advantage.

Carolina - Faulk (but Hamilton should see increase)
Calgary - Giordano
Vancouver - Edler
Anaheim - Fowler (but Montour should see increase) - same situation as with Vegas. Fowler is the LH option with Getzlaf RH up high. Montour is a RH option.

FWIW, Vegas is pretty fluid in how they deploy their two units. Miller is with the Karlsson/Marchessault PP unit, which is probably the #1, but the #2 unit gets similar time and Theodore is deployed there. This deployment somewhat neuters both Miller and Theodore as truly explosive options.

With Getz back would you expect Montour on PP1
