Bruins Defenceman Colin Miller: Hold, Drop, Trade?

[stevetronix]

Bruins aren't giving Colin Miller much ice time. He was often a healthy scratch in 2015. Should I hold onto him?

League counts points only.

As in holding him in a keeper spot or in a prospect spot on your roster?
He is not keeper material but if your league has prospect roster and depending upon the criteria used he is decent option to hold over in that respect.

This is a good question.

I myself picked him up last week in points only and am now pondering whether or not to drop him for Morgan Rielly.

It seems like the Bruins is struggling to remain consistent. Colin Miller is being sheltered with 61% off. zone starts and I like that he plays EV with the solid Seidenberg. He doesn't get big minutes but he plays on the top PP with Krug. %PP time since last call up / scratch: 80.4%, 53.3%, 67.5% and 48.3%. Though his last PPP came on 27 nov. Unfortunately he doesn't shoot as much nowadays as he did earlier in the season.

First Quarter = 29 shots in 13 games.
Second Quarter = 13 in 13.

I'm just going by the numbers here but maybe someone who actually watches the Bruins can weigh in.


Of the FA you mentioned none of em' really tickled me, maybe ride the wave of someone like Nate Schmidt or Medvedev. But I'm not sure long term.

Sorry! I didn't realize it was a one-year, my bad.
I like Miller best out of the options available that you listed.
None of them are enticing.
