This. Great rookie season. Has regressed pretty much every season since and only got as many points as mark fraser last season (8), despite 2+ minutes of pp time per game.

Buffalo needs this guy back in a big way

- GardinerExpress

He was terrible for about 20 games to start the year each of the last 3 years. He ended each season playing like a top pairing defensemen with the exception of this year. He has trouble coming into camp focused, that's it. He's not close to being a terrible defensemen. Unless you want to judge a players career on 40 games in a short season

lots of people choose to live in Edmonton, are you an idiot? Alberta is the fastest growing province in Canada. No need to respond, I already know the answer.

I loved living in Edmonton. I had the privilege of becoming friends with a bunch of awesome guys out there. St.Albert RFC!

I was expecting him to have an excellent/break out year last year.
Let's hope he does break out this season.

- zazzle

I think he did a great job, especially with the quality of D he had in front of him. He has progressed great. Goalie's can take forever and a half. I'd like to see what he would be like if he was sheltered for many years like Rask was in Boston. I bet it would've made Dubnyk a machine.

it's such a dbag comment to trash where people live as some sort of retort in a hockey discussion.

I love Vancouver and the coast and ill never leave. but i grew up in Sherwood park and it was great. I wouldn't trade it for anything

Ever been to New Orleans? That place is #2 on my list. Buffalo is the grossest.

I'm slightly biased on Edmonton. It is a great city, it just is a little too industrial in certain places. I don't know how no one has mentioned Detroit as being garbage either.

No, not at all. It's an opinion shared by many. Edmonton and buffalo are both poop holes.. Rivaled only by possibly Winnipeg. Get over it.

how in gods name does dubnyk not making team Canada have any correlation to the myriad of reasons why miller doesn't make sense to edm?

and how does the past 5 years that buf may have finished ahead of edm, only one of which dubs was the starter, (with better numbers than miller I might add) have anything to do with the myriad of reasons why miller doesn't make sense to edm?

your posts just seem to be getting worse and worse

you're taking this all too personally. like it's an affront to miller. it's not. he's proven more of his career thus far than dubnyk, regardless of last years lesser numbers.
but the fact remains the oilers just don't need to deal for miller

- hugefemale dog77


Why would I take the fact the Oilers fans way over value their team personally. I think it's hilarious, in a sick sort of way.

It's easy to overvalue when your team has actual multiple potential talent

ALL of this. The fact Dubnyk won't be on team Canada means absolutely nothing to his argument - he used logic and reason to argue that the Miller to Edm nonsense is, in fact, that. Nonsense. Your response displays your immaturity and lack of knowledge.

By the way, if Miller was from Toronto (that means he would be Canadian), he would have ZERO chance at making Team Canada. Not that THAT has anything to do with Miller to Edm being nonsense.

At least, that's what my sources indicate (tsc4)

you spelled * in his opinion* wrong.

Dubnyk will shut some people up this year (roughly 90% of HB people)
Myers would be nice.

- ChetManly


multiple oilers players have supposedly been shutting me up for about 5 years now...come within 10 points of a playoff spot then start talking
