    History And Accomplishments:

    HW's Take:

    J.T Miller confused many earlier on the season. He has all the tools: skating, size, offensive skills, defensively skills. However, the points never came for a prospect that was so highly regarded.

    Now, all of a sudden, in the U-18 Tournament, he finally started to produce the way he should with 13 points in 6 games. He kept his game simple and things started to happen.

    However, was it too little too late?

    He will going to the well-known University of North Dakota next year and will have time to find that consistency. But on draft that is only around 2-3 weeks away, some teams will be scared off of him as a prospect. On the other hand, some teams picking mid to late round will see his tools and have faith in that Miller will continue his performance from the U-18s throughout his college career and into the NHL.

    Where Does He Fit With The Wild?

    Apparently, he can play right wing as well.

    I guess this is getting little redundant for many of you, but he's a forward with offensively skills. Might not as be as flashy as others but the Wild need something.

    Good Choice At #10?

    To continue the question, is it too little too late?

    For me, yes it is. 

    I like from what I hear about Miller. But one good tournament is not enough for me to pick him as high as #10. Now, if we were picking #20 or #30, then I would consider.

    But with the #10, we have better options
