"I take it day by day," he said. "There's a strong group of defensemen and I think a lot of guys will be playing because of it. It's a long season, there's always injuries, so just be prepared to play in any role that you're given. On a team this good, the depth is important, so try to be there."
Miller is right-handed, and that's important, because the Stars lost a righty in John Klingberg over the summer. Will that give him the opportunity to play more or play on the power play? Probably. But again, the coaches are saying they will play the best players.
Miller is listed at 6-foot-1, 198 pounds and is known as a good skater who can move the puck. He's stepping into a system that can use those skills, and he's at a place in his career where he's healthy and ready to step up. Asked if this is a goof fit for him, he said yes.
"I like it," Miller said of the new system. "It's pretty simple for a D man on what his routes are, what he's supposed to do. I think the simplere the better, especially when you're going back and getting pucks. That's where a lot of the turnovers happen in a game, so if we can get out of our own zone efficiently, that will be important for us."
