New York Rangers Prospects: J.T. Miller Invited To USA World Junior Camp

The New York Rangers' first round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, J.T. Miller, was invited to the United States World Junior Championship camp yesterday.
Miller has made a big splash in the OHL ranks so far this season, recording 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points in 29 games for the Plymouth Whalers. It was enough to impress the USA WJC brass, who invited Miller to the camp. The Rangers need to be excited about this, especially after they saw firsthand how it helped along Chris Kreider's development.
Miller has shown a tremendous amount of growth in the OHL and is proving the Rangers' drafting staff made the right choice when they selected him this summer. But the World Junior Championship is a different beast, and it's an opportunity to go up against some of the best young prospects in the world.
How Miller does here might play a big role in his goal to make the Rangers next year out of camp.
Thoughts on this guys?

How does nobody comment on this?
He is eclipsing Thomas as the “2nd most likely NYR prospect to succeed in the NHL” and nobody cares?
Shame on you shit birds.

I care...
I just didn’t really know what to write as a comment. I mean I could’ve stated the obvious, “Can’t wait for this kid! Gonna be a great two way player!”, but I figured someone else would’ve done it by now. But yes, I’m very excited for him as well as Kreider……….Is that what you wanted to hear, woman?
Proudly suffering as a Ranger fan.
Doesn’t your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend like to hear you tell them they are beautiful and you love them?
Give JT some love. He may stop on time to time.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
I'm still nursing my pride from draft day
where I asked everyone in a 3 mile radius “who the F is J.T. Miller?”…Pardon my negligence of this inconvenient truth.
@btown46
that's nothing
my facebook update from that day and I quote “WHO IN THE FLYING FUCK IS JT FUCKING MILLER”

Miller is a stud, I admit it. When they drafted him I knew who he was very well but didn’t think he deserved a 15th pick. he is proving me wrong, so thank you. Wait until the kid fills out physically. Think a cross between Kessler and Statsny, somewhere in there. This kid is the real deal. Playing in the Worlds would do him wonders, great experience. Not sending Grachev to the Worlds when he played in Hartford a couple of years ago was a major mistake. It’s a great experience.
I liked Miller at Traverse
Was impressed with his jam and vision/decision making. Plus his size is good.
If he puts up 90 points or more at 18 years old in OHL he could become a steal.
