It's Miller Time

The Columbus BlueJackets today continued their youth selection process and brought in Ohio born , 21 year old, JT Miller.

Born in East Palestine,OH and growing up only a few hours away from Columbus, Miller was delighted of the announcement "When I got the news, I was super pumped - I'm headed to a young team and it's a dream come true to play so close to home".

GM Nellis also commented to the media "We are definetly filling up the cupboard of young forwards. JT fits in great with Zibanejad, Silfverberg, Toffoli, Mantha and Bryan Little... JT was also a team mate of Seth Jones' at the under 20 WJC a few years back - they are great friends and our club is really starting to take form".

The Jackets marketing department already had to do some damage control after Lundqvist's outburst earlier on this week... "It's Miller Time" could be the slogan the Columbus faithful have been looking forward to.

The Jackets also added prospect Andreas Athanasiou with their 14th round pick.

For the Columbus Star,
