Meet Colin Miller, our sixth-best under-25 player or prospect

• Position: D
• Height: 6'0"
• Weight: 181 lbs
• League last year: AHL
• Age this year: 23
• Acquired: 2015 trade, for 2015 and 2016 2nd round picks

Colin Miller came back in the Milan Lucic salary dump during armageddon draft weekend. For Milan Lucic, the Bruins got the 13th overall pick and Martin Jones, who was in turn traded for the Sean Kuraly and a 2016 first rounder. Altogether, that's a pretty good package, of which Colin Miller appears to be the crown jewel. He was a standout AHL defenseman last year, only outscored by Chris Wideman among AHL defensemen. That's pretty promising, all things considered. He unfortunatel has not played in the NHL yet, so we don't know how he'll do there.

For me, he's a prime candidate for earning his way onto the NHL roster this year. The Bruins' defense is currently, according to the roster posted on the team website:

There are at least one or two guys who I would happily drive to the airport in favor of taking a chance on a fast kid with a wicked shot. How wicked? Here's Colin Miller setting a new record for the hardest shot at the AHL All-Star skills competition last season. How fast? He also won fastest skater last year:
