Jim Rutherford was asked to talk about J.T. Miller when he took a mediatic tour earlier today. On Sporstnet650, Satiar Shah asked how hard it would be to replace a guy like J.T. Miller and his skill set.

Rutherford was quite eloquent when talking about his star, all-around versatility, and ability to adapt and play just about any game. Ever since the Canucks acquired him via trade, Miller's been excellent.

Since Boudreau stepped in, he's been one of the league's most productive players. Since Rick Tocchet came in, he's been one of the best forward and centerman leaders and a possible heart nominee. Rutherford saw right along what type of breed they had on their hands, and his comments are a reflections of that:

�'There are only 5-7 players in the league that play the way he does''

As Rutherford explained, since Tocchet and his staff took over, Miller has noticeably changed how he handles himself, and it's been for the better in Vancouver. Known to be an offensive threat, Miller has taken his game up a notch since the season started, and he's now battling for the league's top with 42 points through 29 games. He's currently paving for a career-high and franchise-high of 118 points.
