Let me put it to you in a different way: assume for a second that Mikesell is completely healthy right now and Miller's adventures that night never take place. Might you not think a little differently about our prospects?

I understand your point, but no, I think Miller was Pi**ing away a modest career. Mikesell's contribution would be stability through the ooc. But without better numbers he could be challenged for minutes. Ryan was predictable on the court, but his productivity in his minutes played was not irreplaceable.
I would add that I hope Ryan comes out of this a healthy player and goes on to make his mark on his Flyer career. He might help us in the long run. I hope Sam finds his place in the world and has a productive life.
