Are you seriously attempting to suggest that there are some similarities, or that Miller's stats are somehow superior?
What was the purpose of this post (other than sheer lunacy)?

He was pointing out that they were exactly the same size.
Baertschi is joining a team that is filled with small forwards that don't do well when the other team knocks them around.
It is a redundant signing for Edmonton as they already have exceeded their allowable limit of undersized forwards......
a team can get away with 1 or maybe 2 guys the size of Miller but Miller will not do well playing with the Edmonton Smurfs and it is equally likely that Baertschi (and Backlund)will not reach their potential playing with the Calgary Smurfs. (Hudler, Cammalleri, Tanquay, Cervenka, Stempniak, Stajan, Horak)
Baertschi was not sent down to the AHL because of a lack of talent/skill.... He was sent done so he didn't get the snot beat out of him night after night and run out of the league.
