Colin Miller should really be paired with Chara, but unfortunately there isn't a Seidenberg-in-his-prime Defenceman to pair with Carlo, unless one counts Liles, which I most certainly do not.
If this organization had any forward thinking at all, it would bite the bullet and pair Morrow with Colin Miller in the meantime, and use Game-Killer Kevin Miller as the 7th Dman and Liles as the 8th.
I really, Really, REALLY hope that SweeNeely doesn't throw away even more precious high-round draft capital for old, tired, useless crap like they did at the last trade deadline in a vain effort to address the need for a legit #3 LH Dman, a scoring RW and a legit #2 Goaltender, because those players will not be available at the deadline (which should be moved up the calendar by at least 2 weeks, IMO).
I think we're seeing what we're going to see, at least until the trade deadline. Miller/Miller will be pair #3, and Colin will see his minutes fluctuate based upon the opponent and situation. I think it's just the reality of the current defensive personnel. It makes sense as the team transitions into next year, absent a trade, and assuming the next pup decides to sign (list not in any order):
Chara
Carlo
Krug
C. Miller
McAvoy
Miller/McQuaid/Other
