Canadian Sabres Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 With all the rumors last year near trade deadline of MIller possibly going to the Hawks in a one for one deal for star stud Patrick Kane gets me thinking, should we really trade Ryan Miller? Should Ryan Millers tenure in Buffalo be over?Miller has stated last year amidst of the rumours that he will die by the Sabres blade before giving up on the team.Miller does currently have a no trade/no movement clause but entering his last few years at his 6.25mil contract, it might be time to move on despite if Miller wants to stay or not I mean if a team really wants him in any deal that the Sabres are currently trying to make to gain a real good player to help improve our team, shouldn't they give it a shot and just ask?I'm sure Miller would understand if helps to better or team, Miller hasn't had the greatest of seasons since his Vezina trophy year in 2010I personally dont want Miller to leave and I think this will be his year to shut up the critics who criticize him as a goalie who lets in softies..But if the price is right you cant help but be tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Ryan Millers tenure in Buffalo be over?If you can get a good return on him and really improve the team then I would say yes. Enroth has shown that he is a more than capable goalie and given a chance, I think he would shine. If you are going to move Miller, who are you thinking for ?Nash ? Just curious.....

Pegulaville26 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm curious to see the return the Nucks get for Luongo. I would move Miller IF I get a top forward and another serviceable goalie in return. For example throwing miller in a trade the sends ryan and hiller back this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last thing Buffalo needs is Patrick Kane and the last thing Patrick Kane needs is Buffalo.Later in the career, with more maturity, maybe.I like Miller and think he's a goalie to build a franchise upon. He has a commitment to Buffalo and that should mean something.I've always said you deal anybody for the right move. Ryan and Hiller? Sure. But there's NFW Anaheim pulls that trigger. What else is going? (I also don't think Anaheim moves Hiller). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanflyer Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Miller has stated last year amidst of the rumours that he will die by the Sabres blade before giving up on the team.The question is do the Sabres feel the same way?? I think Miller is WAY overrated. He had one great year and everything since has been mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 With all the rumors last year near trade deadline of MIller possibly going to the Hawks in a one for one deal for star stud Patrick KaneI just threw-up in my mouth a little. Kane is a very good player, but I don't put him in star stud category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Luongo side, the 10 years left on his contract is a detractor. Add into it the fact that he is on the "outs" pubicly puts Vancouver in a position of weakness bargaining wise. I think what you will see is a #1 and a prospect.On Miller, I think it is the opposite. He has two years left on his contract and his cap hit is huge. I think miller is a serviceable NHL goalie, but I do not put him in the stud category. So, the fact his cap hit is so huge and he is an average goalie, I give you the same (a #1 and a prospect).

The value of goalies in the NHL today is at an all time low. Top goaltenders and mid level goaltenders have very little difference. Is their a big difference between Miller and Hiller? Miller and Pavlec? Bobrovsky and Mason? You can almost do that with anyone, their are no non serviceable goalies anymore. I rather just hang onto Miller and know that he can run off a 20 game lights out streak at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also run off a 20 game piss poor play streak anytime as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Sabres Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I was thinking of trading him back to Michigan I was thinking along the lines of getting Jimmy Howard from the Wings but don't know if they would be willing to give him up. Howard's on a last year 2.25 contract I believe and will probably have a career year this season to get a new contract . But a #1 and prospect from Detriot would be sweet considering how they develop players Edited July 7, 2012 by Canadian Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Miller's "average" WAY better than Bryz........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Miller is married to a model/actress that spends a majority of time in So. Cal so maybe he would like to go to the Ducks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
