Not that much. At least Sather has learned not to give away money like that. The Sabres finally get money and what do they do? Go on a spending spree. How's Leino and Ehrhoff working out for you guys too?

Leino Meh he has ben hurt. Travis Yost did an article, showing Ehrhoff was one of the best Dmen in the entire league this year.

You guys insecure as poop. I make one observation about how Myers' contract is the reason he has no trade value and you make it sound like I'm making an indictment on your whole organization. Yeah, your organization knows nothing about winning (BTW, Brett Hull's goal WAS legit, get over it) but that isn't the point. Plus, even when the Rangers do have bad contracts, they still make the playoffs and still get good players in exchange for their crappy players. The Sabres get more crap. Stop acting like the Sabres are some superior organization because their not.

Ehrhoff is a great player. $4M cap hit for Ehrhoff is a luxury.

Brad Richards? 728 days ago?

just because goalie value is inflated right now, doesn't mean mean anybody wants a 33 y/o headcase goalie with very little playoff success and a huge cap hit. No one is going to pay for him what Toronto (the city that has less idea how to value players than even you) paid for Bernier. The reason teams are interested in your headcase is to poach him should he be bought out.

Because your only response to a legit point is "Well your team's stupid so I win"
Like, jesus guys, relax.

I'm saying that's the reason why his trade value is so bad. Would you trade Myers for Letang straight up? Of course not. That's the point I was making.

A Rags fans talking about bad contracts and a Philly fan talking about overrated goalies, where have I seen this before? The irony here is amazing.

Ok I have to admit, no sarcasm, good one.

Stop no buyout. Garth is smoking something on his value. The Islanders could use him. Miller and a second for Isles first is a fair deal. Or philly has goalies not sure.

thanks.

and for the record- i wouldnt deal away letang for myers either!

I'm pretty sure a Bruins fan is on their way to talk about cheap shots. Then a Vancouver fan will complain about diving.
Then a Phoenix fan is gonna come here and ask to borrow some money

is that all happening before or after colorado trades away ROR???

No way the Sabres get anything close to what is being said here for Miller. He makes way too much money. If they are lucky the Sabres may get a 2nd round pick for him straight up. Nothing more.

Did anyone know that Darnell Nurse's father played football at Canisius College?

www.nytimes.com/2013/06/1...-different-path.html?_r=0

His father, Richard Nurse, was a wide receiver with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League for six years after an N.C.A.A. Division III career at Canisius College. Richard Nurse told the CBC a few years ago, “I had my bell rung,” so when Darnell was 4, Richard started him in hockey, a game he had no concerns about.

Q: What do Jimmy Howard, Corey Crawford, Tuuka Rask, and Jonathan Quick all have in common? A: their teams did not pay an arm and a leg for them. Especially with the emergence of Viktor Fasth last year, teams are realizing that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a big-name goalie to be successful. In fact, with big names such as Fleury, Ward, Kiprusoff, and Luongo all recently going through some major struggles, most being unseated in their starters spot, it's hard to see why any team would think the way to go would be to pay a kings ransom for a big name in net. Add to that Miller was 18th in save percentage (behind Steve Mason!) and 34th in GAA (Dubnyk was 12th in save percentage and 23rd in GAA) this last season... Bottom line is that most teams are smart enough to pay for results, not for a name. Miller did not deliver the results to get GMs drooling. And with only 1 year left before UFA with a $6.25 M cap hit? You'd be lucky to get a middling prospect or a 2nd round pick to dump that salary.

The argument of supply and demand only holds water when the thing you "supply" is what everyone else wants. The only way I can see Edmonton biting is if they had to package Dubnyk up in a deal to trade for someone of significance. In that case, Miller would be a good plan B. But more likely, the only way Buffalo is ridding themselves of that contract is to buy him out or take another bad contract (Horcoff) back in return.

No way the Sabres get anything close to what is being said here for Miller. He makes way too much money. If they are lucky the Sabres may get a 2nd round pick for him straight up. Nothing more.

clearly youve been in the sun for too long.

The only reason Miller might stay past this week is because there isn't a strong market for 6.5 million, one year, 32 yr old goalies. I'm not a big fan of Miller, haven't seen elite play from him since the Olympic year. I think Darcy will think he's worth more than the other GM's and won't bite on a trade for awhile.
- GilPerreault11

I think Miller might stay past this week because other dominoes need to fall first for teams who think they can get a better deal on a different goalie through free agency:

Bernier trade- domino fell. Therefore Wild signed
Backstrom

Bryz bought out?
Luongo bought out?
