Darcy always overvalues his players its not a good thing, some gm's don't even bother to deal with him. Darcy has to win every deal its ridiculous sometimes you gotta take chances and hope the trade will work out.

He got a first for Goose at the deadline. He got a good return for Pommer at the deadline. If he can't resign Vanek he will get a better deal for him. Proven goal scorers at the deadline are a hot commodity for a team looking to make a run. We will get one or two real good prospects a 1st round pick and maybe even a roster player for him at the deadline

Trade Vanek to LA for Dustin Brown.

Bring some Stanley Cup exp and leadership to this new young core.


Ennis/Hodgson/Dustin Brown

That would put the Kings in negative cap space with no way out of it

atleast be realistic

Cullen is gone to NSH along with 3 other signings they've made, nice day for the preds so far IMO
- sabresfandan

Cullen, hendricks, nystrom, and stalhberg is a nice day?

They are all bottom 6 guys..

hes got every right to ask for it. Miller is still a top 10 goaltender in the league and those dont come cheap.

I stand by my prediction: I think hell get dealt sometime between now and the 15th. When some team realizes they need him.

And if he doesnt, theyll get a good return for him as a rental on deadline day
- CaptPantalones

Top 10 rental goalies aren't dealt at the deadline. The Sabres don't want him to stand on his head and have them draft 8-10 again next year. He's gone this summer.

What a shock............Darcy sitting on his hands.........The NHL has spoken.........Ryan Miller is the most overrated player in the NHL.....No one wants him......Lucky us......... Maybe THIS will be his year.........He really is a great goalie.........Not.........Can't wait......maybe we can keep him for another 10 years.

YES I said this a few weeks ago QUOTE ME I DARE YOU!
- sambarugh

Calm down, I'll take your word for it.

What if he is injured? Why would you even take that chance? He has had an injury where he missed several games 3 or 4 different seasons.
- Pierceme69

Understood. But if you cant find a trade youd make now, theres no other choice. Darcy (or any other GM for that matter) arent going to accept subpar value for a player of his caliber. You just sit on him until the deadline and see what happens. Who knows, maybe, and its a large MAYBE, the team gets it together and makes a run large enough to convince 1 or both to stay

Calm down, I'll take your word for it.

Stalberg and Cullen are nice pick ups, Nystrom is a nice add and Hendricks is good on Shoot outs

Is it just me or are you being sarcastic?

I fail to understand why Ryan Miller needs to be traded right away.

- GilPerreault11

I agree with you 100% actually.

Ill be shocked if hes here by September. But not overly.

someone in the next 2 weeks is going to give Darcy close to what he wants

So, we'll get absolutely nobody, while the new "division" gets increasingly stacked. "The market just wasn't there" bullpoop will resume I'm sure.

Sure there is a choice. You don't have to outright win every trade. Addition by subtraction is a thing.

- buffalofan19

Because he's a below average goalie getting paid too much.

Are you serious?

I think the point is that you should take the best offer you find, and focus on building the team up from the youth. Ryan Miller does nothing for Buffalo's future, and not enough for Buffalo's present. He's gotta go, for whatever (assuming pick(s) or prospect(s)) you can get. Gotta go before the season starts.

Cap sapce says sup.
- ImThatGuy

Pay a portion of Vanek's contract if need be...


Q. What's the best part of having Big Poppa Pockets Pegula as an owner?

A. We can think bigger.

- LetsGoBuffalo75

Those teams in our division just indirectly signed Reinhardt for us

Because he's a below average goalie getting paid too much.
- sambarugh

false. It's shocking how (frank)ing false this is.

Blues are close to signing Filippula. Stewart and Peirrangelo needs to be signed. Offer sheet anyone? Anyone. Sorry for the spelling I'm exhausted

- buffalofan19

The longer he stays, the smaller the goalie Market becomes.

Are you serious?
- Pierceme69

Yes. Whether Ryan Miller gets traded today, in September, or even midseason doesn't matter to me one bit.

Because he's a below average goalie getting paid too much.
- sambarugh

Miller isn't below average he's way above and he's getting paid market value, how can you give Mike Smith almost the same money as Miller? he was horrible with the Lightning ans all of a sudden he plays well with the Yotes and he's 6 mill guy?

Stealing a Garth suggestion? You're better than that.
