Well apparently you and your GM have differing opinions or he wouldn't have asked our GM about the price for Miller. Unless LeBrun is an idiot and got it wrong.

You're making a baseless assumption. Blues/Sabres talked about Miller. But for all we know, your GM called ours asking what he could get for Miller. Miller is an improvement over our current goalies... but not enough to warrant giving up major assets.

Worst case, our current goalies don't get the job done next playoffs... Blues are still happy to keep their "over-rated" by fans player and then get Miller for free in the offseason. Nearly our entire team is under 30, our window is just opening. Buffalo needs to trade Miller a heck of a lot more than we need to trade for him.

But there's no guarantee he signs with you in free agency. And, there's a good chance he wants a lot of money. I would call that getting Miller "for free".

Sure I could be, but unless lots of guys in the media are wrong, your GM is searching for a goalie.

Either we can get him for free next summer meaning he isn't worth trading too many assets for; or we won't be able to meet his expectations for his next contract and would only be trading for one season of him, meaning he isn't worth trading too many assets for. Same result either way.

IMO, Oshie straight up would be too much for Miller.

I'd throw in a 2nd w/ Miller to get Oshie

Has reality set in yet guys??? Its gonna be Sabres picking top 5 the next 2 years...

Not worried at all about Vanek "We will get a good return for him". Miller is the thing Darcy is screwing up ATM. And If Darcy lets either one of these guys walk there is no way he stays GM. So that's addition by subtraction lol.

Buffalo at this point can't offer sheet anyone... We have a good shot at a top 5 pick the next two years. We would be crazy to risk that.

13.1mil in cap space actually. Capgeek has multiple players they list as on roster that are on two-way deals and not expected to be in the NHL unless there are injuries (Chorney, Jaskin). More than enough to sign Petro and Stewart.

I'd rather Darcy not be such a sphincter and allow players the ilk of Miller or Vanek walk for nothing or continue to allow their market value plummet.

What does everyone expect? Darcy is true to his word. There will be suffering. Let the suffering begin.
