He'll be too expensive for the Pens. Look for them to go after the cheaper options. Reimer or Niemi make more sense for the Pens if they get rid of Fleury

I don't see Colorado or NJ interested in goalies. Schnider is good and young, Varlamov had a great year last year, they don't need starters. San Jose could use an upgrade over Niemi. Fleury would do so much better with an actual defense in front of him but I think Miller is on the top of their list. Pens will likely grab Hiller and he will get lit up, guy is horrible. He was the worst goalie on the Anaheim Ducks. His sv% was awful considering he doesn't face many shots.

Schneider is 28 and this is going to be his big money contract, he's the youth on that team

So Avs just sign to Varly to a 6 year extension at 5.9m Cap Hit...so they look at moving him with other assets to try and land a Top 4 Dman... Just to sign Miller at probably a heftier Cap Hit while eating up cap space when the Avs are trying to resign Both Stastny and O'Reilly.

I guess you dont understand the asset management and Cap side of hockey. But youre a flyers fan, youre accustomed to justifying dumb trades and over priced contracts

You don't think miller will take a payout for a chance to win a cup?

So Miller is goign to sign for under 5mill? I dont think so bud.
Varly is 26 signed for 5 years and could be the veizna winner.
Miller is 33 and had a rough up and down season. Which would you rather have signed long term

Varly was outstanding this year and much younger, why would they get rid of him to bring a older goalie who has had his best seasons in the past.

If SJ does anything, it would be to trade away Niemi for a 3rd rd pick and middle prospect, sign Hiller (Thornton and Hiller are buddies from back in the previous lockout when Thornton suggested he give the NHL a shot) and bring back Stalock as a heir apparent under Hiller.

You do know we have Varly and Berra both signed for 3+ seasons already. Goaltending isnt the issue in Colorado, Defensive Depth is
- DDM-Coga

Miller would make a better back up then Berra. And means varly plays less games.

Ryan Miller thinks he is worth Lundqvist money lol, Miller isn't worth 8.5 million or even close. The guy is a loser.

devils should trade schneider for 5-10 pick. Draft a forward. Then draft Demko at 30

Youre such an idiot, Shut it already. Miller isnt going to be a back up and you are not going to invest 13m in cap space on your goalies.

Did I say they should do it? No so (frank)ing learn to read bumhole.

You implied the idea, don't post idiotic posts and I won't have to call you out on it, but you are not a real Avs Fan so I don't think your opinion accounts

I like this version of you. Why don't you bring the Thunder to the Oilers threads when you visit?

I think if you need a starter, this is a good group to choose from. The real problem for some teams, is getting that decent backup.

I am on the fence with Emery and I would bring him back if the price was right, but what other options for backups are there?

So many goalie rumore and not one involving Vancouver or Toronto? The two teams most likely to make goalie moves.
