Current Miller would have been worse

Past Miller would have been the same as Lehner last year

Each let in their own soft goals the Sabres might have won 2 more shootouts last year because that is something Miller is really good at but it's not like the Sabres could score during them either

Lehner got 1 goal in support for all of his losses.

But again the playoffs would not have happened at all.

Maybe the same impact, but I'd take prime Miller every day over Lehner

I wouldn't

Miller and his cap at the time pro rated to what it would be now over Lehner and his cap hit

Goaltending has not been an issue since Miller was traded and it is not an issue now.

Not to mention Lehner hasn't even entered his prime

I'd say last year plus the next 3-4 years will be the best years of his career

because he's not very good at the hockey?

Edit: his style of play/type of d-man is gone now, im not sure what he really has to offer the organization.

I would like to think Housley and JBotts would know a little more about a person's worth to a team than most of the readers on here.

lehner in 2016-17 was much better than miller


you're beating a dead horse

lehner 10th in save % .920
miller 23rd .914

lehner 2.68 gaa
miller 2.80

lehner 23 wins
miller 18


lehner had 5 more starts

typical miller season, ranked somewhere in the 20's for stats and a few buffalo fans over-hype him

- homiedclown



Lol here we go lol ...


One goaltender played in the defense first system and sucked

The other was the MVP most nights that's a hard one

I wouldn't say that there is a lot of hate for Miller exactly, but more of a hate for all the love Miller gets.

Millers $6 million cap hit against a cap of $60 million

or Lehners $4 million against a cap of $75 million


I know thinking things out without using emotions is not your strong suit but if you actually could do that you would understand what I am saying

Ryan Miller is the reason we weren't a lot worse for a lot longer. He was the only player keeping us in games from 2008-2011 on most nights

Right .. we had to get rid of him to tank right lol

Gretzky was a terrible coach
Quenneville wasn't the best of players but is a great coach
