Absolutely. I'm fine with Miller being gone.

I just never doubted whether he had the ability to win

I was a Miller supporter when he was here, it was time for him to leave though.

People get on Miller's case for letting in that soft goal late in a game after he practically stole the entire game before that. It was always "another soft goal late in a game" when there was no business Buffalo being in that game in the first place. Miller haters will say he couldn't lock a game down no matter what just like supporters (myself included) will say he was the reason they were in the game to begin with.

Miller time.. the last minute when you can almost count on Ryan giving up a goal to either ruin a shutout or tie a game.

To be fair (and a Miller lover) Ruff's laid back and cling to a lead style led to a lot of frustrating blown leads

I can't picture the Wild, not with what the vast majority of people say with Vanek going there. I don't see them being able to fit all these contracts.

heater comes off the books, there is the money for vanek

buy out backstrom, there is most of the money for miller


still leaves them money for a winger and rfa's

I never had the trust in him to get us a win. More often than not . the team HAD to score 4 goals min to win.

I still don't see it happening, but I'd be rooting for them. 3 solid ex-Sabres on a team like that (plus McCormick!!!!).

They have 17 players signed with 22.7 mil to spend. Buyout Backstrom, they're now at 26.1 with 16 players signed. Sign Miller for 3yrs 6 mil per and Vanek 5yrs 7 mil per. Gives them 18 players signed with 13 mil to spend. They could make it work.

That said, I still say Miller ends up in SJ.

Plus Quick over Roy, Brodeur, Hasek, etc?

I mean Kane, St. Louis, Leetch, and Malkin don't belong on this list, Kane could end up there eventually but Leetch and Malkin aren't or weren't the best players on their teams and St. Louis one of the best to win a cup??? Come on

Most offensive to me were Quick and Malkin, Kane a close 3rd. Leetch I could give a pass to sort of, but those other 3....no "modern" players should be on these historic lists.

My guess is that the writer is in his mid 30's, from the NY area...and is completely unaware of hockey prior ti 1979. He sucked.

Edit: She went to school in NYC and has to be 30 or younger

Top 10 players to never win a cup would be an interesting list

Would Perrault make the list?

A bunch of former Sabres...how shocking but true

If I was making my own:

Lafontaine, Perreault, Dionne are the first 3 that come to my mind
