Everyone in Detroit is talking about Dom retiring and now them going after Miller since he is a MI kid and went to state.
Rather than waiting to see if Jimmy Howard will be ready to go after Osgood many people want to bring in a “proven young player”.
I know Miller’s contract is up in 09 so do you think they need to lock him up this off season or unload him now?
Because you know the Hockey Town money will be flowing.
sabres should be locking him up this year.
Unload him, He dosen’t deliver.
you dont deliver good posts! maybe we should unload you!
and they will keep osgood, he just proved himself these playoffs, no reason to go shopping and pay more to have 2 good goaltenders.
The sabres wont unload miller unless they have a great backup plan… their defense is lacking the strength to support a mediocore goal tender
and the sabres would trade miller rather then let him go into free agency…
just like how they were locking up briere and drury?
well he IS from michigan, and has hinted he’s getting sick of buffalo management… anything is possible who knows!
he wants to go there. dude’s from east lansing, everyone wants to play for their home team, and there is definitely room for him.
lock him up or trade him this year
that’s my viewpoint. after watching drury walk last summer, i have determined that i cannot predict the actions of quinn/regier.
then again, i have been telling everyone who would listen that they should have offered briere and drury identical 5yr/25mill contracts as of January 1, 2007 (when they could negotiate with briere, since he was awarded the 4mill arbitration award the previous summer).
again, i am done predicting. we are now in the unfortunate position that we are almost required to overpay for an above averge (note, NOT excellent or elite) goaltender. in a perfect world, i would say trade him while his value is high (relatively low contract dollars and young), but it isnt that simple. the lack of a decent second option owns us.
he is gone, now or then, he will get a cup with another team… buffalo = farm team for other cities
they have been talking about this for awhile, advocates for miller say hes staying in buffalo, but its too hard to believe! i see him in detroit within the next 2 seasons
