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. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > 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… ---

> [@Adictd2b00st](#): > > anything is possible who knows! 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. ---
