> [@eclipsed](#): > > PLAYERS I AM DISSATISFIED/ANGRY WITH: > 5) Ryan Miller - one word: inconsistent. he makes some big saves at key moments, but still is prone to giving up soft goals. in my mind, he is currently an average nhl goaltender that is going to command top goalie money in a year and a half. i would say our chances of retaining him are around 50%, and frankly, i am indifferent on this. why pat 5 mill a year for a 2.5mill goaltender? so we can handcuff ourselve MORE with the salary cap? :bloated: > 5b) Jocelyn Thibault - .859 sv%? LOLLLERFUCKER. 3.7GAA? :lol: someone please take him out back and shoot him like a spent racehorse. what a joke. As a goalie myself I gotta give Miller a break here. I agree that he could end up demanding too much money for his play, but then again, this could be an off year? Who knows, I still think he deserves maybe another year to get his feet firmly planted beneath himself as the Sabres starter. Sure he’s been largely inconsistent this year, but his save percentage is still at .910. It’s not terrible, but could be better and would make a difference in the team’s record. Now Thibault, I had much higher expectations of him and I simply could not understand why the Sabres gave away Biron and came back with Thibault. He is washed up, and I don’t think he’s fit for the Sabres backup for the money they’re paying him. Miller should log a ton of games and we don’t need an outstanding backup. Maybe even bring up Adam Dennis from Rochester and save some money with a cheaper backup. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-07-08-buffalo-sabres-season-thread/36504)._
