I'm sure someone might have mention this already but what if the blues don't make the WCF's and then decide to sign Miller after the draft? What happens to that pick? Is it just a third in 2016?

I have to agree Ott was a player that Buffalo needed. He's tough and plays hard every shift. I'm very sad to see him go. It would be nice to see him re-sign here but I highly doubt it.

Wouldn't that be overpayment for Lazar? I had a feeling that Miller had to be paired with someone to get the deal done. I still wish they could have landed Rattie in this deal. I don't know if it's such a great ideal if Moulson gets moved unless if we get a can't miss prospect or more in the deal. It should be an interesting deadline this year.

But Edmonton has no clue until this last year on how to rebuild that team. I just don't want to here about Sam Gagner to Buffalo any more. I don't want him. I see him flipping either one or both of those players.

This is what I've been saying for awhile now a 3-5 years before we see the playoffs leaning more towards 5. This organization is going to develop these kids and no one is going to be rushed even if we get the 1st overall pick this year.

We will be lucky with just that. I don't mind getting rid of Miller but I think losing Ott and Moulson is gonna hurt unless this team gets a solid prospect or two back. You need a few vets on this team for helping the youth.

I think with the goalie market not being so great and with Tim Thomas and Marty Broduer other options on the cheap I don't think we are gonna get much for Miller. I hope I'm wrong but just don't see many teams wanting to give us a lot for him. I think fans are gonna be pissed about the return unless he is packaged with someone else .

I said this awhile ago that we don't see the playoffs for at least 3-5 years and I'm leaning more closer to 5. Unfortunately for Buffalo they will land a top 5 pick in a poor draft year this season. That's why I hate to say it but we need to be just as bad next year just to have a shot at McDavid. It will be interesting to see what Murray has in store this next week. It will really tell which way this team heads. I still think you need to have a couple of vets around to help the kids that is why I would like to keep Ott and Moulson unless some team offers up something that you can't pass up.

Very true

No more meaningless wins Buffalo! I love beating Boston but we can't afford to start winning games now when we are sitting dead last.

We need to keep him around for one more year of the tank. Going all in for McDavid.

If they trade Ott at the deadline he probably doesn't come back. Not many players resign with a team that just traded him!

Unless the return is mind blowing why would u unload him. He said he wants to stay and I think they can get a deal done. The guy just works hard and what a better guy to help the kids!

I don't think if I'm Murray if I trade Ott unless it such a great trade for Buffalo. I'm good with trading Miller, Tallinder and possibly Moulson(if it's a good deal). I still think you need a veteran or two around for this rebuild.

I'm not sold on Minny at all. I think Miller makes them better but not better than Chicago, San Jose, Anaheim or Los Angeles.

I totally get it a lot of teams don't want to overpay for a ufa. If I'm a GM the only way I give up a first and a solid prospect if I'm already have people good enough to fill spots and if I feel that player we are trading for will put us over the top. I feel St. Louis should pull off a trade with Buffalo. I'm not sold on Halak or Elliot and I think Miller gives them a solid shot at going far.

I also agree we have a solid hockey department but as much as I hated Regier he hasn't done bad with the last two major trades of Pom's and Vanek. We could potentially see two top ten picks this year or next depending on what the Islanders do. He fleeced Snow big time in that Vanek deal.

I wouldn't even mind signing Hiller to be starter next year until whatever goalies we have are ready for nhl duty.

It's wierd but I would like to keep Ott and Moulson and trade Miller. I just think a lot of teams don't want to give up a first and a top prospect for a guy that could be a possible rental player. This should be an interesting trade deadline to see which way Murray wants to rebuild this team. I for one at least want one more year of the tank job to at least have a shot at McDavid .

And it continues with Scheinder.

Hopefully they don't go on a run here! I just want a top 3 pick please.

I could see if they peppered Rask and couldn't score but they didn't even show up today. Very disappointing. I'm more interested in the trade deadline. Draft lottery and the draft now. Plus now with Tavares out the Islanders will probably keep their 2014 1st rounder since they will finish in the bottom 5. Which is okay with me because who knows how long Tavares will be out for and if he misses any of next season so I think they won't be much better. It's not like free agents are lining up to go to the island.

Just an idea since alot of people want Myers gone is to move him to forward. Let's face it the guy can skate but is soft on the backend. San Jose moved Brent Burns up to forward and he looks pretty darn good. It's just an idea. Flame away!

I agree leave Miller on the bench. I'm sure he's pissed he's not playing but quick is a better goalie. He just didn't get any support. Kane created some chances as did Kessel but not much from anyone else. If I'm St. Louis I trade for Miller I think he would be a big upgrade in net.

I would laugh if teams lowball snow for Vanek. I wouldn't overpay for a rental. I'm sure he has certain teams on his mind that he wants to play for at the end of season. I also agree now with Tavares done I highly doubt we get there 2014 1st rounder. I just don't see the Islanders being any better in 2015 which gives us a great shot at McDavid with their pick. I hate to really say this but Regier looks like a genius in this trade . Snow should have never put Moulson in that package. But lucky us!
