Shhhh, let him have his tantrum over how the Bills will always suck..........

worst part about it is that its happening to guys that they would have been looking to sell off at the deadline to get stuff for.They might end up healthy scratching who ever is remaining on the roster with any trade value just ot make sure they stay healthy for a trade

This trade on its own, I agreePersonally i don't see it as a move all on its own though, If it is done this way, Millers on the move in a seperate deal whoch would make Bernier the new #1 in Buffalo, and they would be looking to make up for the lost talent between Vanek and Brown in that deal. Bernier has the potential to be a #1 and that won't happen in LA with Quick. The Sabres get a replacement for Miller (they will be giving up an edge in net losing Miller, but hopefully getting keys back in other spots to improve the rest of the team It shouldn't matter if the hit was to one of the Sabres little guys, to one of the bigger names, or to one of the bottom guys, all that should matter is that the hit was on someone wearing the same jersey as them. If you wear that jersey, your one of us and we protect each other out there

Are you saying this is good or bad for the Sabres, cause I can understand it either way.................. I think the good outways the bad though Bad - Alot of penalty minutes, Myers probably gets beaten up and will look even weaker then he is (better to have people think your tough) Good - sticks up for another player showing solidarity amongst teammates, shows they won't sit back and let guys push them around, and Myers is off the ice for a good chunk of the game where he can't help the canes score on his net...........

Your giving up alot of talent for brown, but also getting alot more talent back in Bernier over Enroth......

That could make sense, and would almost also guarantee that NK was right and Miller is on his way out in a seperate deal (or one of bernier or Miller would then be moved, but I doubt they make a deal to get Bernier with no intention of keeping him)

C'mon, Myers skated over and tapped him on the skate with his stick, then pressed his body against him, what more do you want???? Nice guys finish first, right?

Drane is fantisizing over cucumbers in his apple pie I think............

1st, Yes statistically your best chance to get the best player in the draft that year is by having the first choice. That is true, no one is going to argue that your best chance statistically to get the most talented player in that years draft is to have the 1st overall pick. How that player and their talent level compared to the talent already in the league is going to help you become a winning team is impossible to say. Talent can be found anywhere, not just through the draft, and not just at the top of the draft. The leagues list of top players is filled with players found in places other then early in the draft. Hockey is a team sport that requires a full team to be successful. The current Edmonton Oilers are a great example of this, they made the cup finals the year after the lockout and since then they have picked at the very top of the draft for the last 3 straight years and appear to be no better each year. Are the Islanders a winning team now because of the players they have been obtaining at the top of the Draft?

For the Sabres? maybe on the radar of players to be traded at the deadline to other teams............ Who would Buffalo give up for those guys, and if your going to say Miller/Vanek/Pominville, aren't those basically lateral type moves if your not keeping them? I thought those guys had to be moved to continue the youth movement rebuild! As for Vinny being on IR, can the Sabres trade Leino on IR for Vinny on IR? (NOTE - Thats a joke for those who may not have a sense of humor)

Thats the only way it would happen, there would have to be other teams involved where Miller would go to the 3rd team, with that third team sending something to LA, OR it would be done in 2 seperate trades where the Sabres could trade Miller somewhere for someone, then make a move with LA to acquire Bernier It just keeps popping up where people keep saying "Miller to LA for Quick/Bernier", that will never happen, and no one has been able to give any reason why the Kings would even take a second to consider that deal

There it is, thats my post I was refering to earlierThe response your going to get "I never said picking 1st overall leads to winning or being good" I'm sure that if you expanded what I did to include the top 5 picks over those 12 years, your going to find alot of those #1 overall teams picking in those spots too.............

AGAIN, WHY WOULD THE KINGS WANT TO TAKE ON MILLER??????????They don't need a starting goalie, they potentially have 2 already who are both younger and cheaper and could both be starters. If they were going to use Bernier to try and get something from the Sabres, its going to be for someone not named Miller and is more likely to include Enroth then Miller so they have a cheap body to fill in as a backup (if they don't already have someone in their system to come in and be a backup) Miller going to LA is even less likely then the Sabres being able to get Crosby AND Malkin from the Pens for Scott and McCormick straight up

Your not getting Bernier from LA unless your going to give up something Big, and it won't include Miller because THE LA KINGS HAVE NO USE FOR MILLER SINCE THEY ALREADY HAVE QUICK

Why would the Kings even consider something like that? What would be their reasoning for trading Quick (a younger goalie who is viewed as one of the better ones in the league) for Miller?Maybe if the Deal was Vanek/Pominville and Miller for Quick it might be something they think about (not saying vanek and Pominville, i'm saying either/or). At the very best, its a lateral move for the Kings who IIRC, would be taking on a larger, soon to be expiring contract of an older goaltender

I think the exception is that bottoming out to get the #1 overall pick makes you a winnerI had psoted before, the last 12 years of #1 overall picks and their teams success, I just can't remember where I posted it. Only Chicago and Pittsburgh have gone on to win cups after drafting at the top. The teams drafting at the top of the draft in the last 12 years Islanders - 2 #1's Thrashers (Jets) Blue Jackets Capitals Blues Lightning Oilers - 3 #1's in a row Out of those teams, the Blues are getting good, the jets appear to be middle of the pact and slowly improving, and the Capitals and Lighting are a roller coaster of up and down seasons. The Blue jackets, Oilers and Islanders continue to be bad teams.

Wow, sorry Mrs. Enroth, didn't know it was your time of the month.............

He might be headed to the vatican, but its only to cheer on the naming of Saint Terry Pegula as the new Pope............

Its called a joke.............People with something called a sense of humor would understand....................

Definitly possibe, but I can almost guarantee that the trade will not involve Miller going to the Kings (I wouldn't rule out the Sabres trying to get Bernier though if they are actively looking to dump Miller though)

I don't think that the list is submitted at any point during the season, only when the team asks him for one. So if he asks for a trade, or the team is interested in moving him they would ask him for the list that he would then provide.

Actually no, N missed the point, he still thought Enroth was at .910%, not .911%

But TPs filthy rich and lves to throw money around like its candy so he can just buy out Bryz at the end of the season and do the Flyers a favour by making them better......

LA has no need to trade for goaltending right now unless they deal Bernier away. Quick is going no where, and with the year he had last year, LA is not looking at getting a replacement #1. Miller isn't going anywhere to be someones backup, maybe in an uncapped NHL where teams could spend til their owners wallets were empty a team might try and stockpile as much of the best talent as possible and could decide to make a move to get him, but thats not reality. LA would be more likely to have an interest in Vanek or Pominville before Miller. Heck, They would probably have more interest in Stafford then a #1 goalie.......... Didn't you here the update, he is now better then Roy, he is now at .911%!Wow, one win in over a year and its back to deal Miller, Enroths ready to take over the #1 spot around here from some (not refering to you n)..............

I think you mean Darcy and Lindys guys, or do we only say that Ruff had control over the roster for things that are bad? ;)
