Anybody dude, and for a ton cheaper. It's easy to replace mediocrity with mediocrity. If you are not interested in upgrading the position then you are satisfied with mediocrity. I'm not, I want a better goalie. I think there are a couple of them in the organization now, all they need is a chance, kinda like Miller was given a chance.

Been down this road many a time, do you not remember reading numerous posts about better goalies than Miller? I will not ever understand why some think Miller is the be all end all, nobody is better than him, he is irreplaceable, and every excuse ever is always made on why he stinks the place up. Miller is not very good, and it would not be very hard to replace him. This argument is very R Fitzpatrick like. There are a ton of bright young good goalies that are better than Miller, sorry you have tunnel vision and can not see that, and for me, I could only hope that was his last game in the blue and gold. Time to move on from mediocrity, I would like better at that position. Again R Fitzpatrick like argument.

Not very difficult to find a goalie better than Miller, the league is littered with them. Do you watch anybody other than the sabres? If you did you would see that.

Vanek is better than both Pommer and Gaborik imo.

This is all nonsense. So I guess all the Hall of Fame voters are wrong in the way they decide who is HOF worthy or not. Please!

Fell soooooo far off the table last year his save % was still higher than Millers. What's that say about Ryan? Also fell so far that he improved his save % and gaa, .010 and .03 respectively from the year before with twice the workload. The guy is going to be 24 this summer with 50+ games under his belt. Not much more to prove on his part. When does he get a chance in you eyes? What more does he have to do? Miller is not the answer, time to turn the page and move on. The sooner everyone can except that the better off it will be. also in Enroths 12 game losing streak the sabres scored a total of 19 goals in 12 games. not going to win anything doing that.

No! Rid this team of Miller, Stafford most definitely. If I had to keep one, Vanek is the one I would keep only if a good deal can not be had for him.

Going into last night Tampa was the 2nd highest scoring team, 3rd now. Also the day before in Washington, Tampa scored 4, 3rd period goals to get the game to overtime. Hardly mailing it in.

Nah, don't agree at all. They are both young with good skills and huge upside, Cody has more upside IMHO. I didn't like the trade at first because I liked what Zack brought, but now I think it was a steal for Buffalo.

Fair enough, but that is a lot different that what you had said about him not being sticky, and having no career in the NHL but only Europe. I think he will do just fine in the NHL. He's played 32 games, shouldn't the guy be afforded some more time before he written off as a career Euro player?

Ok, whatever. I'm not overly confident that the former coach had the ability to develop younger guys nor am I confident in the decision making of the GM's ability to write a young guy off as no good. Obviously the GM has no talent in evaluating players, and Ruff punished young guys. I think Brennan stays in Florida, as Dineen had him in Rochester, and he does fairly well. 7 points, a +1 in 11 games on a bad team tells me he isn't totally void of NHL talent like you imply.

Why did they have to waive him at all? could have traded others away, there were things they could have done. They didn't have to get rid of Brennan.

Yep! and he seems as frustrated as us with the lack of effort. Lack of talent can be dealt with and accepted but lack of effort can't and Ott seems like that is really bothering him. I vote to make him captain and give him free rein to confront everybody in that locker room, then tell Darcy ship this guy or that guy out because he just doesnt want to give an honest effort. Otter for captain!!! Get R Dun!

Wow, TJ Brennan has 2 goals 5 assists and +1 in 11 games with Florida. Had to get rid of a young talent like him because he is obviously no good and not on par with Meyers talent level.

Can't really say what would have been better, but I have to believe 4 first rounders would have been way way way more expensive than the $7 million per year Vanek signed for had they kept the picks. Nice stats. Vanek is also 5th in power play goals over the 8 year stretch.

whatever, I work everyday with a Bruins fan and we talk hockey almost everyday and he seems to have no concerns at all about Rask. Anaheim isn't replacing Fasth or Hiller with Miller, it would just never happen.

I think you are out to lunch here buddy. I don't think Boston has any concerns what so ever. Oh, by the way when was the last time Miller succeeded in a playoff series? Anaheim is perfectly fine with their goalies going forward. Miller wouldn't bring anything more to the table than what they already have(he brings less imho).

Detroit, Philly, maybe, it would be close but no sure thing. A definitive no way in either Boston or Anaheim.

I don't know, just had a team trade one of their 3 goalies that are better than our #1. There are a number of teams that have 2 goalies better than our #1 right now. Although unlikely, Miller being a backup somewhere next year isn't 100% out of the question, there are a lot of goalies better than him.

yep exactly, some just have no common sense when the blinders are as thick as they are.

Played on RITs team that went to the Frozen Four I believe.

Enroth would have been crucified if he left a rebound like that

Yep, gearing up for a 7 gamer with the Bruins. Iginla, Morrow, and Murray make them substantially tougher for a Pens/Bruins slugfest. I don't think they would have been able to handle the Bruins in a 7 game series before. Why can't we have a GM like that, must be nice.

Man, that guy sure seems to get hurt a lot.

So much better. Reg season 10/11 Phi 3.12 gpg pp 82% Bos 2.98 gpg pp 82% or maybe it was the playoffs you were referring to Playoffs 10/11 Phi 2.64 gpg 14% pp Bos 3.24 gpg 11% pp Nope don't see it, then again maybe NHL.com is wrong.
