Robviously Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is anyone going to miss Miller when he leaves? I ask because he is really the only Sabres goalie I know. When Haske was here I was young and I do remember him but Miller is really the one guy I have always watched. Part of me will be sad when he leaves. It's sort of like when an older relative is at the end of their life, and they're really sick and in pain for months or years. When they finally pass away, you're almost relieved. That's how I feel about this whole thing. I will really miss Ryan Miller the goalie, and Ryan Miller the guy involved in the Buffalo community, and Ryan Miller the goaltender for Team USA. But at the same time the long, painful, protracted exit (which feels like it's been going since the Lucic incident) is just making me want to get this over with. He needs to move on and we need to move on. I definitely will NOT miss the one million posts speculating on what Miller wants or what Miller is like as a teammate. That's been going on since maybe Black Sunday when the thought was that he'd want to bolt for Detroit the first chance he got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Haske was here I was young and I do remember him but Miller is really the one guy I have always watched. Part of me will be sad when he leaves. You will eventually end your player love while your fandom evolves into the pure quest for the Cup mindset. I was very sad the day Perreault retired, but time heals all wounds as they say. Along came PLF and Molginy, then on to the Dominator, D/B and so on. When your young you can afford to look at individual players with adoration, as you get older, if a Championship doesn't produce itself, you forget the individual players and start to look at the larger puzzle and what's needed to complete it for the ultimate prize. And I hope for the fans 27 or so and younger you guys and gals don't have to wait as us older fans have. I'd like a Cup before I end up in the ground, it would be nice. Just one of em, just one. It would make a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Its going to be a pretty quiet place around here when that happens......... How do you figure? We're nowhere near resolution of Kassian vs. Hodgson. Stafford and Leino are still bums. Debate of a GM's job of winning trades vs. building a team still has legs. There's always the win games now vs. win seasons later disagreement. Well find things to argue about, darnit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My seats are at the end of the rink we are at in the first and third period. I will very much miss miller. Over the years the dude has provided many saves that have caused the crowd to stand and applaud and hail MILLERRRRRRR!!!!!! I will really miss him.

dudacek Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 He's among the all-time best Sabres. Of course I'll miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes. Huge fan of his. But equally, I want to see him win a cup. So I think it will be bittersweet. I still hope he resigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was hoping he re signed because as bad as we are with him, I'm afraid of how very bad we will be without him. However I think if he was going to re sign it would have happened by now. Combine that with some of the comments from GMTM and you can see the writing on the wall. Time to pull the trigger on a deal. Wish him well and see if he wants to come back for his last two years in a back up role and be a participant of a cup run here. Thank you Ryan for all you have given us over the years. Best of luck with your new team and hope you win a cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something needs to be done real soon...Sign or got off the boat... I think he'll be on the team through the break, but he'll be gone within the few days following the end of trade freeze.

thewookie1 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 If we were to attempt to trade Miller for Tarensenko, how much of the trade would Miller be worth? 25% 50% 75% ? I'm not naïve to think Miller for Tarensenko is possible, however with the depth St.L has already and their need for a vet potentially elite goalie if Murray were to insist on Tarensenko do you think it could happen? In the ideal scenario we'd have 3 teams(St.L, Minn{Harding still injured}, Wash) bidding at Miller, and potentially a couple others. (Anaheim? NYI? Chicago even?)

Kristian Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 If Miller resigns here, they need to make Leino captain if they're to ever have a legitimate shot at McDavid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contending teams don't trade impact players away. They use prospects and picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Miller said he hasn't had any conversations regarding a contract extension or trades. Says he still doesn't know what the plan is. And he hinted at/basically said that the trade list was submitted in the summer. He said "anything is possible" when asked if tomorrow will be his last game here. When asked if he has told the team whether or not he wants to be here he said he wouldn't share that info with the media.
