OFFICIAL: Ryan Miller, Steve Ott to St. Louis for Chris Stewart, Halak, Carrier and two picks

[PASabreFan]

WOAH. Conditional pick changes everything.

 

They got a 2015 first FOR SURE.

 

The conditional pick can become a 2014 first if Miller resigns. That changes EVERYTHING.

 

 

 

EDIT: 26 knows what's up.

 

Where's the "if Miller re-signs" coming from?

From a question to Murray at the Presser and his answer.

It becomes a first round pick in 14 instead of a third if the Blues make the Conf final or Miller re signs with the Blues

 

 

Either Miller resigns or they make the conference finals. Methinks this pick will be a 2014 first.

[26CornerBlitz]

Boom!!!

 

@BuffaloSabres

#Sabres get a 2014 first round pick if St. Louis makes Western Conference Finals this year or if Miller re-signs with Blues.

Yinz previously worked as a video scout for the Sabres. He served in a similar capacity for the Clarkson University hockey team. According to a media release from the school in 2007, Yinz attempted to walk on for Clarkson's NCAA Division I hockey team. He did not make the team, but did serve as the team's video coordinator. Yinz was a three-year starting goalie at Lancaster (N.Y.) High School, according to the release.

 

D4rk, did we go to highschool with this kid?

[TheMatrix31]

That's in addition to the 2015?

 

Good ######. They gotta win, then.

[Jeanbe]

I like this more and more! Blues to the Cup!!! I have no problem with Ott and Miller winning the cup with another team. WOW.

EITHER OR? That's ###### awesome!

 

They should tank, then Miller should sign. Too risky?

[Robviously]

Boom!!!

Wow. Liking the trade a lot more for this.

Same colors and they are playing well.

The whole conditional pick thing is not clear. But Murray just said conditional pick could be a first this year (best) to a third in 16 (worst).

 

I'm surprised they didn't report it as a 2014 1st and a 2015 1st, and let the conditions leak through the media over the next month......

 

Oh sorry...meant for the WEASEL thread.....

[Derrico]

So if the blues win two rounds we end up with a late first this year, a first next, Stewart, halak and a prospect, pretty decent haul for two good rentals.

Yea, normally you here "conditional 1st rounder" or something like that instead of it being reported as a conditional 3rd rounder in two years.

[LastPommerFan]

 

 

I would have guessed condition was STL playoff results.

 

Nailed it

[Hoss]

Now that I've heard the conditions I love the move. I'll be head over heels for it if we move Steward and/or Halak for anything worthwhile.

 

Renaud Lavoie just retweeted Brian Lawton's report that Miller wouldn't be traded haha. Cold.

[shrader]

I wonder how the language is written out on that one. There must be some hard cutoff on the re-signing due to the timing of the draft.

[North Buffalo]

Still trying to digest, but sorry to see Otter go... Hopefully he will come back. Glad they got some good young return for both.

[Nitro60]

These still don't realize that they are supposed to tank! Geez.

[nobody]

EITHER OR? That's ###### awesome!

 

 

I would have expected an 'and'. An 'or' is super. If the 'or' happens and Ott re-signs with the Sabres; this trade might rank up right there with a Darcy trade.

Buffalo AT St. Louis April 3

 

I have tix for that game....!

[26CornerBlitz]

Murray is no novice when it comes to evaluating players and now making deals. The guy knows the league and prospects despite the skeptics doubts.

[Hoss]

######. I was ready to call this Tanksgiving but this team doesn't want to cooperate. Why is it we find a great coach at the wrong time?
