mjd1001 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) He might not want to, but now that both he and the Sabres are eliminated, what would you offer him? Blank Check, he can write his own deal? 6 years, $40 million 3 years, $14 million Nothing, don't want him back? Any other ideas? Personally, I kinda like Miller, but I don't want him back at all. I'm at the point where I want to see what the current crop of young guys do/can turn into. Edited April 28, 2014 by mjd1001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 after that last playoff series and the last 10 games of the season, "I really do appreciate the offer, but we will have to politely decline." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree that I wouldn't want him back, just I'm surprised in the first few responses there aren't a lot that say they want him back. I seem to remember before he was traded, it was about 50-50 whether people wanted him gone, and the ones that wanted him to say were throwing around "give him 6 or 7 years at $7 per year" kinda stuff.

X. Benedict Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I really don't think it makes sense for the team or for Buffalo to invest in Miller. Ott is a possibility. The upside of St. Louis losing is that he probably goes to market. Who wouldn't love playing with Ott. He's probably the funniest chirper in the league.

Eleven Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 8 X 8 If the team were remotely close to contending, I would consider this. (More like 6 x 8 though.) But it isn't, and a great goalie is not going to make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'd love to have Miller back, but that's only to see him in a Sabre's uni again. His return would be a detriment to this team, mostly because it would take away valuable playing time from Enroth, Neuv., Hackett, etc. Plus, if you bring him back it sends the wrong message to the fans and that locker room. We got rid of him to begin in a new, clear direction. Bringing him back would just muddle that image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think Miller wants to be back in Buffalo (he may not be the biggest fan of Nolan) and the Sabres need to see what they have with Enroth and Neuvirth and others in the system. Need to look foward, not backward. The Ducks have had all sorts of goaltending issues in their series with the Stars. They might emerge as an option for Miller, especially if they get bounced by Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I don't even think I'd do it then, to be honest. If Envirth turn out to be Fleury (maybe, maybe not) in three years, you'll re-think this, no? BTW, my prediction is Miller to Pit, for just that reason.

Yeah, I was not being serious at all, my bad for not using an emoticon :P If Envirth turn out to be Fleury (maybe, maybe not) in three years, you'll re-think this, no? BTW, my prediction is Miller to Pit, for just that reason. Guess my assumption was, if we were contenders, I don't know if there'd be much of a goaltending issue that would be fixed by bringing him in, just like was the case in St. Louis, this year.

bunomatic Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'd love to see Ott back. Having Miller back makes no sense for either party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro60 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Miller, on a better team, was not better. Save percentage dropped from .923 to .903. Was not a difference maker in the series. Ryan is past his prime so I would let him play out his career on someone else's roster. Now he realizes that he was on a team that was favored to make a strong run to the Cup but now he is going home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 ###### Miller, he wanted out and he got what he deserved. I hope he never sniffs another playoff series again. Bring back Ott as a Center on fourth line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
