So much for the Miller porn...

Meh. Miller will likely get Russia Saturday. All that matters is the knockout rounds really.

Re: Quick on start first game...

Can you imagine what Miller would be worth if he does not start any of the knock out round games because he has a bad group game?

Lucky to get a 3rd rounder for him then.

Might as well keep him and let it play out.

Good - keep him fresh for the playoff push.... Oh wait

Murray said today that "he doesn't think Millers trade value will not increase or decrease even if he won a Gold medal or not!, the Olympics and NHL are two completely seperate things".

Typical GM speak. Notice how he said that winning a good will not affect the trade value but didn't say anything about the actual quality of Miller's play. The team could win gold with Miller never touching the ice or he could play well and they won't make it out of group play if everyone else sucks (see: Buffalo Sabres for the last 5 years).

So, teams will be watching Miller and Murray knows it.

If Miller stops everyone in the world from scoring, how wouldn't his value improve ?

The market is already set on him....

Winning/loosing a few more games won't change it.

Re: Quick on start first game...

Btw, this thread epitomizes what I hate about my fellow Buffalo fans:

Miller's going to Sochi. "Oh good, another performance like 2010 will up his trade value,"

Miller's not starting. "Oh Good- if he had a bad game in group play it'll hurt his trade value!"

Wait, what? Do you want the guy to showcase his skills or not? Make up your damn mind.

Re: Quick on start first game...

A couple bad games on the big ice won't do anything to effect his trade value.

Slovakia VS USA is on right now, Quick in net.

I wonder if a bad Olympics by Halak would help rise Miller's value by decreasing Halak's value for St Louis and make Blues management realize Halak is not a goalie to get your team the cup.
