Thoughts from twitter:
Chris Botta (https://twitter.com/ChrisBottaNHL/status/439560320714276864): “If Isles defer Vanek pick to next year, the Sabres have 3 first-rounders and 3 2nd-rounders in the 2015 draft.”
Pierre LeBrun (https://twitter.com/Real_ESPNLeBrun/status/439559040696213506): “Chris Stewart now a good asset for the Sabres. They could keep him, or deal him if price is right. Good position to be in.”
Bob McKenzie (https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/439559022996234240): “I’m told there aren’t likely to be any more BUF moves tonite. I’d say BUF will try to flip Jaro Halak to MIN and Chris Stewart to OTT.”
L.A. Lariviere (https://twitter.com/L_A_theRiver/status/439558757790806017): “Honeslty, I can’t think of one single flaw the Blues have now. People in St. Louis have a true Stanley Cup contender.”
Craig Custance (https://twitter.com/CraigCustance/status/439558286510399490): “Doug Armstrong gets bonus points for pulling off this trade without including Jake Allen.”
Jason Brough (https://twitter.com/JasonPHT/status/439557393672699905): ‘I always thought Chris Stewart would be a big star. Hasn’t really turned out that way. Still could I guess.”
Spector’s Hockey (https://twitter.com/SpectorsHockey/status/439556972061679616): “The #Blues improved their Cup hopes with this move, but don’t anoint them Cup champs yet. Ask the #Penguins how that worked last season.”
Craig Custance (https://twitter.com/CraigCustance/status/439556506619764736): “Agree. Really no reason to keep him. RT @wwheelz2002 @CraigCustance think they flip Stewart for more also #sabres”
Adam Proteau (https://twitter.com/Proteautype/status/439556046294503425): “I like how Tim Murray maximized his assets by pairing them and turning them into pieces he can flip. But I also like the deal for the Blues.”
John Shannon (https://twitter.com/JSportsnet/status/439556029970268160): “Told that the Sabres will pay difference between Halak and Miller salaries, which is 1.75 mil.”
Jason Gregor (https://twitter.com/JasonGregor/status/439555596958695424): “Great trade for Blues… Interesting to see how Hawks respond and Kings. Also expect Doug Wilson to make his usual smart moves. “
The Goalie Guild (https://twitter.com/TheGoalieGuild/status/439555244754599937): “This is just opinion, but I worry about Sabres depth now. Wouldn’t re-sign Halak, Enroth tops out at backup, Hackett still work in progress.”
Andrew Walker (https://twitter.com/FAN590Walker/status/439555014315368448): “Great job Murray for playing game to make it seem Miller market was bigger than it was. Big part of me thinks STL could’ve played hard ball”
Terry Koshan (https://twitter.com/koshtorontosun/status/439554505785765888): “Blues step up. Now interesting to see how/if Ducks, Hawks, Sharks respond in coming days.”
Bob McKenzie (https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/439554328773152768): “I know OTT wants Chris Stewart. I know 3-way STL-BUF-OTT deal was discussed this week. I don’t know (yet) if it’s done or if it will be done”
Jason Gregor (https://twitter.com/JasonGregor/status/439553995191762945): “With all the assets going to Buffalo have to think Miller will re-sign in St.Louis. No way Armstrong gives up that much for rental.”
Craig Custance (https://twitter.com/CraigCustance/status/439553466911170560): “Blues one of the trade destinations where I could see Miller opening up contract talks and signing long-term before free agency.”
Dustin Nielson (https://twitter.com/nielsonTSN1260/status/439553735522394112): “If you’re Ryan Miller why would you not want to sign a long term deal to play for the Blues?”
Pierre LeBrun (https://twitter.com/Real_ESPNLeBrun/status/439553465178542081): “Love that Blues went for it. Miller all along to me was perfect addition for a great team. Watch out West.”
St. Louis Blues (https://twitter.com/StLouisBlues/status/439553005856116736): “Ryan Miller and Steve Ott will meet the team in Phoenix, where we play on Sunday.”
