    this echos the minnesota offer from the michael straw article.

    time will tell, but this is interesting.
    The more recent, credible stuff on TWITTER was saying "all is quiet" per the Minnesota folks. Or the exact wording was "nothing was imminent."

    if they have to trade him, i just hope he stays until after the olympics. i just like the idea of miller heating up and announcers refering to buffalo a lot. if not, then, we got nothing out of him being in the olympics.

    Re: sabres trade winds blowing

    if moulson goes to the kings, a player id like in return (not as a centerpiece) is kurtis macdermid. hes 6-4 and a bruiser. plays hyper physical. i watched him in the OHL earlier this year, and hes just a ****ing bruiser. like chara, actually. not the talent (hes a bottom pairing d-man) but hes just mean and big.

    Kyle Okposo is having a nice year. Would love to see him in place of Stafford. But, sadly, imo the Sabres still need a real #1 center.

    Sabres need to buy out the 8.5 Million of Dead weight on the roster before they do anything.

    you mean before they make trades prior to this deadline?

    they wont buy out leino or stafford during the season. i dont even expect them to buy out stafford at all. leino, ive read, will be bought out this summer.

    Re: sabres trade winds blowing

    So much for the credibility of your Mike Straw:

    • Chad Graff: The price tag for Ryan Miller is too high right now and the Wild don’t want to give up a lot for a rental. Have been told that the Wild are “absolutely not” trading Charlie Coyle or Mikael Granlund.

    Re: sabres trade winds blowing

    More rumors published yesterday:

    • William DePaoli: Clear that Penguins coach Dan Bylsma would endorse the addition of winger Matt Moulson. The Penguins do like him, but they expect a bidding war for him.
    • Chad Graff of the Pioneer Press: The Wild sent two prospects and two picks to the Sabres last year for Jason Pominville and are less likely to make a deal involves their young prospects.


    “I wouldn’t rule anything out, but those deals are hard to make,” general manager Chuck Fletcher said. “It’s tough to give up multiple assets on a yearly basis and stay competitive long-term, so you’re balancing the long term with the short term. Certainly, we’re happy with the deal last year, but that’s a difficult deal to make on a yearly basis.

    “Any deal (we do) has to make sense in the long- and the short-term perspective, in my opinion, for where we’re at in the arch of our franchise.”

    Barring an injury to Darcy Keumper and Niklas Backstrom, it’s unlikely the Wild would make a trade Ryan Miller, someone who they wouldn’t be interested in re-signing. The Wild are optimistic that Josh Harding will be able to re-join the team after the Olympic break.



    • Bob McKenzie: Though there are lots of Ryan Miller rumors, McKenzie doesn’t sense anything if imminent. Things can obviously change quickly. (late morning yesterday)

    I did. But IIRC, you've posted stuff from him before. Everybody believed Eklund and that other hockey guy on Twitter at first. Buyer beware.

    And, FWIW, who knows the credibility of the rumor I posted going against it?

    The reporter "had been told..." It's not like he's giving a direct quote from someone in the front office by name.

    i will still follow straw. hes been a good person to get info from so far. who knows whatll happen. hence why we gotta take these rumors with a grain.

    i dont doubt he got that rumor. who knows where he got it.

    Re: sabres trade winds blowing

    HTM on Sirius/XM said that things have really heated up with Washington and Miller, "Washington was in Buffalo last night and Murray had a long talk with a scout of the Capitals and Washington says that the have offered a pick and a prospect for Miller but the Sabres want a player that will help the club NOW as well." Also the Blues are said to be interested in Miller and said that they would give up a couple of prospects but NO DRAFT CHOICE.

    Sounds like all the NHL GM's know the Sabres have their backs against the wall with Miller.
