All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
So it sounds like you take what you can get and just move on..Teams may have offered 2014 draft picks for Miller but since they say this draft is pretty much poop.
Murray may be trying for 2015 picks and teams are not willing to go that route..The other GM's are aware that Murray is not dealing from a position of strength.
Anyone have any idea what the teams are that Miller will not agree to get traded to?
And who do you think is a viable option for Miller at this current time?
They gave up an ECHL player to get him. If they can now turn him into a 3rd round pick (or higher), then they got the use of veteran player for a partial season and can turn Riley Boychuck, who is not good enough for the AHL, into a pick that could turn into an NHL player,even if it is just a depth guy.
I do know as of tonite Sabres are busy...
Don't be surprised to see Ryan moved in the next few days!!
Look for a Few players in return and a pick!!!!
I have a feeling I will not see Ryan next week here in Tampa!!
Ryan is ready for whatever happens, I do know he can't wait till the deadline is over so he can finish the season!
On insider trading Dreger and Bob McKenzie mentioned that there are rumors going around of a possible 3 way trade between us, the Blues, and the Wild for Miller. They mentioned that we would want Jake Allen from the Blues, and that Halak may be involved as well.
We need Miller and we need Ott. Draft picks are not as important as in the NFL ! I wish one time a player would say if you trade me I retire, money has ruined most sports because the agents get thier cut where ever the player has to go. Almost everytime we have sent a player awa, what we have gotten in return has been a bust!!!!!!
Miller will be 34 next season. He will be in his late 30s by the time this team is ready to make a run, so we need to be thinking about goaltending post-Miller anyway. Plus, there is no guarantee we can re-sign him, so if we don't sign him, we risk losing our best asset for nothing. Trading him is the most logical move.
As far as Ott, he's Goose with slightly better hockey skills. I like him but he's not irreplaceable. I do think he will be easy to re-sign if he doesn't get trades. His salary is manageable and he wants to be here.
I'd love to see them trade Ott to someone, then re-sign him when he becomes a FA in the off-season. We'd get compensation and all we'd lose is Ott's services for two meaningless months.
