HKSR Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 What do you think it would take to pry Miller out of Buffalo? Would love to pair him up with Schmidt here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Probably not much given he has an extra year at 3.875M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My guess is the Sabres will keep Miller to expose meet minimum exposure requirements for expansion. They can then protect Dahlin, Ristolainen, and Jokiharju since Montour and McCabe are UFAs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we were to acquire him, who do we expose? There's no point in acquiring someone and not protecting them. And do we get the Vegas Miller or the Boston/Buffalo Miller?

I'd be interested if Buffalo retained 1/2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he'd only cost us money and wouldn't require protection as a ufa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) If only they would waive their NTC's, I'd offer Roussel or Beagle. Roussel in particular is someone that I'd prefer to see gone, and it'd be a savvy swap IMO to get a well-rounded two-way RHD who can play on both sides of the ice, for less than $4 million. If Edler doesn't come back we would still be in good shape with him, since as recently as when he was with Vegas he was on a heavy lifting pair with Brayden McNabb. Roussel and Beagle for Eakin and Miller would be sweet, and we'd get a 3rd line center and all-round D. Heck I'd be down if we were the ones to throw in the extra late pick in this deal.

86Viking Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Only way is if we send Rooster back in the deal for a closer to even salary swap, still an 800k increase for us too take on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
