OFFICIAL: Ryan Miller, Steve Ott to St. Louis for Chris Stewart, Halak, Carrier and two picks

[TheMatrix31]

I don't think Miller would come back here. What's the point of winning a Cup with a team you're joining at the deadline and no attachment to before going back to the city/team that bred you? I mean obviously yeah, you'd be winning a Cup but how much could it possibly mean? Maybe that's just the way I think.

 

Would it be awesome? Of course. I doubt it.

 

Ott, maybe.

I thought Carrier was Syracuse?

 

Founder is from Angola. Company is from Connecticut.

I've been consistent in my opinion that any trade of Miller was going to be unsatisfactory to me. I don't see the blueprint to success when you trade all your good, seasoned players with ability for draft picks.

used to be here.....the air conditioner invented in the same city it depopulated

Lol, along with the rest of the North!

[wjag]

I think wjag is inconsolable right now. He needs a hug and a good cry.

 

Probably true. I hate the Sabres tonight.

Maybe Murray isn't into building from the goal out?

Good luck with that.

 

Meanwhile, the Sabres with whats left of a once proud franchise have given up 30 SOGs in 2 periods while blistering the opponent with 11 of their own.

Uh, it hasn't done the Sabres much good.

OK, but you can't pretend the Sabres had a choice in the matter.

It had to happen man. Darcy made this mess.

Miller will wear No. 39, Ott No. 29. #stlblues

[bunomatic]

I like this trade if Ott comes back.

I blame Miller not being allowed to wear 39 for his lack of a Cup here.

[JJFIVEOH]

Bring back Ott!

[carpandean]

Any body else just want to hear everything about Adam Vinz, our backup goalie tonight? He's my favorite part of this story so far.

What a moment for a former high school goalie.

Awesome.

 

Would anyone be upset if Enroth pulled his groin?

While I agree with the basic point, I disagree with any notion that Rattie is enough himself to shift a rebuild a few years.

Age. Draft picks in 2015 are 16 years old. Or 17 or whatever. Rattie is ready.

[26CornerBlitz]

Based on what Murray is saying, the Sabres could also get a 2014 1st from the Blues if Miller re-signs there.

So the 2014 could end up being a 1st? I'm guessing if the Blues win the Cup and re-sign Miller.

 

I think I'm liking Timmy Murray even more.

So is McDavid.

Yes please.

I don't think one prospect who is still widely viewed as non quite ready (but very close) as changing a whole lot. I don't care if the prospect is Aleksander Barkov. It takes more than one guy to change years of a rebuild.

2014 draft is before FA period?

[Stoner]

The whole conditional pick thing is not clear. But Murray just said conditional pick could be a first this year (best) to a third in 16 (worst).

[Hoss]

WOAH. Conditional pick changes everything.

 

They got a 2015 first FOR SURE.

 

The conditional pick can become a 2014 first if Miller resigns. That changes EVERYTHING.

 

 

 

EDIT: 26 knows what's up.
