If Nolan gets boned a second time here, there's not enough juju in the universe to overcome the ancient Indian burial ground hex that will fall upon that arena.

 

Can we just transfer it to the Ralph? I mean, what's a little more bad magic over there?

There were those rumors about Miller getting a new contract earlier this week. So maybe the Pegula side wanted to keep Miller while the people who know hockey (PLF and Murray} knew they had to trade him? If so - it will be a big black mark against Pegula if he forces Patty out.

If this is about Nolan again, he's never getting another NHL shot. I can't think of anyone else capable of conjuring up this level of dysfunction and confusion wherever they go.

I guess TP could have stopped it though. So I don't see this scenario playing out like this. I could see PLF stepping down because Miller was still a Sabre and the trade was submarined by TP. But the opposite happened.

Going off the wall here:

 

The report came out that the Sabres wanted to resign Miller. Maybe PLF was pushing that front.

 

The NEXT DAY TM comes out and says that a trade is the best move for everybody and that he will not hold contract talks with him. Maybe PLF leaked info to put pressure on Murray to resign him, and the TM pulled the public statement trump card?

 

A day or two later Miller is in St. Louis, PLF is pissed.

Remember this?

 

"I want [Ryan Miller] to retire a Sabre..." ~ Terry Pegula

 

If Ryan Miller wasn't interested in signing an extension then what does it matter what Pegula said? He can't force Miller to sign a contract. He wanted him to sign. Miller did not, apparently.

It must be tough for Nolan. He's a guy whose job it is to win, but the front office's aim is to further dismantle any winning potential from the team. I wonder if Nolan and the FO are not on the same page.

That's only if Pegula knew about the trade. What if TM didn't tell him beforehand?

Another version of this is that if PL quits again, he won't get another shot, either.

Well, Murray didn't bring in Nolan......
