LeafSuck16 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's been a while boys, so please bare with me. I know this is coming from everyone's favorite blogger, Ek, but he mentioned that the Flyers maybe interested in Miller. Said something like giving up Schenn. Miller is about a half million higher cap hit than Bryz, but a consistently top goaltender in the league. From what I have seen and heard, Miller is also a leader, where Bryz is more of a distraction than anything else. I would like to give Mason a shot and hate to give up Schenn, but Mason is really unproven and they have quiet a few young forwards. I think Miller has quiet a few more years in him, he is only 32. Try to sign him for 4 yrs (I think signed for 2 more already and may want a long final contact) and keep Mason in the wings. Would like to keep Schenn and ride Mason, but they may be in the same situation with their goaltender if Mason flops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post radoran Posted May 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2013 Miller's a UFA after next season. Giving up a BSchenn for him is ludicrous.A draft pick for negotiating rights next June? Sure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I like Miller but no way would I give up Schenn (either one) for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafSuck16 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 So buy out Bryz and roll with Mason? Any other options at goaltender in the UFA market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Would make little sense to me if you are giving up young talent for someone that is only one year away from FA. I like Miller but I am not giving up a lot unless he would be signed to an extension at a very reasonable and short term cap hit which is not happening... It is eklund too so I would think he is throwing **** at the wall to see if it sticks as usual. Edited May 23, 2013 by murraycraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think we had this thread a month ago? Anyway...Screw that weak minded fool (Miller or Ek, but in this case I mean Miller). He can't handle pressure, and learned the art of whining from his ironically named former coach, Ruff. Ryan was good in the Olympics, but with his age getting up there, I think his best days are already behind him now.I'd trade them Briere, but that's about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just grin and bear it.Next year Halak, Elliott, Miller, Hiller, Crawfordhttp://www.capgeek.com/free-agents/?year_id=2014&team_id=-1&position_id=G&fa_type_id=2And, of course, Lundqvist once the Rangers figure out how to play the "blame the goalie" game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think Miller would fold in a big market city. Doom... you are right! He is a whiny little bastard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafSuck16 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Sorry Doom, must have missed it. Haven't posted in a while, but usually read up on things. He's 32, Bryz is 32 and they pretty much signed him for the rest of his career. Ruff may whine, but he is a top notch coach and wouldn't mind him coaching the Flyers.

Ruff may whine, but he is a top notch coach and wouldn't mind him coaching the Flyers.I meant to harm with the month ago note, the Flyers "season" has made me a little grumpy, my bad.I wouldn't sign any goalie solely because we have a worse option on the roster. The 32 and 32, plus high cap hits doesn't seem like a success to me.Ruff is a garbage coach who would have been fired years ago, but no one wants to go to the city of Buffalo. I don't want him neutering the Flyers.What about Alain Vingeaut though...? I wonder if his job was mortally bound to Kesler's health.

LeafSuck16 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 No worries Doom, it has been a while posting and must have just missed the Miller thread. I think Ruff is a good coach. His squads have had a descent D and the O produced. maybe I'm wrong. I dig Laviolette, but no thought of working on D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with Bryz and Mason for next season, then buy out Bryz and there should be some decent pickings in the goalie free agent market. In addition to the ones you mention I like Hiller too.Edit: Oh. You mentioned Hiller. Damn you. Edited May 23, 2013 by JackStraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promote Hatcher for all I care, just get someone in there who knows what they are doing with the D. Isn't Terry Murray coaching in the A somewhere?

jkearse123 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The only way I'm sending Schenn to Buffalo is for Tyler Myers. If Torts gets fired, I'd take him as the coach over Lavy. I don't think Ruff or Vigneault is a better option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Miller is practically a lateral move from Bryz. He's a headcase who hasn't done squat in years. He may be better but also has a worse caphit and if you tried to lower it when his contract is up he'd likely thorw a fit and start crying. And that's not even taking into consideration giving them Schenn for him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I've always found Miller to be overrated. He's a career .915, 2.59.Bryz? .913, 2.55.No thanks on Miller. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think a certain member here would go ape if Miller left the beloved Sabres and joined the dark side in Philadelphia. Logically he is a distraction with all his crying. He has not been clutch in years (2009-10) and he is no where near the cost of either Schenn. At least not at this juncture of his career. Too old, too expensive, too close to being a UFA. I have a feeling that we will see another year of Bryz with a lot of exposure of Mason.If all else fails, Homer can overpay monetarily when he is a UFA next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 No thanks. Not for Schenn, not for money...pass on the most overrated keeper in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way with either torts or ruff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
