Ryan Miller

[uator10]

Is Miller a good candidate for a buy low going into his final year of the contract? Thinking about sending brodie and yandle for him but that may be too much to give up

[ericdaoust]

I really don't think this is a good idea for you. If you trade one of them for a goalie you should try for someone much better.

[Eskimo Brother]

Definitely not who you're looking for. On the decline, Markstrom pushing him for starts, and no team (defence) in front of him? I wouldn't be paid to take him on my team.

[The Bottlenecker]

Miller = last night's pot roast. Stick a fork in him, he's done. Find a better option, and it shouldn't be hard.

[Yonald]

I think Miller gets moved in the off season. I believe he doesn't have a NTC for this upcoming season.

He hasn't played poorly on Vancouver. I imagine most of his "poor play" can be blamed on the Canucks horrible D.

To answer your question I believe he could have good value but he needs a change of scenery. I wouldn't move either Brodie or Yandle for him though

[GoNucks]

I agree I think he is moved, I could see a team like the NYI (although he wants to be on the West Coast) or Anaheim as a replacement for Andersen.

I think he is a solid buy low, but sending Yandle & Brodie is an overpayment, two 40+ point dmen for a goalie (currently) on a terrible team is too high of a price, I would try Brodie + a pick.

[Fast Tony DeNiro]

I don't know if Miller is totally done, but Yandle and Brodie is way too much. If you need help in net and have to overpay that's fine... But Miller isn't the one to overpay that much for.

[Pit Bulls]

There are a number of teams that come to mind if Miller gets moved - both those in need of a G and those that have to make decisions about their G's due to expansion.

Expansion will hurt his chances as a combination of Fleury/Murray, Andersen/Gibson, Bishop/Vas could be moved and they are better options than Miller. His salary will also hinder his movement.

Based on that, I think moving Miller will be tough to move but he could go to a team that needs help getting to the cap floor.

[STONE.]

I think moving Miller would be awesome for the Canucks, but I have a hard time seeing it happen. His contract isn't terrible, but not great. And with all the other goalies that are probably available (Anderson/Gibson, Fleury/Martin, Bishop/Vasilevskiy, Elliot/Allen, Lehtonen/Niemi, Reimer, etc.) I think he's probably a tough trade for Benning to get done.

[pmorrow]

Miller really hasn't been good since he left Buffalo - horribly inconsistent. Even the first year when they made the playoffs, it wasn't him that led that charge. I would avoid him, he's nothing but a headache. He would have started even less than he did this past season if the Canucks weren't so obviously trying to justify paying him as much as they did.
