I didn't say it was a stupid question. I just don't really see how one could think Halak has a lot of value. Goalies in general don't have much value at all. I agree that the right deal is the one that helps bring us a cup. Would Miller make us better? Absolutely. But I highly doubt that the difference between Halak and Miller is what puts us over the hump to the cup. We're scoring right now, but that will most likely change. The same thing happened last year. The offense started off hot and then cooled off. There's no doubt that a scoring by committee strategy can be effective during the regular seiason, but during the playoffs you need that go to offensive player. Every team that has won a cup recently has had at least one, if not more go to guys. We're lacking that. So for me, it's not that I don't want Miller, it's that if we are going to give assets up, I feel like that one missing piece up front is more needed.
Great Post.
What Miller brings to the Blues will not put them over the cup hump. They cannot rely on goaltending. I don't even care who is playing goalie come playoff time. This team will need to score to win, and they will need to not rely on their defense and goalie. Any of Elliot, Miller, and Halak can get hot come playoff time and out perform each other, no matter the regular season.
