Confirmed with Link: Sabres acquire Colin Miller from VGK for STL's 2nd round pick in 2021 and a 5th round pick in 2022

[Club]

Just glad we didnt have to give up Risto

 

[Aladyyn]

Good job, Jason.

Great job, Jason.

 

[EichHart]

That’s basically nothing for a top 2 dman.

 

[WpgBuffan]

The return and money is nothing. Worth the gamble.

There is no gamble with Miller. He is established and drives play.

 

[Gabrielor]

Not too bad at all. Who's moving?

 

[Jame]

Solid move.

Analytics community loves him... Galant benched him... reality is probably in between.

If given a shot to play with Dahlin and it “works”, could be a steal

 

[Dingo44]

2021 2nd
2022 5th

That's pretty darned good price if he's as solid as I hear.

We don't take on any bad contracts and give up no prospects. I'm shocked about the first part. Good deal for sure. And Miller is relatively inexpensive, and only 26.

Just glad we didnt have to give up Risto

Hopefully we give him up somewhere else.

Botts is a wizard!!!

Wait...

Wat?!

 

[MackAttack26]

f*** yeah

Adding Miller and Montour to our RD in months...two guys I really like.

Botts, you did something!

Also wonder if the means Risto will be dealt...

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

That’s basically nothing for a top 2 dman.

An early (presumably) 2nd is not nothing.

 

[Sabreality]

what did Fletcher pay for 1yr of Braun again? lol

 

[Ehran]

The 2nd round pick isn't even in the next draft. Wow. Liking this more and more.

Ha! And the 2nd round pick came from St Louis, it's not even ours.

 

[Husko]

Cool deal. I wonder if this is a precursor to a risto trade or if we’re just not going to have a single defensive dman anymore.

 

[BloFan4Life]

There is no gamble with Miller. He is established and drives play.

He was benched in Vegas and had attitude issues in Boston. There is definitely gamble there

 

[Husko]

Fancy stats?

 

[Ace]

Good player
Good term
Good money
Good outgoing trade especially having another 2nd in 2021
Good trade
Good job

 

[Buffalo Norsemen]

Does this increase the likelihood of a Risto deal ?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Youngish, signed for 3 more years at team-friendly money. Gave up very little.

Solid move by Botts. Like others have said, I wonder if this predicates a Risto trade.

 

[GellMann]

Great job, Jason.

Yeah Jason! Good deal

 

[Aladyyn]

The 2nd round pick isn't even in the next draft. Wow. Liking this more and more.

Even better, it's the Blues pick lol

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Been hoping for this acquisition all off season. Excellent.

 

[Gabrielor]

Now, get a 2C.

 

[GellMann]

Does this increase the likelihood of a Risto deal ?

4 RHD under contract this year?

I'd say it does. Not a huge amount by itself, but it does. RHD are very valuable.
