Cap space clearing by Vegas. We all knew he was the odd man out besides Haula. Big win for Buffalo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY they dont even need rhd, so bogo or risto might be on the way out

Vegas is doing what I do sometimes in hockey management games, renew everyone and go over the cap then just trade everyone I don't need for picks

Imo leafs should've been in on Miller, they could've 1 up'd BUF's offer

Absolute Steal For Buffalo

What a huge win for the Sabres

If Botteril really wants playoffs this year for Buff they need to continue to make moves like this. Next you move Ristolainen for a legit top 6 Forward and you're in business. The only question mark is goaltending for the Sabres right now. Hutton and Ullmark are a decent one-two but to get to the playoffs they need to upgrade at that position for more consistency.

And ppl were telling me im overpaying while sending Timashov, Borgman, 2nd and 3rd to VGK......

Gj BUF, building D with pace right after CHI.....

Better cap clearing trade than the Haula one. A second is really nice to get back. I've still been waiting to get completely fleeced because of the cap situation but it still hasn't happened.

Dubas wouldn't throw in a 7th VEG would ask for.

Leafs could've really used him. Good trade for Buf.

Also, Steve Dangle is going to be really pissed!

GMGM resigned because he knew how bad of a spot he put the team in. Now KM has to take all of the **** because he was forced to make moves. Buffalo took advantage of Buffalo's cap situation.

Vegas is still over the cap...

Vegas got overpaid af

Buffalo was team with cap space to make a trade for picks only. The Leafs will be well over the cap...assuming they sign Marner. Even Tampa, Jets would like to added a RHD...,no cap.

good move for buffalo.
For toronto to trade they would have had to give up a 1st. Buffalo will be picking top to mid round, toronto toward the bottom.
An extra pick doesn't make up for that alone, let alone sweeten the deal.

intentional salary cap dump n a steal. Vegas only thought of Miller as a 2nd thought. I wonder if Miller wants to play in Buffalo?

A few more players like that n they'll be under Sal cap!

Honestly dont know much about this player. Looking at his CF profile looks like given a better opportunity in Buffalo he may have a huge upside and possibly a steal for the Sabres.

Please don't trade Risto.

Agreed. That's cheap for a RHD! We should have been all over that. But I'm guessing since we're in the same conference it wouldn't have been an option.

RHD are such a precious commodity in the league right now. But, BUF will still suck next season. Probably 6th or 7th in the Atlantic.

I'm beyond disgusted to the point I wont support Vegas at all until Trash Reaves is gone, Goon GAllant, along w/ the clown GM:GM... Colin Miller was one of my favorite players on Vegas who I liked since he was on Manchester Monarchs... I hope Vegas NEVER makes the playoffs again for this horrible idiotic trade that shows they don't know a damn thing about hockey or reality...

Miller fastest skater in AHL along w/ having the Hardest Shot... Only player on Vegas who is a legit QB on the PP, best contract on defense along w/ player... The only legit right shot RD they have in entire franchise... So now they will be playing 5 or 6 crap no talent D-men including their over paid 5M plus left shot guys who were exposed... Hell Sbsis or other trash were playing with this guy but they claimed he was weak in his own zone??

I can't put into words how angry I am, upset isn't even the word... I'm probably done with the NHL until the off side rule is gone like the 2 line pass off side idiotic rule was finally killed off... He was their BEST D-man by a grand canyon mile especially in opening season... Hell they couldn't even get a 1st rounder for their best blue liner... A team in its 2nd or 3rd year already in cap trouble has no excuses... Paying Fleury at least twice what he is worth.. Max getting 7M when he isn't worth 5 or 6 on his best day.. STone getting 9.5M who is not a top tier player nor will he ever be... Guy is a power forward who will boom or bust...

You can't pay anybody more than 10% or upper limit 11% of the actual cap... Hence 81.5M the max salary is 8.15M to about 9M or so. League to survive will have to limit teams to paying 2-3 players 10% to 11% of the current cap at time of contract signing otherwise it will be a former league in about 5 years...

I just hope they put some Miller jerseys on sale, that some team competing didn't offer a 1st rounder for him shows why they wont ever win anything... Remember Vegas while Miller was on bench lost on a SHG in OT vs. Sharks w/ crap STone on his point... Also game 1 vs. them they had no talent HOldin in over Miller having no PP effective goals... I"m so upset, Kings traded Miller to Bruins in the horrible Lucic trade along w/ Martin Jones and 1st rounder... Look how great that worked out for them, Jones would go on to play in SCF while Bishop nearly won a Vezina as they stuck w/ injury prone over the hill Quick .

1. Folks in Bufalo are going to be disappointed when they see Miller actually play and he blows his coverage multiple times a night.

2. I'm so happy Colin Miller is back in our division

with what cap space they just gave away a 1st round pick to eliminate 6m$
