Question to everyone regarding Ryan Miller

Two things:

1) Those who see Miller play a lot say he is a good goaltender, but not a great goaltender.

2) Buffalo has a self-imposed salary cap somewhere in the 40s.

Im not anti Howard, but I want a goalie who is dependable and can steal the occasional game. Be it Howard, Miller, Old Mother Hubbard, whomever. There will have to be a replacement somehow somewhere. Just need to get it in place NOW.

Quick question for those of you who want Miller in the Winged Wheel...

Am I the only one who sees him as Jiggy Junior, his pads are only a little bit smaller than Jiggy's. His shoulder flaps are slightly better than Jiggy's.

I am not saying he isn't good, but in my opinion, if you want to support Miller in that gear you should be willing to give Jiggy the benefit of the doubt as well.

I would prefer not to pay top dollar for a goalie until Lidstrom retires. No current defenseman out there will make an impact like Lidstrom, but a goalie might come close.

Give Howard a shot, but if he is not elite by the time Lidstrom retires, then the Wings should make a run for Luongo.

They were talking about Miller today on WGR550. His interview made it sound like he's going to see how the Sabres treat Paul Gaustad and Jason Pominville before/during/after his negotiations. They really made a mess of the Drury/Briere/Campbell contracts here, so they will aggressively try and keep Miller.

I was listening to Jimmy Howard and the Griffins play on Sunday. I think they should continue developing him. The fans here are starting to worry about Miller and the occasional bad goal he lets up.

Miller is one of the better tenders in the league, it wouldn't be as if the Wings had Cloutier in net if he came here. There are better goalies but there are worse.

What goalie doesn't allow the occasional bad one ???
