Eklund: Buffalo making a push at A. Miller?

From Eklund's site:

letsgobuffalo: Any news about the Sabres, and/or Satan?
Eklund> Satan is going to be out of there....But a buffalo source saif
they will go hard after Aaron Miller...."The Sabres need a stay
at home D-Man. The Sabres can afford His $2.6 ticket. McKee and
Warrener took the Sabres to The Cup in 99; Miller and McKee
might get a chance to do it this season"

Biron for Miller anyone?

christ no!

I know we are short on D, but that is no reason to throw $2.6m at a vastly over rated, injury prone player. I tell you how much i want Miller in Buffalo - I would rather we kept Biron and paid him that salary.

I hope Eklund lives up to his reputation on this one.

Precisely.

My personal feelings about Eklund's "sources" aside...

Ugh, if this is true then it's just the final kick in my junk from Sabres front office this week.

Miller's not worth it. At that price with his injury history no way. If he wasn't from Buffalo nobody would be mentioning him (ahem, Todd Marchant Syndrome).

Miller's worth 2.6 mil but they need to nickel and dime another 150K out of McKee?

This can't be true, it can't.

What's the deal with Miller and not wanting to play in Buffalo?

When Miller was an UFA he was asked about signing with the Sabres and said he didn't want to have the pressure of playing in his home town. He may have been being diplomatic. It sounds better than "no way in hell do I want to sign with a team that can't make the playoffs let alone has a shot at the cup".

Buffaloed, from what I've been told, he isn't being diplomatic. He really doesn't want to play for the Sabres.
