There is a very good chance that Ryan Miller will be traded this off-season.

Given the fairwell-like send off he recieved from the Sabre faithfull and his reaction to it, it seems the team and Miller would welcome the change. With only one year left on his contract before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, Miller should be a target for a number of contending teams willing to offer up some picks or young players to acquire the veteran netminder. Stay tuned.

Ryan Miller wouldn't be shocked if the Buffalo Sabres traded him over the summer.

Miller has spent his entire NHL career with the Sabres, but he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2014. "Around this stage of a contract, you have to be realistic," Miller said. "In the last year of your deal, if you're not part of the plan, you become an asset that's tradable. So I'm just trying to stay open to coming back and trying to stay excited about playing hockey games in the NHL if it's not going to work out." Miller is one of the Sabres' most appealing trade chips if they decide to shop him. Although his 2013 numbers aren't impressive, he's still a top-tier goaltender that can carry a good team.

Ryan Miller was excellent in Fridays's 2-1 shootout win over the New York Islanders.

It was Miller's 500th game with the Buffalo Sabres as the 32-year-old is in the final year of his deal. And if that was Miller's last game as a Sabre, it was a nice finish. It's been a tough year for the former All-Star keeper, as he has posted a 17-17-5 record in this 48-game shortened season.

Miller allowed two goals on 42 shots in a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. Tonight will mark the end of the season for the Sabres and Miller's 500th career NHL game. He has a fairly tough matchup against an Islanders team who has clinched a playoff spot.

Ryan Miller has put his Buffalo home on the market.

In the grand scheme, it doesn't mean a whole lot, as Miller spends his summers in California. Still, Miller knows his future with the Sabres is still very much undecided, though the season finale against the Islanders could very well be his last game in Buffalo. The Sabres are rebuilding, and the 32-year-old is in the final year of his deal, meaning he could be moved this offseason. "I don't know which way it's going to go, so I'm not going to talk like I'm gone," Miller said. "I think I've got a lot more hockey in me, so being able to just kind of reflect and enjoy a moment is nice, but it's going to be another hockey game and I have to prepare and compete."

Ryan Miller will play in his 500th game Friday and all of them have come with the Buffalo Sabres.

There has been plenty of speculation that this may be his last match as a member of the Sabres, but he's going to approach it as just another game. "There's been a lot of 'could be last game as a Sabre' the last few years," Miller said. "I'm just trying to enjoy the moment. It's going to be my 500th game. I'm going to approach it the same way I've approached the other 499: Just put your pads on and try to do your best. See where it kind of goes, go out and have fun, try and make the saves and see where it all shakes out." He's gone through a disappointing year in Buffalo's crease during the lockout-shortened season and it's probable that the rebuilding Sabres will try to deal him elsewhere.

Ryan Miller was excellent in Tuesday's 4-2 win against Pittsburgh.

He stopped 40 of the 42 shots he faced in a great rebound effort from a frustrating outing versus New York Rangers last Friday in his last start. Miller was pulled that night after surrendering four goals on 14 shots. It's been a tough year for the former All-Star keeper, as he has posted a 16-17-5 record with a .914 save percentage and a 2.87 GAA.
