Yesterday the Buffalo Sabers traded their star goalie Ryan Miller to the St Louis Blues basically in exchange for goaltender Jaroslav Halak. The Sabres also received forward Chris Stewart and prospect William Carrier plus a 1st and 3rd round draft picks, while the Blues also acquired forward Steve Ott. Clearly the Sabres were going no where this season so this is not much of a suprise.  Both Miller and Halak are unrestricted free agents this season, and rumors have been swirling about Miller for most of the year.  Miller has actually been playing well this season with a .923 save percentage, but his career number is .916 which is close to average.  His reputation comes from his fantastic 2009-2010 season of 41 wins a 2.22 goals against and a .929 save percentage, and his spectacular performance in the Olympics in 2010.  Since then he has been pretty much a middle of the road goalie, albeit with mediocre teams.  Halak has been having a good year with a 24-9-4 record, but the Blues have big time aspirations for the Stanley Cup and felt a need to upgrade the goalie positon.  Interesting that his career save percentage of .917 is actually a bit higher than Millers.  Chris Stewart once was a promising forward scoring 64 points for Colorado in 2009-2010, but he has trailed off badly since then.  He has only 26 points on the season.  Carrier was St Louis 2nd round pick in the 2013 draft, and he has decent numbers in the minors, but nothing exciting.  Ott is just a third line grinder who is supposed to be a defensive forward, but his plus/minus is -26.  Augh!  The main fantasy impact of this trade is with Miller whose value goes up a lot as he is now playing for a much better team, one that has the highest goals for/ goals against numbers in the NHL.  Halak's fantasy value takes a beating while the other players are not really fantasy relevant. It's Miller time!
