Examining the Sabres’ Goaltending Situation Since Ryan Miller’s Departure

My colleague Andrew said it well on Twitter: the Buffalo Sabres goaltending situation has been an insane drama since Ryan Miller left.

I decided to take a little deeper dive, and he certainly isn’t wrong.

To set the scene: Miller’s last game with the Sabres was February 25, 2014, a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at First Niagara Center. Three days later, the Sabres shipped Miller out to St. Louis along with Steve Ott in exchange for Jaroslav Halák, Chris Stewart, William Carrier and a pair of draft picks.

Miller would go on to play an additional 256 NHL games with the Blues, Canucks and Ducks before retiring in 2021.
