Blues acquire Ryan Miller from Sabres in 5-player deal

Clearly, Armstrong has a good poker face, but he was also right: The Blues didn’t have much rational, measurable reason to dump Halak and spend valuable draft picks on a goalie who has similar numbers.

Yet Armstrong made the pricey move anyway.

After all, goaltending was the one perceived weakness in St. Louis, and Miller is a household name around the league that not only has a stellar reputation, but is also having one of his best seasons to date while playing behind the worst team in the league.

This should make the Blues better, and let’s face it, it probably does.

The end of an era in Buffalo sports is fast approaching.

The Buffalo Sabres certainly will be one of the league’s busiest teams before the trade deadline on March 5, with numerous options for contending teams to try and boost their rosters.
