The elitest of the elite.

If a 1st round pick in this years draft + a top 6 F + a top 4 D + a top prospect are what you think you will get in return for Miller then why would you even include Philly on that list. I know you will be lucky to get half that for him but do you really think Philly can give up all that your nuts they need help on D and their forwards didn't produce anywhere close to the level they had expected this year. Is Calgary not in a rebuild ? why would they offer everything they just got for a aging goalie? come on man !

Nobody thinks that. Ok, nobody besides Garth thinks that. More like, late 1st 2013 or 1st 2014 + mid prospect + mid rd pick next year. That, I think is that best deal you could possibly make. And that with the Sabres eating half of Millers salary and cap hit. Alternatively, you could get a bigger return by taking back a bad contract like Meszaros.

I could see:
To Philly: Miller + 2nd rd pick 2014
To Buffalo: 11th overall, Andrej Meszaros, Rights for Kurtis Foster and Simon Gagne
With Buffalo retaining half of Miller's cap/salary.

I think to grab the 11th you are probably going to have to change the 2nd in '14 to 2nd in '13. I also don't know about the rights to both of those players either.

i would decline. i do like the idea of shedding mesz' cap hit, but #11 is the deal breaker. deep draft, top 5 type talent will be available at 11

Yeah, but you're probably a rational human being, not Paul Holmgren.

Priority college FAs always get at or near rookie max. It's just the way it works.

Heck no! No more then a 2nd. You're whole fan base is delusional in thinking Miller has significant trade value!
