Buffalo, NY ~ The Buffalo Sabres have signed a second goalie in as many days, this time reaching a deal with the player everyone expected they would go after. Ryan Miller signed a 3 year deal for the rookie maximum and will be reporting to Buffalo Tuesday evening.
Yesterday, the Sabres signed Curtis Sanford to act as the third string goaltender and start in Rochester. Today, the signing of Miller, obvisouly the "goaltender of the future" for Buffalo, creates a logjam in net. Behind the starter JSGiguere are 3 NHL quality goaltenders; Jani Hurme, signed as a free agent in the offseason, Sanford and Miller.
This will undoubtedly create trade rumors that one of the three are headed out, but Sabres Management did not respond to questioning.
The Sabres have announced that Ryan Miller will make his OTHL debut on Wednesday night, at home against the Colorado Avalanch. "The future is now" here in Buffalo.
