Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
Confirming reports that Ryan Miller is a late scratch tonight. It's believed that a deal is imminent and STL is the likely destination.

David Pollak @PollakOnSharks
Here in BUF where trade rumors have substane. G Ryan Miller was to start vs. #SJSharks, but reports now that he's scratched, deal imminent.


Steve Ott was also healthy scratched.

update:
per Ren Lavoie

The Sabres get St. Louis 1st-round pick in 2014 if Blues make Western Conference finals or Ryan Miller re-signs. 1st round in 2015 automatic

Amid reports Ryan Miller/Steve Ott scratched tonite, much speculation BUF is close to trading one or both. STL? Or just asset protection?

Not saying this is it, but one scenario that has definitely been discussed: 3-way trade involving BUF, STL and OTT. A # of variations.

[sureLoss]

the 3 way trade has been brought by TSN for a few days now

[OutOfTheCube]

Hoping it's a good return! Rattie + 1st? At least?

STL would get Miller, OTT would get Chris Stewart, BUF would get prospects from OTT. If Ott (the player) included to STL, 1st rder to BUF.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
That scenario I laid out is speculative but has been discussed this week by the teams.

[Alberta_Beef]

well can't beat sureloss twice

[alan21]

Goalies have been dealt for very underwhelming returns.
Although they weren't the caliber of Miller but I still don't think it will be anything substantial given that the Blues are the only real suitors anyways.

[Ashasx]

My guess is Rattie + 1st.

Edit: Well apparently so do others.

Ott makes that trade with OTT a bit confusing on Twitter...

[sureLoss]

So Breaking down McKenzie's tweet:

1. Blues get Miller (and maybe Steve Ott)
2. Senators get Chris Stewart
3. Sabres get prospects from Senators (and a 1st round pick from the Blues if Blues get Steve Ott)

“@pham1717: I'm hearing both Miller and Ott going to the same place, likely St.Louis.” #stlblues

I'm hearing both Miller and Ott going to the same place, likely St.Louis.

John Vogl ‏@BuffNewsVogl 15s
Source says expect the Sabres to make official trade announcement tonight, likely soon.

[flamesfan1297]

that 3 way deal sounds like it may actually work, Ottawa could use Stewart and Buffallo get young prospects, STL get a goalie. Everyone wins

Being told the Sabres are finalizing a trade right now that will include Miller.
