The Ducks and Sabres did talk about Ryan Miller, but it never got close to the Sabres approaching Miller about it.

The kid is 22 & is going to be a stud for a long time.
This isn't like the Leafs paying Jeff Finger here.
I read the story on my phone and can't find the link now, but I read a story from Pittsburgh's newspaper that said Jordan Staal has been told by the Pens GM Ray Shero that he will not be re-signed and will be a UFA after next season.
He's going to get an obscene amount of money.

He's the Sens cornerstone on D. Not surprising they would sign him long term already.
Wow. From Bob McKenzie on Twitter:
Hearing Jordan Staal turned down 10-yr mega offer from PIT. Has indicated to PIT he doesn't plan on resign now
@_DaveMelton
Just going to post the same thing
He added this later.If Staal won't re-up in PIT, where he loves it, not expected to extend with anyone else who may trade for him. Except perhaps Carolina. #bro
If true, then it would be more than just money for Staal.
Could be that he doesn't want to be the 3C if Crosby/Malkin are both healthy and the Pens continue to play them up the middle. That might be the biggest reason and really the only one I can figure out...unless he wants to be closer to home or something.
His one good season is better than anything what Bolland did, who's career high is 47 points & is making 3.5 mil
Karlsson had almost double the amount of goals than Bolland had total points.

Who Will Win Chicago's 42nd?
Best Chance in 2013: Hidden Content Hidden Content
This past season, not only did Erik Karlsson earn the Norris with his 19 goals and 79 points, but also he singlehandedly saved the Fukushima plant, assassinated Osama Bin Laden, and changed the regime in Tunisia.
That's a pretty good year.![]()
O beware...of Jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
Here's where I'm confused. Not knocking Karlsson at all, because the kid had an incredible year. But why does a guy who puts up a ton of points as a defenseman instantly become the leading Norris candidate?
It's a similar argument for the Selke, that a guy has to put up big offensive numbers to win the trophy for being a defensive forward.
And these debates go back for years, too.

Hope none of you fell for this fantastic prank tweet on Twitter today:
Looks like the wait is over. Luongo is going to Winnipeg for Dustin Byfuglien, the Jets 1st and 3rd pick.
