Updated: Miller, Ott, Halak, Stewart in multi-player deal
/ Chris NicholsBefore every start, Ryan Miller comes to Sabres' bench to lean on his stick and think about the game. He has not shown up. Not playing?

If you're at SJ/BUF tonight, check the warmups -- I can't watch them on-line. Some rumblings BUF may have a couple guys out.

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

Enroth only goalie on the ice for warmups. #Sabres

No Ott, Miller or Scott in warmups. #Sabres

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

John Scott has joined the team for warmups. #Sabres

Not saying this is it, but one scenario that has definitely been discussed: 3-way trade involving BUF, STL and OTT. A # of variations.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 28, 2025
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.

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

Steve Ott was kicking soccer ball with teammates in Sabres' arena when coach Ted Nolan called him to back room to tell him he was scratched.

As per Blues beat writer @jprutherford , Blues closing in on Ryan Miller. Always made the most sense to me as destination....

Jaroslav Halak traded to Sabres for Ryan Miller #blues
— Renaud Lavoie (@LavoieRenaud) February 28, 2025
I know Blues and Sabres have talked about Miller both pre-Oly and post-oly. @TSNBobMcKenzie also suggest possibility of 3-way... intrigue!
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) February 28, 2025
Source close to Ryan Miller calls St Louis as his trade destination. Still waiting for confirmation and details.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) February 28, 2025
Don't know the specifics yet but Miller is going to STL and Halak is going to BUF.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 28, 2025
It's expected that Halak will be sent to Buffalo in the trade. #stlblues
