Losing Miller No Big Loss For Bolts

from Damian Cristodero of Lightning Strikes,

Let’s start by saying this: the loss of wing Drew Miller to the Detroit Red Wings through waivers is not going to change anything about how the Tampa Bay Lightning does this season. Miller, good defensively, was pretty much invisible offensively with zero points in 14 games. Certainly, Paul Szczechura, called up from AHL Norfolk, can do just as much, and I bet will do more.

But we should also note that all that is left of the trade of Evgeny Artyukhin to the Ducks in exchange for Miller is now a 2010 third-round draft pick. We will wait and see how that pays off.

Tampa Says Trade Coming

via Tampa Bay Lightning Twitter,

The Lightning are making a trade today. They’ll be getting a player and a draft pick in return.

added 3:31pm, from Damian Cristodero of Lightning Strikes,

The Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday picked up left wing Drew Miller and a third-round pick in next year’s draft in exchange for wing Evgeny Artyukhin.

added 4:57pm, Damain was just on The Bill Watters Show on 640am in Toronto and said the move clears up a little cap room for the Bolts.  Tanguay still in the mix, although Damian has heard he has at least one offer for more money than what Tampa wants to pay.

Bolts may be offering a 1yr deal to Alex and it Damian feels it may be a good deal for him.

A Worthy Cause For Drew Miller

from the LA Times,

All 30 teams are recognizing one home game in October as Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night and the Ducks are doing their part tonight to raise money to benefit the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.

But 23-year-old (Drew) Miller already has a long history with his work in that area. During his sophomore and junior seasons at Michigan State, the winger started a program called Spartan Buddies, in which many of the school’s student-athletes made visits to children in the hospital.

The program has continued after Miller left school to turn pro.
