Elliott re-signs...Miller not returning

[Jasmine]

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues paid a hefty price when they acquired goaltender Ryan Miller from the Buffalo Sabres in February.

But after an unsuccessful run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs that ended in a disappointing loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference First Round, the Blues are moving away from Miller and again turning to a familiar face.

The team announced Monday that it resigned goalie Brian Elliott to a three-year, $7.5 million extension and will team Elliott with incumbent Jake Allen for the 2014-15 season, meaning Miller will become an unrestricted free agent in July.

I'm expecting the Islanders to crash and burn on Halak, make a full spirited run at Miller only to be turned down by him too :(

I think they will regret this. Miller didn't work out, no. But he played, what? ~25 regular season + playoff games for them? He's a much, much better goalie than Brian Elliott. They won't win a Cup with Elliott in net.
