Stanley Cup Classics / NHL Greatest Rivalries, Vol. 5

The Vancouver Canucks have signed unrestricted free-agent goaltender Ryan Miller to a three-year contract worth an average annual value of $6 million.

Miller was traded to the St. Louis Blues at the 2014 trade deadline after spending the first 11 years of his career with the Buffalo Sabres. The 33-year-old had a record of 25-30-4 with a 2.64 goals against average and a .918 save percentage over 59 combined games with the Sabres and Blues in 2013-2014.

After a disappointing first round exit against the Chicago Blackhawks in the playoffs, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong announced that Brian Elliott and Jake Allen would be the Blues' goaltending tandem next season, leaving Miller as the odd man out.

The American is coming off the final year of a five-year contract that had an average annual value of $6.250 million. He won the 2010 Vezina Trophy and took home a silver medal at the Vancouver Olympics.

In 559 career games, Miller has a 294-194-57 record with a 2.59 GAA and .915 save percentage with 29 shutouts. He was originally selected by Buffalo in the fifth round (138th overall) of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
