Miller not sure if he'll test free agency
/Ryan Miller will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Via In The Slot, he says he's open to staying with the St. Louis Blues.
On the city of St. Louis:
"Good people, very passionate and as pissed off as they probably are at me right now, it's good. It shows they're sports fans and they're committed to their team. They have passion, they have pride, it's the kind of people you want to play for. If it works out that management wants me back ... if it works out I'm back here, that's the kind of people you want to play for."
On if he'd like to get a contract done with the Blues soon, or go to free agency:
"I'm not sure. I have to have more discussion with management on where they're at with everything. It's not something we're going to do two or three days after we lost. It's something where you kind of want to get away from the situation by a few weeks probably. I'm sure they'll want to have something, an answer on their side, before the draft. It's more directed towards Doug and the coaching staff and how they kind of see this team being built. That being said, I liked my time here, (I'm) open to staying. I think it's a solid organization from the top down. We'll just see what happens."
On whether contract term is more important, or the team itself:
"Just team, honestly. It's something where I want to do my part to contribute to a team that's going to build and have a chance to win. These are frustrating times when you bow out of the playoffs, so it's just not the time to talk about it. We'll get around to it."
