Finally it starts getting tough. Miller for me.

Actually ranked one above the other in the ranking I sent you. Seriously, what's with all of these matchups where I have a guy ranked one or two spots above the other.

I'm questioning the validity of this contest

Going with Ward here, because for the first time in a long time, I think Carolina can ice a pretty decent all around team. Their defence is also trending upwards in my opinion.

Very close call though.

I went will Miller only because of the "March/April" H2H playoffs and down the stretch Roto stats... He's a fantasy monster that time of year.

Ward probably is the better all around goalie own.

Miller, for Ma's reasons and also the team around him this year is [presumably] much more stout than years past. Much bigger/physical team all around and that defense is deep. Very deep.

Miller for me. I think Buffalo has a more complete team then Carolina and will put up more W's.

Ward also has a knack for stepping it up during March/April.

Took Miller, but it was a tough choice. Yes Carolina is improved, but so is Buffalo. Ward has only been sub-2.50 once in his career, and while Miller has only been under that number once as well, he's always right around it.

These are two pretty safe choices, but the decider for me is practically every year people start clamoring about how Carolina will breakout, and they never do. Is this just another year of that? If they don't breakout, how does that affect Ward? Does he stay closer to 30 wins, 2.65, and .915? If that's the case, then Miller's steady 30-35 wins, 2.55, and .915 is better......by a hair but it's better.
