the trade conditions are pretty convoluted......
you can read them and many others here

but here's the meat (with some of the fat trimmed off)
Buffalo traded Ryan Miller, Steve Ott, conditional draft picks to Blues for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart, William Carrier, 2015 first round pick (?-?), conditional draft pick(s)
Buffalo gets our 2014 first round pick(will be #24 overall) and our 2016 third round pick and
Blues get Minnesota's 2014 second round pick (49th overall) and Buffalo's 2014 third round pick(61st overall)
if any of the following conditions are met:
Blues re-sign or trade Ryan Miller prior to making their 2014 first round pick,
If none of those conditions are met then Buffalo gets our 2016 second round pick if any of the following conditions are met:
1) Blues re-sign Ryan Miller to a contract extension after making their 2014 first round pick,
2) Blues trade Ryan Miller after making their 2014 first round pick and prior to 2014-07-01,
3) Blues re-sign Ryan Miller to a new NHL contract for 2014-15.
If none of those conditions are met, then
Buffalo gets our 2016 third round pick) (?-?) on 2014-02-28
