I would take Kesler over Benn

Kesler's awesome...except he's been a hurtbag for the last two seasons. Can't help anyone when you're out of the lineup.

No but he can fight!

Hmmmmmmm, it looks like he'd be a nice fit for the Flyers...I think Briere should be enough to get it done...

I spoke to him this summer, he'd love to play for the Nucks one day when the time is right.

He's missed 5 games in the past 4 seasons. Dude plays hurt and is still effective. Be nice to see a player like that on Wild.

Well seeing that the Sabres and Stars just had recent dealings with one another where both parties came away pleased with the deal made on their end.

I would not exclude the Sabres from this conversation. Sabres have some bodies they can move and lord knows a surplus of young talented dmen.

Dallas needs more scoring, not D. Doesn't matter, no way in hell they trade him.

Historically the Sabers only make one trade per year...

The SabRES are in a bit of a pickle with all their dmen.

With Brennan up from Rochester now (and not going to make it through waivers) and me speaking with Jordan Leopold after yesterdays practice at the Northtown Center here in Amherst I would bet that Darcy has another deal in the works. There just isnt any way he doesnt to be fair.

Jordan told me this after yesterdays practice. I said to Jordan "looks like there is only dmen coming out of the locker room so far " when Jordan looked at me and said "yea well, there certainly is enough dmen here, that's for sure" .

With Brennan , that makes 10 NHL ready dmen. I dont know what's going to happen with Pardy but I really liked what I seen from him yesterday for sure. Mcnabb isnt coming up but he still is included in that 10. Yeesh that 10 list doesnt include Pysyk / Leduc /McCabe even .

Darcy needs to move 1 or 2 dmen before the season starts. I'd look for the Sabres to be doing something via the trade before Wednesday.
The Sabres have an embarrassing wealth of young dmen in the stable. A position of strength for sure.

If you want Benn, it will cost you Myers. End of story.
