Oh I did. Half the proposals youre shaking your finger at Murray would be a facking moron not to take. I get the whole, "we dont need to trade him" routine that youre putting out there but gimme a break. Myers has shown some good spots and has potential. Id honestly like to have him but give me a break. Some of your posts were completely contradictory to prior ones you made. Calling next yrs draft the "best in ten years" and then saying you dont want any picks due to you having enough. You guys are rebuilding and I think a lot of you are being a bit delusional by saying your rebuild will be over next year. Actually, I dont think. I know.

Gee your lack of knowledge of the Sabre's prospect pool is lacking . They have the #1 rated prospect pool already . They are loaded . Next years draft will leave it overflowing . Now we just wait for the pool to develop . So the rebuild as far as acquiring talent will be over . Now it just has to be developed . Realistically they will contend for a cup in 4 to 5 years . Will contend for a playoff spot in 2 to 3 years

It’s nice that you think that but when you win 25% of your games it probably isn’t true that you’ve had the best player on the ice very often.

It was true , he was surrounded by AHL player towards the end . Again can't make your conclusion unless you actually watched the games

Yeah and we already have 3 1st and 3 2nds how much more do we need? It's not like we are gonna go from worst to 1st in 1 year. But we will have an elite #1 in either McDavid or eichle. Then we just need to fill 5 spots from moulson, hodgson, ennis, reinhart, stafford, Girgenson, grigorenko and armia. Think we can find 5 top end fowards there.
The whole point is buffalo is trying to build a team that will be a serious cup contender and not a team that hopes to squeak into the playoffs. Ur just made bcz I think the islanders are a team without any direction.

Myers is a terrible defenseman and has the worst contract in the league

Tavares walks the path of the kovalchuks, Nash's and gaboriks of the world!

I think that just proves all your 1st round picks and prospects doesnt mean jacksh1t in terms of how successful your rebuild is currently going

Geez , now that is funny ! Please play again when you have watched him play . 5.5 for a top two defense man is a bad deal ? Have you seen what top 2 defense men are getting ?

Out of curiousity, how is the Islanders draft position relevant to the discussion. Or is it just a general flame attempt?

Not a joke , Someone needs to remind islander posters how futile things are on the island . Come back when you have a new GM and owner so we can take you seriously

I see mcdonagh making 4.7M, girardi making 5.5M, staal making less than 4M, hedman making 4M...myers got paid 12M a couple years ago and his salary is still absurd for the foreseeable future with that front loaded contract.

Oh please lord let the Buffalo Sabres accept the Islanders as a serious sports franchise. Enlighten us with your ever-reaching wisdom and teach us the ways of the vast success of the behemoth that is Buffalo-area professional sports.

So our owner gave the kid up front money . The deal is 5,5 per season . When your defense get their new deals come back and tell me how bad Myers deal is.

Your franchise is the laughing stock of professional sports . At least ours is being rebuilt properly . What a waste having a talent like Tavares . How long till he starts screaming to get out of there ?
