Realistically projecting Nyquist... I could see him being a 25g, second line winger with some consistency.

I could live for a straight up Myers/Nyquist swap.

Why would Buffalo want to trade Myers?? His age is perfect for being a core peice on the back end..

Joe Doesn't want to go anywhere.. He plays the next 3 years as a shark & prob retires.

Its not happening ,Detroit would love to add him but they dont have the pieces ,or ones that they can realistically move to get him

His shooting % should drop from 18%, to closer to the league avg. around 10%.

I think there's a bit of a sentiment that Myers has underachieved (so far in realizing his potential), because he may be a bit lazy.

He was widely criticized for reporting to camp grossly out of shape 2 years ago.

The club is trying hard to work with him, but if the fire & drive aren't coming from within... Lucy got some splanein to do.

Perhaps some of his early press clippings went to his head?

Nyquist's shooting % was inflamed last yr, & is bound to come back down to earth.

Now is the time to trade him. His value may never get any higher.
- SuperCat

Even when his shooting % comes down he's going to play in around 20-25 more games than last year so 30-35 goals is still likely. You don't trade a 24 year old with that kind of ability (and the potential for more) for almost anyone.

Thornton was rumored to be go to

...the Leafs

... to the Wings

...to the Hawks

...to the Ducks

...to the Rangers

...to the Stars

...to the Senators

...to the Canes

...to the Predators

...to the Jets

Whispers of the Blues prior to Stastny.

All the teams should be covered soon.

Throw in Milbury's old jersey and its a deal.

Ur kidding???!!??

I bought an Erhoff Jersey the same day my wife chose the (not yellow) old 3rd Myers Jersey before last season.

I hope the return is worthwhile...

The entire Sabres organizations doesn't have enough assets to get Mantha
from Wings.

We have enough assets to get Mantha 50 times!!!

SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Detroit thinks he is gr8, with lots of potential!!
That is all needed, so don't ruin it!

Letang is not on the block. He was asked to update his list of teams he would accept a trade to. Just like Martin and Scuds. Call it clerical work.

That said, if you knock JR's Aunt Connie's socks off anyone's tradable except Sid and Geno...perhaps Maatta.

Don't you wish this site had an ignore feature ?

Might as well add the rest of the teams n that list
If he does get moved
Does that mean the rumour came true

You have to dole them out one at a time. He's saving "Thornton to Philly" rumors until next week. The "Thornton to the Blue Jackets" rumors are for the week after that. It's all on schedule.

Thornton to the Jets is probably the craziest poop I've read on this site... ever.

It'd be awesome... but can't see it happening. Because:

a) Thornton has a NTC. SoCal > the 'Peg. I love my town, but let's be realistic.

b) What would the Jets offer in return, particularly when Chevy is one of the most conservative GMs in the league?

You could start with Kane, but doubt Chevy wants him playing in the West.

SJ needs D. Bogo? Buff? Enstrom? Clitsome??? Postma/Stuart??????

SJ probably wants a C back. Schief? Little? O'Dell??? The rights to Burmistrov?????

A ridiculous rumour deserves an equally ridiculous trade offer:

Wpg: Thornton and Niemi

SJ: O'Dell, Postma, Stuart and Pavlec... and we'll throw in the rights to Burmistrov.

I know.

Its stupid.

So is the rumor.

Great avatar.

2 rules, man......Stay away from my f#ckin percocets and do you have any f#ckin percocets

Ok I hear that Sabres want a Kings random for Myers.

Well Lets see if I can come up with a Kings random. Now I doubt it will be this high but we can always start with 3 Kings random to get to the single Kings random

O and we all know that some GMs made very very very bad trades.

Blackhawks trade
Patrick Sharp
Brent Seabrook
Nick Leddy
Plus a 1st in 2015

For Myers. Yep Smoking crack on this one but HEY got to dream big right

Red Wings trade
Tomas Tatar
Gustav Nyquist
Anthony Mantha
Brendan Smith

For Myers. Yep On crack again for this one. But hey got to start somewhere.
