Yes, that's what I said. He's better than myers, and he's just 20.

Gotcha...
- ghostofRC

funny thing is it is really hard to argue that your are good or that your players are worth more than other players when you look at your record the past few years. you honestly try to be credible but no matter what you say, your record says you are not.

Yea the guy with 80 NHL games under his belt on a really good team is definitively better than a former rookie of the year playing on a pathetic team.

You should compare their first 80 games in the NHL

You mean the lacklustre career that's similar to galchenyuks?

Yak - 119 games, 58 points
Galchenyuk - 121 games, 65 points

Galchenyuk plays on a better team in the weaker conference

Also yakupov has improved his two way game drastically so there's thAt as well.

Edit: galchenyuks TOI: 16:22

Yakupovs: 13:05

If you've watched yak play, he's deserved more too. Lots of articles on it.
- ystoil

Actually, Galchenyuk has been playing poopty minutes until this year. No PP time and no faith from his coach. hH has made his way and this year looks like a break out year. We shall see! If I were the Oilers, I would move Yak before Ebs.

LOL Eberle for Tinordi + or Emelin +

c'mon, that's just silly

you are right. How does that make MTL a better team? and be serious in your response to you don't sound like and idiot.

It certainly makes the Oilers worse.

He's their number 1 dman already. He will pit up 30 to 40 points and solid as a rock. If the sabres wanted him they'd have yo add to myers.

Not what the habs need no. But it's not enough for eberle either.

I like that within a couple of post's, this immediately degraded into Oilers fans saying the Buffalo player they want on their team sucks, and Buffalo fans saying the Oilers player they want on their team sucks, then quickly just into 'Oilers Suck.' 'Nope, Buffalo does.'

Holy sh*t kids, here's a magical scientific breakthrough, hot off the presses;

Both teams suck right now. The Oilers can't keep pucks out of their net, and the Sabres can't put any in!

None of you guys are GM's, none of you are going to guess the right trade, no you don't know the game better than people in the respective front offices, and all of you are a bunch of touchy terringtons.

I can already see the responses:

What a bunch of whiners.

I don't really see anything that Dallas would be willing to trade (IE: Not on their current roster) that Buffalo would want badly enough to trade Myers, since they have no need to trade him. Buffalo needs high end wingers. Don't really see any in Dallas' farm system unless I'm missing them? Neither Ritchie or Richardinson would keep Murray on the phone. Additionally, their 1st rounder won't be in the lottery, so the value on that for Buffalo is marginal considering they're already likely to have 2 1sts in the 15-25 range.

Seguin is pretty much the only thing that would be of interest, and that would never (ever) happen. Even Benn doesn't have enough years on his contract left really, he could walk before Buffalo is ready to compete whereas Seguin is at least signed thru 18/19.

So yeah, no deal to be made there.

Trade proposals are fun and all, but for once I would like to see a ( for example) fan of the Oilers look at a trade proposal from a Sabres perspective and vice versa. And a little more In depth than when a Penguins fan suggested like 'edmonton needs D , so let's offer Paul Martin for Jordan Eberle'.

He's their number 1 dman already. He will pit up 30 to 40 points and solid as a rock. If the sabres wanted him they'd have yo add to myers.
- prock

No he isn't, and no the Sabres wouldn't.

Anaheim doesn't have a "#1" defensemen. They have a few guys that are all on the same level in Vatanen, Fowler and Beauchemin. They all play around 21 minutes a night.

You are on crack if you think the Sabres would have to add. The Ducks have wanted Myers for 3 years and at one point were willing to trade Bobby Ryan for him.

No he isn't, and no the Sabres wouldn't.

They would.

And Lindholm plays 22 minutes.

But I can't see the ducks having any interest in him anyway. They've got a great young team, with so many great young d, they don't need him. Why would they chance screwing up what they've got going in to take a flyer on Myers?

No he isn't, and no the Sabres wouldn't.e

Myers wouldn't stand out from that group in Anaheim. .

Rumors of trades don't indicate value.

Again, They are not good trading partners. Oilers need to make a move, Mtl don't.

I really don't care about this argument like at all cause they've both had comparable minutes and comparable linemates (Galchenyuk having FAR better D and G behind him), but Galchenyuk got a whole 8 seconds less on the PP than Yak last season (2:02 compared to 2:10 per game) so please stop with that argument.

The Oilers don't need to do poop. Not yet anyway, especially if it means selling low. Let's give it to the 15 or 20 game mark and avoid any knee jerk decisions. Gotta see if the 7 or or 8 new players can work together and have some success with this group.

How about 'who cares'? Gally might be the better player today, tommorow and forever but at the end of the day it has little impact on the Oilers. We picked Yak, were running with him.

Emelin or tinordi as the main pieces coming back for eberle?

No

Montreal doesn't need eberle. Maybe Toronto or somebody in the Atlantic.

and we aren't better with either of those players than we are with eberle
We aren't begging anyone to take him...

And if those teams u mentioned offer the same type of package; the reply to their offer will be the same as it was to the laughable emelin or tinordi offer

Fowler is their #1 Dman. Anaheim's defense hasn't played badly enough to go after Myers. Even if they wanted him, the price is just too high. His contract isn't looking too good either right now. If the asking price comes down to maybe Theodore, Allen, and a pick or two then there could be a trade, but the Ducks don't really need him. He'd play on the 2nd or 3rd pair in Anaheim. If Palmieri or Heatley were close to coming back, they could add Beleskey if Buffalo were willing to give the Ducks another player in the trade.
