They aren't bad I just don't think they have the smarts that a guy like Eberle has. And with yak the kid just needs to be ready to unload his shot.
- Lahey

They are a solid 2/2B line that can produce but also be responsible. That's why i like them. Imagine a center like Vermette or Brodziak with them.

I don't really see how Yandle makes our defense better defensively. I'd take him, but I wouldn't expect drastic improvements. Myers and Buff are intersting, but at the same time are those teams ready to make a move like that?
- Lahey

Myers could be had I'd wager.
But as this convo has went, the price is too much at present.

Yandle can move the puck, qb the pp, and even tho he has some defensive flaws, he closes gaps wel and likes to engage physically.
He'd be a huge help.

Buff has his defensive warts too. Not sure if he's available.

I'd love any 1 of those. probably myers the most tho

in that case.

If Bertuzzi is proven, over the hill and a solid player, that is perfect for Detroit.

Mantha is young and unproven. You should be selling him. We can sign Bonk and include Ference for Oulliet and Mantha. We can even include other proven veterans for you.

He was with the Red Wings on and off since 2007.

Ok, you drive a hard bargain. We will sign Daigle, Yashin, Bonk and Alfy and include them with Ference and Andy Sutton and send them for Mantha and Ouillet.

So does LA move guys this year or dump guys in the summer? Martinez, Toffoli, Pearson all set to get big raises. Williams, Stoll and Regher UFA's, but I assume they don't really want to lose those guys either.

Could be some interesting names moving there

They probably aren't worried about loosing Regher. I still think we can get Richards at a decent price.

if he can stay healthy, but he would cost too much for someone who is hurt for at least 20 games season

See this is why I don't want to look at the draft. Do we need another D prospect, another C? another winger? Who knows..

Yes we do. Hey, you are an oilers fan now. update the team name and use proper grammar when addressing our team.

Myers is a very good dman. He is still very young and will only get better. It takes alot longer for dman to become great players especially 6'8 players ( Chara perfect example). Sabres a very young team and could easily keep myers. But the sabres also have alot of high quality dman coming up so if the right deals comes they will trade him.

Edm is still young but most of their players a year two from their primes so if they were to get myers they would reach their primes together.

To get Myers they would need a trade like

Myers, Stewart and second for Yak, Kelfdom, and 1st.

It works for both teams Stewart helps bring size and consistency to wing and myers brings size and top dman they desperately need. The picks just even things out.

Sabres get young winger that is big risk but high ceiling and another young dmen.

I think he makes our defensive at worst completely the same defensively. He makes us much better offensively, and it strikes me that he's a pretty good energy guy.
