Vancouver offered the 24th pick + a roster player at the draft and our GM said no way.

I'm pretty sure we aren't trying to move him

- sbroads24


Van traded Garrison 4.6 mil cap hit to clear salary, why would we take on Myers at 5.5?

Your not getting Eberle, nuge, hall, yaks, drai, nurse. You could get Klef and a 1st maybe
- Oilfan19

I wouldn't even do that. I think klef will be a gooder in a year or two.

Yo don't think RNH/Draisaitl/3 consecutive 1st round picks and at least one more piece wouldn't be tempting for Crosby?
- ChetManly

It might be. But RNH/Malkin is no where near the skill set to replace Crosby/Malkin for that one two punch. McDavid is probably not going to come to the Oilers this year, and I haven't read of any super talents even close to Crosby foreshadowed for 2016, 2017. Crosby is a Pen until further notice. In today's game, you keep that one two punch and if you need to get rid of one of them, get rid of Malkin. Easier to replace.

Ok so for you guys to get Draisaitl it would take Ristolenin, Gregorenko, pysyk and your 1st rounders the next 2 years and myers is a throw in. Cause you gotta give up to get.
- Oilfan19


No you're talking retarded.

Now if you really want to get down to what might be a possible good trade. You still are going to give up a Blue Chip Prospect.

Klefbom and Moroz - Both look to be Real good NHL Prospects. Moroz is a bit of an unknown how he will transition between WHL then the AHL then NHL however looks to be a strong power forward type. Klefbom should be a top 4 defensemen in the NHL my only thing about him is the injury he had.

And to be fair...Mact said the exact same about our young guys. He said he gets calls on our forwards but will not trade any of them unless its an overpay. So Eberle and klef and a first for myers is quite hilarious.
- ghostofRC

Agreed. But I think that is what it would take for Buffalo to be like "Yoink, so long suckers." Other wise, its a big "Hell no!" Y'know?

- VanHockeyGuy

Vancouver wanted Myers. It was reported at the draft that the Sabres were offered the 24th and another piece. Murray apparently didn't bite.

I don't know man.

I would be happy to pay the price for Myers if we obtained a better left hand defender for him to partner with.

Would a Coburn-Myers duo look good?

- Oilfan19

Ok. Think of it this way. Your top six wingers are all solid players. Hall, Eberle, Yak, Perron. All skill based forwards who can score and aren't exactly pure grit. You can take out one of those four (outside of Hall) and he can be replaced. Finding a top 2 d-man isn't as easy, and I'd say getting Myers to solidify that defense is going to work a lot better in the long run than keeping Eberle.

Ok Buffalo guys, we get it, we won't get Myers for a 2nd. I don't think ANYONE has even brought up Myers name in these threads in months. We don't want him and if the asking price is what you say it is then he will be a Sabre for a long long time. Kindly leave now so we can talk about our team/boobs. Thank you

we need to send draisatle down right now and bring up lander cause lander can play ozone dzone rzone and start anyzone but we need to shelter our young players like that poopty yakupov and maybe nuge cause hes young too can we send him down to whl maybe idk and then play lander on the top line and give them 35 minutes a night and dont let yakupov see the ice just let him sit on the bench
- Oilfan19
Sending draisaitl down means we can bring up a defensively responsible center from the farm or forces us to bring one in via trade like brodziak which would mean more offensive zone starts for the leagues best left wing taylor hall and more wins for the edmonton oilers

Cus he's Russian? At least he isn't a whiner. He leads his team more than Crosby does

Because of the Benning/Myers connection, I get it. At the end of the day the price right now for Myers right now is too high, that's why he's not going anywhere. If he does the team has to deal with absorbing that 5.5 mil cap hit. Those two factors make if difficult for any team.
