No need for anger we both have the same goal. Please win tonight.

You're one of the more level headed guys here i feel bad when I get others involved with this but when someone insults and they're completely wrong I'm not the type to turn the other cheek. Sorry, carry on I'm out!

Fowler produces points at a higher rate.

*waits for better team argument*

- Feds91Stammer


Myers is a stud offensive D who can't score, even on the Power Play.
Maybe on the better team, it'll be different.
Potential!

that's kinda my point with the latter part...

i'm with ya on the scoring, 89...no question about it...but, if myers is moved, the defensive depth takes a pretty big hit...there's a gap between what's in Rochester now and players like Brycen martin and Anthony florentino who are a couple years away from the amerks

- Michael Pachla

IMO we need to make deals at the deadline for players that help next year, not 2-3 years down the road.

Isn't Morrow one of Boston's top prospects? Not sure they'd give him up for a rental. Spooner is more likely

I think if Myers is moved it's a draft day/off-season trade. I think Murray's targeting a specific type of player(s) in return, not convinced he'll get it though.

Context eh? In what context is Mantha having the potential to be Rick Nash not moronic?

Ducks have a better team and better D corp as of now, I would hope so.


So Mantha is worth Fowler? gee like I don't know your answer

So you are saying there is no chance he is a consistent 30-40 goals producer in the NHL?
Now, That's moronic.

But yet your GM keeps calling about the guy you say is not worth Cam Fowler but he doesn't call about the Cam Fowler you say is so great.

Well you're very good at taking one tiny part of a back and forth and creating a meaning aren't you? You do realize that 90% of the population is intelligent enough to see through your BS right? Maybe you haven't figured that out yet. Yeah I said i live in the here and now and then your colleague bought up the past saying that we've only had winning seasons 10 times. Hence why that time period was bought up. By a Sabre fan but by all means take one microcosm of the conversation and create whatever meaning suits you. It definitely makes you look more intelligent.

James Neal scores 30 consistently. Is he one of the better power forwards in the NHL like Rick Nash??

So Mantha=Neal=Nash? All the same cause they can score 30?

Like I said you're right Mantha sucks. Detroit would be lucky to get a 3rd for him.

I agree. The sabres should flip the switch this summer from stockpiling picks and prospects to acquiring established NHL ready talent.

Keep the prospects we like, get the talent we need (wing) and start winning some poop.

Cam Fowler is a lefty. Myers is a righty. Ducks are good and not looking to move players out. Sabres are a dumpster fire and could move players out for rebuild.

- Feds91Stammer

No he doesn't suck. Just when Myers was 19, he was scoring in the NHL, not struggling in the AHL. Just you know, providing some context as to why we don't think Mantha is anywhere near an over payment

You idiots (yourself, Vukota, a few Oilers morons) always come on these boards and act like you're God's gift because your teams won a few cups, no doubt when all of you were like, what, 5 years old?

Do you even remember it? Were you even born?

So yes, I said "go away". Just like the USA doesn't negotiate with terrorists, I don't debate with trolls.

- grand-magus

You're the one who bought up the past(Ten winning seasons in forty years)not me. I said I'll live in the here and now and you said that bringing up the past. I just don't think you like being wrong because you are. Our past has four cups and our present is one point out of the division lead. I didn't bring it up you did. You just don't like being wrong and looking stupid which was the end result. Yeah i was born I was there but I fail to see what this has to do with anything? Another tactic to back peddle to further try and save face just like when you call me a troll when you insult me?

Rick Nash is a rare talent, but dismissing the ability of the 18 years old prospect with great size, skill and hands is not smart. Even more so when you are trying to pry him in the trade from the other organization

It was 10 winning seasons in the past 30 years.

The Sabres and Islanders know a thing about bad seasons in recent history.

Neither side should be throwing mud.

Rick Nash is a rare talent. Anthony Mantha is not. There is your difference. He scored a goal per game in juniors. Great so did Luke Adam.
