...this trade makes zero sense....we have no center depth and have needed center help all year. Hecht is a winger playing center, Gerbe is a winger, Ennis is a winger, Boyes is a winger who is playing center and Adam is a center Lindy insists on playing on the wing. Roy and Adam are the only centers in all ofnthe players you mentioned....just sayin

Let's throw it out there for change. Plekanec and Subban for Roy and Myers?

How do you consider one year underacheiving??

Its a slump, it happens for many defencemen. Would you have traded Doughty, Schenn, Myers, Subban, and Fowler?

Give it time, the whole team is struggling at the moment (BUF and MTL). No point giving up a guy when his value is lower. That's my opinion at least.

However, if you don't want him, I know someone who does

Fair enough. Actually, I think most Buffalo fans would say it's into it's second season for Myers.

They will not trade Myers.... If Buffalo refused to trade Myers to the Ducks for Getzlaf why the hell would they trade him to Montreal for Plekanec and the Overrated PK Subban...

Kings apparently have interest in Moen and Gill.

Second half of last season he wasn't great, and first ha;f of this season.. He could turn it around, who knows...

What I do know is if MTL is shopping Subban, or BUF is shopping Myers, there will be 29 other teams in on both.

Great move. Gets him away from all the distractions associated with the Buffalo night life. PK and Carey will help him settle down.

ahhh there is a hell of a lot more night life in Toronto

Ill tell you who they want, Richards.

They are looking to get rid of subban while he still has value as a rookie.

We have tinordi, bealeui, emelin, gorges and will buy any UFA you can think of.

Name someone on the kings DEFENSE who can or is as good as subbans OFFENSIVE and ( not as much ) defensive abilities.

Subban can handle the puck, rush the puck, skate fast and hard, hit, make a play, deke, do his back hand rush that no one seems to know how to stop, has a VERY LOUD attitude and can very well be a good captain on a team.

Id trade him for. richards and a first. also throw in plekanec.

The overrated Myers for the overrated Subban. Makes sense to me.

Roy is obviously your #1 guy. Besides he and Gaustad you don't have a fellow over 50% on the faceoffs. That's a glaring problem I would think.

You need Gomez!

I love reading all the midget comments from people who apparently have no idea who's on the roster, otherwise they would know that Gionta and Desharnais are the only players under 5'11". These people probably still think Koivu's the captain here too.

..I'd be happy to work a Roy for Plekanec deal is some way. Maybe the Sabres give a pick or prospect. I would not deal Myers, not for an immature Subban.....not interested. If I deal Myers I want something better.

Why does Myers command something better at this time in his career?

Plek had a growth spurt? The team has gotten bigger since last year, but it's still on the small side. Especially how they play. Especially the D.

What a joke, What do we need him for.

Gomez is ten times better... who cares he makes 7 mill he is worth every penny when you give him a team to play with.
We NEED to make a run for RYAN KESLER

OR mikko koivu.

And the only thing worth going the other way for those teams is thomas plekanec

That's a good one.
