yes he would, plus hes not really what i think they need

Hell go to the Sharks in a deal for Pavelski and prospects\

I think Buffalo ends up with Dubinsky or some name weve never thought of

- CaptPantalones

Dubinsky seems a little more logical then Parise, Staal and Ryan.

Nash been playing with scrubs for pretty much his whole career... Do you guys remember how amazing he was when he actually played with some skilled players in the Olympics? Yea he was amazing!

He was been wasted in columbus and he will be a top 10 player for sure if he gets traded. Maybe even top 5.

It will most likely be from a team in the Western Conference if it is for a signicant forward, hopefull center.
- GilPerreault


probably, but since I dont see the Rangers getting Nash, maybe Darth Regier buys Dubinsky low.

But id say its a good bet they trade with the West

RE: Miller, Vanek and Sekera.

Miller may be an issue. Look at his pouting last season. I also believe he gives total non-support to Enroth.

Sekera not an issue in the room. Played better than Myers this season. Yes, better (Sekera played against the best opposition, Myers did not). The problem is winning the World Championship is more important to Sekera than winning the Stanely Cup.


- Jacob582


Um, no. Sekera might have played better than Myers in October, but who didn't? Sekera is the classic good game/bad game maddeningly inconsistent Sabre I am done watching.

Nash shouldn't need players to make him look good. Crosby doesn't, Malkin doesn'.t....elite players don't. That's a garbage excuse bro.

I just want Roy gone..
- KINGTUFF17



You cant just let a 60-70 point center go for nothing. Especiially one that is going into a contract year. other than last year he has had a pretty good career. Roy is worth keeping on the team if there are no other options out there.

Sekera is a solid D. I'll give you somewhat inconsistent (but who wasn't this year, other than Pominville?)

RE: Miller, Vanek and Sekera.

Miller may be an issue. Look at his pouting last season. I also believe he gives total non-support to Enroth.

Vanek is not an issue in the room. But he dissapeared at the end of the last two seasons. Sekera not an issue in the room. Played better than Myers this season. Yes, better (Sekera played against the best opposition, Myers did not). The problem is winning the World Championship is more important to Sekera than winning the Stanely Cup.

So with that said Vanek and Sekera should go because the goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

- Jacob582


Vanek ended with injuries late in the last 2 seasons.

He's a warrior and takes a beating in front of the net like no other and it goes really unappreciated by fans like you. He's a pure goal scorer that the team needs.

Not really. His stats have been pretty good already and he already looks good. I'm saying he would look even better. Also the malkin/crosby comparison wasn't a good one. Malkin played with an amazing line and same with Stamkos.

What I'm saying is imagine Nash on a good team with good players. He would look even better

Everyone is talking about Getzlaf and Ryan.. Knowing Darcy and his hush-hush tendency... we could see Perry being traded to us tomorrow night.. haha

on Nash... just not TOO much going back but it has to include Vanek

Someone mentioned that Parise is coming more and more possible and I believe it too.. with their owner owning 77M in just a month or two there is no way they are gonna be able to give him a 50M contract for 7 years... I see his rights being traded tomorrow.

Getzlaf.. Yea I would love him.. but has anyone else noticed that the last 3 straight games we have played against the Ducks.. Getzlaf has gotten into a fight with our guys... Maybe he will get here and refuse to extend...

Whoever said Luongo to Buffalo should go play in traffic WORST CONTRACT EVER!!!

I appreciate the beating he takes. I appreciate the raw scoring talent he has. I have been a Vanek fan since he played for the Amerks.

I'm just saying, we need a premier talent like Vanek who is not going to be injured at the end of the season who can help win the Stanley Cup.

if they do keep him his value could be very high at trade deadline. But then again we probably wouldnt want to trade him at that point

I like Vanek.. but I just think he gets hurt or is always playing hurt.. I know that a lot of players do.. but He gets hurt at the worst possible times..

he got hurt against Boston in the playoffs... against Philly in the playoffs.. he missed about 10 games in the middle of this year when we needed him and Pommer the most.

- Smittyx36


How is not a fair comparison? What do Nash, Crosby and Stamkos all have in common? All of them #1 overall picks...aka franchise players. Crosby and Stamkos make players around them better something Nash has failed at his entire career. He can't carry a team. He shouldn't need other players to make him look better. Stats are really misleading, for a #1 overall pick Nash has some pretty meh stats. 2, 40 goal seasons..Vanek has done that

Malkin has proven he can carry a team without Crosby and Stamkos doesn't play with a great line, he makes his line great.

RE: Luongo
Pegula likes crazy contracts. When did you ever see conracts like Leino, Ehrhoff, Myers, Sekera before Pegula. Luongo's cap hit is almost a million less than Miller. How is that bad? Long term $$$ is not a problem for Pegula.

If I had to rank where and how much I'd want players who have been linked to Buffalo are....

Nash>Parise>Getzlaf>Ryan>Staal>Stastny>Thornton>Marleau

bring on the hate...

I think Nash has the best 2 way game out of everyone.. I think that Parise is the best offensive talent in the group but he will have an almost the same contract as Nash.

Getzlaf is a great, young, BIG center who will demand atleast 6.5M+ on his next contract. Known as a good passer but has had a down spiral of goals recently.

Ryan is a proven 30+ goal scorer who is signed long term and for cheap. Some say he is a benefactor of the players around him.. I think he does have to have a fully capable center who we do not have currently.

Staal.. I think he will demand too much in a trade and that Staal had a chance to prove who he was when both Crosby and Malkin were injured and he wasn't exactly killing it as a 1C.

Stasnty is a big young center who has a good two way game.. is known to be a fantastic passer... is contract is what holds him down big time..

Thornton.. I like the guy he has the stats.. he has the leadership. he has the size.. but he is 32 years old and has a HUGE 7M contract.

Marleau... see everything said about Thornton but a year older and a Winger and not a Center which we need more than a winger.

Vanek has great stats.. he was a 40 goal scorer.. but I think his edge in Buffalo is gone.. I think that he needs a change of scenary in order to get back to his game.. I think he benefits from facing other teams NOT TOP pairing.. I think his body cannot take hte beatings he used to be able to take.
