Fair, but he was also down 4 top 4 d men

I am curious what those high danger area shots looked like

- Stripes77

he wasn't getting shelled

28 shots a game roughly


flip side, he stood on his head a few years later vs the bruins

Ryan Miller was the Sabres 2nd best goalie of all time.

If you want a 40 year old goalie get Ryan Miller out of retirement or Marty Biron better than Anderson and dell! He’ll go with Dustin and houser they may win more games ! Bring back Kane. He can bet on the sabres to loss!!!

The return though was miserable.

Ek9 eventually got us a future 1st
Bogo nothing

Peg used Myers, staff, armia and the 1st on their roster.

None of those players are on Winnipeg anymore.

That’s all irrelevant

The Sabres were offered a 1st from Vancouver for Myers before the WPG trade

Stafford was worth a 2nd or 3rd at the deadline

Armia was a 1st rounder and had value, and since has become a very solid middle six player

Lemiuex was a recent 2nd rounder

We traded the equivalent of 3 first rounders and a second and third to get Kane and take on Bogosian


It’s absolutely up there

- sbroads24



Armia is a bottom 6 player on his third team. We have no idea if we were offered a 1st for Myers that year, which I doubt because his value tanked at that point. Lemiuex is a good 4th liner and Roslivic is ok. No where near trading a center in Oreilly in the prime of his career

Ryan is staying retired, and certainly wouldn't come back to the East coast

It's been so long I don't fully remember (I've always refused to rewatch it) but it would make sense that the canes tried to lock it down.

15 years ago. Jesus.

It doesn’t matter what the pieces turned out to be

If we’re using that logic then we actually have no idea how bad the ROR trade is because for all we know Ryan Johnson goes on to be a Norris caliber defensemen

The point is we traded multiple first round assets and second round assets AND took on 5 years of a negative value defensemen for a forward who was average here and a degenerate off the ice

It was a terrible trade

No we didn’t. We gave away a good second line center who became a Conn Smythe winner somewhere else
- sbroads24
No. we gave away a conn smythe winner. You're talking about maybes would could have received from the pieces we gave away to get Kane.

Yours is speculation. The Reality is we gave away a conn smythe winner for nothing. The Kane trade is no where near as bad as the O'Reilly. And honestly, it is pretty easy to see that.

He didn’t win a Conn Smythe or Selke in Buffalo or Colorado. Therefore saying we traded one is just disingenuous as it’s making it sound like we/they knew he was one when we made the deal
