He is (frank)ing 22 years old... If he cant turn it around by 25 i would be open

Took awhile before chara developed.

Pardy is not in the plans.
- Homer

I was kind of holding out hope we might sign him to be our 7th dman.. He would be a very solid injury fill in guy..l really liked his physicality last season.

Are they still interested in sulzer?

- Homer

No? I was pleasantly surprised by his play. He was 10x better than Sulzer, especially in his own end.

you have got to be kidding. You'd trade Myers to move up 3 spots? If it was to get into the top 4 maybe, not for #5.
- Homer

Especially whe you could probably trade Vanek and 8th for 4th.

Oh thank god... Another voice of reason
- JVince11

Maybe Myers for #5 straight up.....no way Myers and #8 though.

- Homer

Agreed.

Especially whe you could probably trade Vanek and 8th for 4th.
- toddkac

I dont think I'd do that either. Vanek and 16 probably, not 8.

He was born in Finland, raised in Finland, and played his entire hockey career in the Finnish system. I'm aware, oh wise-one, that his father is Russian, but I don't claim to be from Ireland or Italy bc my ancestors were born there. Thanks for putting me in my place though.

I know the Canes and Sabres are talking a lot.....highly doubt 57 is involved.
- Homer

Isnit just to get grigo his linemate nichuskin from the wjc?

Or what?


If the goal is to build around grigo and hodgson with strong scoring youth wingers.. Im in heaven

You're forgetting that Myers is bad.

finally some common sense, cause thats exactly what I was thinking.

I think nashville wants a center though.. which is why they will stay and draft barkov. The second best center, IMO.

Nobody said that out 8th pick was involved. It was mentioned by Kyper that myers, gardiner and someone else was talked about for 5th

- Homer

Yea that would be different...

Them grabbing nurse or risto at 8 would be perfect... Both are nhl ready right now.

I dont think I'd do that either. Vanek and 16 probably, not 8.
- Homer

is columbus interested in Vanek at all?

It was just an FYI dude. You can go back to your outdated stereotypes now.

Said one NHL team exec on the draft floor: "I bet you we see 10 trades today at least."

You're forgetting that Myers is bad.
- kritter65

and you're forgetting he is a physical freak that is only 23.

I'm not a big Myers fan but I understand that his ceiling is very high, no way I'm trading him to move 3 spots.

is columbus interested in Vanek at all?
- Mentalorgasm5

Maybe, not their 1st choice. would have him and Gaborik coming into this year on expiring deals....

Ducks GM Bob Murray fairly active, lots of chit chat right now... Boston's Chiarelli also a popular guy.

Pysyk, mcnabb, and grigs will all be signing autographs at fnc so doubt they are involved in any potential trades
