He wouldnt have a choice. He would just wake up one day sleeping on a bench infront of your arena. Second, I wouldnt put laughton in top 6 yet. Third line center for sure right now. Not top two. Vinny would be a very good 2nd line center I think. So yah, you may have to move grigosomethingoranother.

Another good blog, what the hell did we do to deserve this treatment after going through one a week!!??
Keep up the good work Michael, I'm enjoying reading them.
I personally wouldn't take on Letangs contract as it is too long...8 years is about 5 too long. It will cripple us in the critical out years when we are competitive and news space to bring in one or two guys to get us over the hump.
I would take Briere though, he isn't going to be her long and he can retire a Sabres...he would be a positive influence for next year...and, we might be able to get something for him at the trade deadline...the guy is money in the playoff's, somebody will buy him for that alone.
TM can then package Montreals 1st with another pick/player and move up closer to the 10 spot.

We can work around that. I think waking up on a bench outside of your arena would make realize hes being moved.lol

It's a good deal in principle but I think there would have to be another deal in place for it to make sense on our end.

It's been mentioned already in another post here but this deal sees the sabres move more salary out than bring in.

So myers is an untouchable player on your team in your opinion. Just curious if The flyers approached buffalo about myers and say stewart, I like stewart, what would the flyers have to include to make a deal?

I would take Letang fwiw.

If you can get the "old" Letang back and your not overpaying in terms of assets than it could be very good move for us long term.

Talent, of any kind.

If we're moving Myers and Stewart there has to be

a) roughly 10 mil in cap coming back (at least)
b) roughly a poop load of talent to make it worth our while.

I can't think of any names to suggest that wouldn't make either fan base vomit or laugh, but that's about what it would take.

Yah, Im not prepared to offer either of them for myers. I think myers would benifit from a change of location but its risky to give up promising young players still improving each year.

Yes we can and where this team is, nobody should be untouchable.

Agreed, I think the only untouchable thing we have isn't even a player yet, our 2015 1st

There was a delay in his development, but last year it seemed he turned the corner and got back on track.
He's not untouchable
But to get him it probably would take either Coturier, or your next two 1sts
And we would of course take Vinny off your hands

I doubt a deal gets done with myers involved bc our asking price would just be too high
Ehrhoff I could see working

True, but I think some players we do have, it would make little to no sense in trading

Myers
Girgensons
Ristolainen
Armia
Compher

Unless you are getting a bonafide stud I wouldn't include any of the above
