I remember two years ago (I think it was), when they had it on a Thursday at 5 or 6pm, right next to the Concert at the Canal. I thought that was a good idea. Not sure why they don't keep that up.

Weber may just help us get that top prospect next summer though... he may actually be part of the plan

we better be getting somethign ridiculous.. i really think he needs to be part of the future though.. if he continues like he did at the end of last season his contract is very reasonable and he will be one of the older dmen on the team

where there is smoke, there is fire


too much talk in the last 2 weeks about myers being moved, not from here


my guess is myers is not murray's guy
there is a good chance that myers showing up out of shape a few years ago is in the back of murray's mind
murray is going to construct his team and it looks like myers may not be in his plans

Opinion and fact are two different things

Murray laughed at moving him for a top 10 pick.

Not everyone can. People have blinders on when players make a lot of money.

He's not Chara so he needs to be traded. It's as simple as that

I just want to see those dumb as dirty cross checking penalties to a minimum. Senseless moves.

That, and, he explicitly said he was not shopping any of them (Myers/Foligno/Hodgson et. al.) but is always listening. Not verbatim, but "If a team is willing to overpay, we will listen."

Those are easy no's from them

Blackhawks aren't giving up saad and taking on myers salary.

Detroit doesn't give up guys like Mantha unless they're dealing for the Weber's of the world

San Jose is contemplating dealing both Thonton and Marleau, trading Couture who was a finalist to make team canada for a risk would get the GM fired.

Philly is an interesting one but I be it would have to be either or with Laughton and Couturier.

Something like Laughton+2015 1st+roster player (cap dump perhaps).

But Chara does the same thing all the time. He just doesn't get penalized for it because he's Chara.

As far as value is concerned, that's not a terrible list. But I don't think all those trades fit the Sabres needs. I mean, if you're going to cough up a top 3 24 yo D, I think you should get some specific pieces. The Detroit offer would be my first choice, followed by Chicago's, but I'd consider swapping out TT if he can't play top line wing. (I don't know a whole lot about him tbh other than his high talent.)
