EK reporting Sabres would want Nichushkin from Star for Myers.
Wonder if they would do B Schenn for Myers?

- 3flyerkids


They can want all day long, but their price is crazy. First they want Anthony Mantha and now Nichushkin. I think B Schenn is more in the ballpark of the player they'd actually get. No way the Sabres are getting either of those guys unless they pony up other young assets, which isn't what they're looking to do.

I would make that trade in a heartbeat...I think Nichushkin has more value than B. Schenn though, so the Flyers would probably have to add something else to sweeten the deal.

Would make that trade on which side? As Stars' GM or Sabres' GM?

We could throw in Akeson and they could throw in a 4th

But I think it would be fair value one for one

No way. B. Schenn for Myers would be an absolute steal for the Flyers, especially with the Sabres knowing how they're hurting for D help.

So according to Dreger, they asked for Larkin and Kindl from Detroit and were rebuffed. So they ask an even bigger price from Dallas.

No matter what Buffalo fans say, Myers isn't that good and you are not paying for potential anymore after 5 years in the league. He is what he is at this point. If Myers was any good or still had a ton of potential, Buffalo wouldn't want to trade now that the actual cash to paid out on the reminder of his deal is less than his caphit. Unless of course they view his performance as not the worth the caphit or he has asked for a trade and is a lockerroom cancer.

Reminds me of the quote from High Fidelity:

"Sometimes I got so bored of trying to touch her breasts that I would try to touch between her legs instead. It was like trying to borrow a dollar, getting turned down, and asking for fifty grand instead."

Of course they do. With the Flyers not fighting and not having a high PIM total, they need SOMETHING to write about.

I'd trade B. Schenn straight up for Nichusckin, Myers, or the Detroit package.

The price for defensemen is nuts right now because so many people need them.

First team to blink is going to pay a boatload for a top 4 d-man.

Really, who's available right now that's legit top-4? Myers, Sekera, and... uh... That's basically it.

Luke Schenn? Number 5 overall pick is 2008. He hits hard.

Agreed.

See, I can leave out pertinent sections of a post, ignore the full intent of what a poster is saying and mischaracterize the rest of the post, too.

Yeah, he hits, but sometimes I think he couldn't defend himself with a gun in a knife fight.
