I don't see the Oilers wanting anymore picks.

IMO you would have to include Reinhart or Ristolainen to Myers + a prospect. At that point not sure it's worth it

Would you trade the 2nd overall pick if a team offered that. If edmonton wanted our pick i'd ask for Hall+. Myers and two late picks isn't even close to that.

we may have enough picks or prospects but no team would (or should) give that pick up for anything less than what they could've gotten with that pick, a franchise player/game changer.

the oilers fans would be looking at that package for eberle

before the july first moves, I would have put an A on his jersey
- homiedclown

I still would have.

the sabres have the assets though if a team would part with the pick

add another 5 picks in the top 50 for this years draft to go with everything in the pipeline, can only have so many players under contract


plus I am sure more picks will be added come deadline time

Girgensons should have the C on his jersey.

I still would have.

he seems like the perfect Nolan guy, no clue why he was (frank)ed over to start the season

He doesn't need it.


Everyone knows it's his team.

You don't have to give up all that to get a player like Eberle, Myers would get you that.

You're right. He doesn't need it. But it was obvious that it was his team last year too.

Not sure about last year. I think we all knew eventually it was going to be his. This year he's shown he's ready.

Also, Ristolainen is an absolute stud. If Zadarov pans out to his potential, Darcy did a great job setting this team up for the future

It was last year. At first when Nolan took over and the team dynamic shifted I couldn't tell if it was Nolan's persona it seemed to shift toward or if it was that they were following Girgensons lead. When Girgs missed time with the injury, it showed me that it was his lead they were following.

3 pages back i said the same thing...but ya...next season he deserves the "C"

just continues to remind me of drury

They're not just going to take it away from Gionta though. So it'll be a bit before we see it on Girgs.

"Forbes: Sabres worth $288 million, giving Pegula $99 million boost over his 2011 purchase price?

Notes from the Buffalo News:

"Josh Gorges returned to practice Tuesday. He hopes to play Friday or Saturday against Montreal, his former team."

"Ted Nolan says they may not recall a center with Cody McCormick out. Patrick Kaleta, a right winger, has practiced at center the for two days. Nolan also said it was likely centers Zemgus Girgensons and Cody Hodgson could take some double shifts."

"Offensive defenseman Jerome Leduc is playing right wing, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, because the team is short on forwards and long on D-men.

"I like it," he told the paper. "Being at forward, I'm in the lineup so I want to help the team win games. I try to be focused on what I can do."

You don't have to give up all that to get a player like Eberle, Myers would get you that.

we were talking about the first or second overall pick for 2015

pay attention

girgens is all out hustle on each shift, drury IMO was just a sound steady player

a combo of varada (the pest in him), barnaby (attitude) and mike foligno (point production)

Some Twitter buzz mentioning Stewart going to Winnipeg has some legs.

Sounds like ebay. Just becayse you put that price tag on something doesn't mean anyone is willing to pay that for it.

They can have him tonight!

easy now
he scored 22 points and played less then 16 minutes per game last year

Girgensons reminds me most of Peca. The main difference is he's bigger, so hopefully his style of play won't wear on his body quite as much.

Point production had nothing to do with it. You don't have to light up the box score nightly to be a leader.
