I'd do Brayden Schenn and Vinny for Myers, Foligno and a blah prospect or late second rd pick
- homiedclown

Lets break this down.

So basically Brayden Schenn for Myers and Foligno

Vinny for a blah prospect and 2nd rd pick.

That is awful.

That's still not a trade I make.

I doubt it matters, I am guessing Murray is tanking one more season

opinions vary

it creates 2 lines that can score, and if goaltending is fine on this team, competitive for next season

schenn and vinny improves the pp overnight


it's only awful if you think murray and nolan are planning on tanking next season, or unless you think myers will win 3 norris trophy's


schenn is a difference maker, which this team needs up front to turn the page

Could be right. gonna be another season (OR 2) before the prospects we have now are worth a damn.

How about I think Myers will be part of a stout defensive group that consists of Risto, Zad, Myers, Pysyk, McCabe.

Vinny is nothing but a dump for Philly right now. They should get absolutely nothing of significance for him.

Me thinks the Flyers are gonna sneak into that 1-3rd pick
- cabin

if the plan is to tank, ellis and adam should be with the big club

big z should be playing elsewhere

a goalie should be moved

weber, benoit and meszaros should be playing 20 minutes a night

lieuwen should start 30 games in net for the rest of the year


do it right, or improve this team now

that's great, bank on prospects like the oilers did

Anyone see the Edmonton game last night?

Hall is drinking the tank koolaid for sure.. Just gives up the backcheck on Kesler, allowing him to score.

I was listening to it on the radio

I can't see a top 2 pick in the sabres future right now

Yeap The Sabres and Oilers are the exact same situations.

Except the Oilers are underperforming against expectations, whereas the Sabres are exactly what they were supposed to be.

But the Oilers are professionals at it.

The Oilers totally cleaned house of management.
The Oilers went out and acquired Verteran leadership.
The Oilers have made good selections past the first rond.
The Oilers had the #1 rated prospect group in all of hockey.
The Oilers have good D-men/ prospect.
The Oilers have good goaltending.
The Oilers have 3 first round picks in 2015.

Man I wish Buffalo did that and had that stuff...

IMO, again IMO...trying to build a winner now is just insane...when for 2-1/2 season you have tanked with the ultimate goal of qualifying for 30th this year. It's like playing your scrub backup goaltender in the 7th game of the SC...what the hell are you doing...rushing to 8th place...again???!?!

Be patient. There are plenty of moves GMTM can make to limit the effectiveness of Coach Theo's brilliance in getting the team to buy-in.

IMO and I've said it all along.


Vinny could be for us what Andreychuk was to Tampa.

That said I'd only take him if it were a dump. In no way does Couturier and Vinny = Myers.
- dadeadhead

According to Coller on twitter, Myers = Mark Fayne and Cody Franson

Apparently, Couterier would score more in Buffalo, despite struggling to score on the Flyers for 4 seasons now, but on a historically bad Sabres teams, we have seen Myers max

when the sabres finish 27th or 28th and end up with the 3rd or 4th pick

the tank will fail
the season will be a waste
the sabres will be forced to draft a d man
myers will become expendable


just a thought

Couterier's lack of speed makes me think he will be coho in 3 years

I don't give any credence to anything that comes from WGR employee's.

Except Couturier can actually play defense.
