Took some time for these guys to gel together. We knew it would happen. I just didn't think it would be this quik.

The entire culture of the team has changed. It is in large part due to Nolan. But the players buying in has a lot to do with their respect for one another. It seems this group likes to play together.

One would have to assume that one of Myers/Zadorov/Risto would have to be involved.

Start with Myers , Psysk and a 1st, just to start.

Can we say lets have fun games like this but lose them, too? Murray must be mainlining tums.
- Der Kaiser

If Murray has no other plan or capability besides getting first this year, we would be doomed to be Edmonton.

The part that I like the most about how things are going right now is that I don't care when they lose. It's awesome. I always turn the games on with the hope that they will come out with a W, but if they don't, I'm not disappointed.

I would think if we start winning and falling farther away from the top 5 picks, you would have to consider trying for Hall.

Ok.. Sabres make the playoffs....Wina a couple rounds.. Does Nolan win coach of the year AGAIN ?

You've now depleted your defensive depth and you're stuck with guys like Weber and Benoit for quite some time.

I'll pass.

The playoffs have no bearing on the awards. They're all voted on at the end of the regular season. If this team makes the playoffs, I would have to think he'd be in the discussion for it.

for a guy like Hall, it's hard to pass on. Myers would have to be included because they need a number 1 D man.

100% Agreed.

I'd be mortified if we found out that he was all in on that pick. I hope his plan b is a good one though.

Way better than being outshot 50-13 or something like that.

I agree. Hall is a stud

I'd do it for Myers I think. Just depends on what else they want. I wouldn't give up another one of the Dmen though. Just not enough in the pipe behind those guys. There's plenty of forwards though. If you're getting a guy like Hall, you could probably send Armia back in the package. Or maybe a guy like Baptiste or Fasching.

If we moved Myers for Hall................ let's just say.............. with team like the Hawks in cap trouble, we can get another D man next year. Let's just say...................

I think myers, armia and a first would be a good starting point. Then gmtm would have to go all in on free agency and trading some of these other assets/picks.

I don't move Myers for Hall. That's an even trade - oil needs to give me more. I like that we're building from the back. We can find scoring elsewhere. We can't find stud dmen coming into their prime with great longterm caphits.

Could always try and get a D man back for Stafford or Stewart if you move either one.

I would move Myers in a second in a package for hall. If we land hall expect to give up a player you really don't want to give up.

You'd probably just get that team's version of Weber or Meszaros.

So you are saying Myers is worth more then Hall? i'm sorry I don't agree with that.

Coach Theo has this team rolling. They have bought into his no system, and lack of X's and O's.
If we want 30th and a top 2 pick, then Sabres should trade Nolan to the Oil. Not sure we would want anything back

Wouldn't surprise me if they wanted Risto and girgensons in package.

not really, if you find a team that has to move a player for cap reasons.

Yeah, click.
