With him we give up 2.9 Goals against
Without, over 4 per game

Yeah the one who gives the puck away, sucks on the PP, doesn't have many goals or points but thankfully has that big reach to save his arse.

Well considering how many teams value him ( Sabres included) i'd say you are incorrect.

What was incorrect that I posted? He does give the puck away, he is not stellar on the PP, does not have many goals or points and if he did not have his reach, good for him by the way, he would not be the player he is. If he was so valuable he would not even be discussed for a trade so he is not as valuable as some think he is here.

True
But how often are teams in total rebuild like us with all kinds of assets for a new GM to play with?
Add to that,
The Oilers have to be getting desperate. And if they are getting another top2 pick, moving a forward for a defenseman seems to be a no brainer

They have lots of forwards to move. Hall is the one you build around.

I think you are equating cause and affect inappropriately. The Sabres have had other injuries as well. Also, Enroth had a save percentage that he could not sustain earlier this season.

You know Chara led the league in Turnovers when he was nominated for a Norris?

When you are always on the ice and handling the puck, you are inevitably going to turn it over more than others. It's simple math

For any on here familiar with the Buffalo music scene, Lance Diamond has passed away. Just found out.

I know he's up there singing "Little Red Corvette" to the big guy.

Damn . A real Gentleman and elder statesman of the Buffalo Music community . He will be missed greatly.

Ok, well I don't want to rain on your Myers parade but enjoy him while he's here because he's trade bait.

Kind of like your theory on Myers not being a good PP player.

There are 4 other players sucking on that PP.

When Myers does half the things that Chara did on the level of team then that analogy will have some validity.

I'll enjoy him when he is here in a couple of years being a stud

You probs should have brought an umbrella for your Bennet parade though

You mean like always handle the puck? Because Myers does.

Top #1 Dmen make others around them better. They do not rely on others to lead the way. Maybe one of the many reasons why TM is pretty actively listening to offers for Myers.

Ok man, you win.

Johnny Boychuk career before this year- 1 PPG
This season with Tavares- 3 Pp goals


Glad at 31 years old he decided to be a great PP defensemen

You're right, switch Myers with Chara, Karlsson, Keith, Doughty, Pietrangelo, and they score 50 and the Sabres make the playoffs.

add Reinhart, Grigs, Armia, this years 1st, you might see his PP points go up

Not according to a few in here that claim to have ins with the team. Only taking calls . Not making them.

Off Topic I know . But that goalie for Slovakia was amazing tonight. I like when the Air Canada fans starting chanting Goalie Goalie . When he was not named star of the Game.
