Myers slashing a guy in the back is not a good penalty, particularly when it leads to a goal.

Exactly. I get it if a forward is coming back- not a third liner thar we already have by the ton. Devils advocate might say murray reaaaly doesn't like myers game, but it certainly sounds like fowler would be more of the exact same.

Does Fowler punch people in the face? Even if they have a full face shield?

Dear all people in the south. We are completely aware it is warm there. It would be news if it wasn't. Thank you.

Most of the time I hear how nice the weather is in Florida, my father is the one who's babbling away.

He is almost 80 and not as sharp as he used to be. Like most floridians.

sorry i'm not moving Myers for Fowler and crap pieces that can't help us next year.

Why does it have to help "NEXT" year?

The point isn't to do this NOW, but to make sure we do it RIGHT

I like Fowler. The Anaheim blogger has a good write up on their defense where he basically says Fowler has to be either a top pair guy (which he doesn't think he is ) or a 3rd pairing guy because him and Vatanen shouldn't be paired together on the 2nd.

Lindholm is their best guy and he's a lefty. Myers would be his partner on the top pair.

If they want a #1-2 guy in Myers than it needs to be Fowler + another good piece

Ideally I'd want the help asap... But I also don't want a lesser talent just bc he can play right now. I want the guys who's gonna be a better player over the next 10 years or so

Absolutely
I'd be shocked if Myers got traded for Fowler straight up... That would be crazy IMO
There would have to be at least 1 other piece coming our way & maybe 2

I hear ya
It blew my mind that we wouldn't give McNabb a shot up here n then ended up trading him. If he can play regularly for the cup champs he prob could've helped our awful defense...

Murray wasn't psyched about him though... Or maybe he was just really psyched about getting Fasching
Maybe Myers is the guy we have to give up to get that piece Murray really likes, and Fowler is just the side piece we know can get plugged in & be decent?

And 2 goals on 3 shots in the 2nd had to make us sweat out whether or not they were going to get another flukey win.

I really hate the fact that we are only 2 points up right now and are sooooooooooooooooooo much worse than everyone else. These stupid goalies have to keep us in every game and have stolen us probably 10+ points that we have no business having.

We should have 30th just about locked up at this point, but instead, we are stealing a ton of undeserved points. If our goalies cost us 30th place, I am not going to be happy at all.

I think one will def get traded soon.
Probably Enroth bc I think he has more trade value right now.
He seems like a guy we could def re-sign too, if we wanted to give him a call july1.
I know his Gf & he def likes buffalo a lot. But he does want a chance to show he can play. There's only a few other places where he might get as good a chance as in buffalo

Another way to look at it ..

Halak made only 8 saves tonight.
Neuvirth 28 saves

And Foligno got the 1st star of the game.

I disagree. He is for the most part playing 3rd pairing minutes in a sheltered role and with him they're a non playoff team. Worth mentioning as well that he's been a healthy scratch the past two games. If they want to improve they need someone better than McNabb in their top six and i think they've realized that.

This does not need to take 2-3 more years before we see anything, how long do people want to wait? even Murray said it wont take that long.

Yea McNabb is going to be a career 4-6 guy IMO.
