Sabres would have a big group of defenseman with tyler myers or zadarov.

Myers would probably fit the "likes buffalo " target.

You can be mad at the franchise ect., but I'm sure he wouldn't mind settling in buffalo the city.

Same goes for erod. We have a great education/ family gig here. These guys have young families

there's no way people want this to actually happen.

there's no (frank)ing way.

A "big group"? Likes Buffalo? So he's tall and likes it here so we should add him to a team trying to get better?

You don't even like soft guys. Myers is (frank)ing Charmin

Take of the day.
This is a proper way to think about it.
He isn't worth $6m...Sabres shouldn't care...teams like The Wild, Leafs, Lightning should.
I'm good with it for 2 friggin years

Myers is a shell of what he once was. Unless KA has a time machine and signs the Tyler Myers from 2009, this shouldn't even be considered.

The Sabres should care about bringing in an actually good defenseman. Being paid slightly more than worth is whatever if it's short term. But at least be (frank)ing useful. Be able to defend. Find a defenseman.. who can defend. Please.

He's definitely gotten tougher, he's a veteran.

5th /6th guy for a Rochester guy and Vancouver is adding a player too

I think you're going off the deep end for no reason. Wasn't this (Myers) just Chad D's trade idea?

it was tony's idea. it was a way to fill the middle rd gap while also picking up a young winger who the canucks may be down on. personally i feel like they wouldnt want to give up on a kid that early for a return as poopty as brett murray, even by using myers to offset cost to clear space.

had they thrown away hoglander like that, so early in his career, its an absolute red flag. and meyars sucks.

If the cost is Murray, you do it all day. Worst case, you keep Hoglander and trade Myers to Philly, they seem to like tall RD with low hockey IQs

"In 2022-23, Myers will earn a base salary of $5,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $6,000,000."

You're seriously ok with this??

I mean, the issue won't be the cap hit for the Sabres. His base salary the following year, I think, is "only" a million (yes, cap hit remains).

It's whether or not you think he can be a good solid D man on the 3rd pair.

Normally, no I'm not, but word on the street is the Sabres are a little under the cap floor. You can always hold salary and trade him at the deadline. Someone is always willing to overpay for a right handed dman.

His base salary is $1M his final season, but he has a $5M signing bonus before his final season.

It's one of those poison pill contract structures that makes it impossible to buy out due to the signing bonus.

This would be what his contract buyout would look like:

it's not super great.

outside of Letang. I'd look at Kulak, Subban, Ian Cole, De Haan, Stecher, probably in that order.

I have a feeling it is going to be the reverse ROR brother connection…

Malcolm likes it here, signs in Rochester to be the #3 tendy… PK comes in to play close to his brother and with his brother when Upl or Anderson goes down…
