Ill tell you who they want, Richards.

They are looking to get rid of subban while he still has value as a rookie.

We have tinordi, bealeui, emelin, gorges and will buy any UFA you can think of.

Name someone on the kings DEFENSE who can or is as good as subbans OFFENSIVE and ( not as much ) defensive abilities.

Subban can handle the puck, rush the puck, skate fast and hard, hit, make a play, deke, do his back hand rush that no one seems to know how to stop, has a VERY LOUD attitude and can very well be a good captain on a team.

Id trade him for. richards and a first. also throw in plekanec.

Why does Myers command something better at this time in his career?
- hscesq


because Myers will far surpass Subban, not only trade for now but the future too.... Remember thats why you guys moved Halak and kept Price

Fair enough. Actually, I think most Buffalo fans would say it's into it's second season for Myers.
- hscesq


Lol habs fans are dillusional if they think the sabres will be trading myers who just signed a 5.5 mill dollar deal for 7 years. This deal does not even kick into gear until next year. The kid is 21 years old and will be the corner stone of our defense for many years to come.

We won't hear anything else on this until something actually goes down. That's how Ek works

They will not trade Myers.... If Buffalo refused to trade Myers to the Ducks for Getzlaf why the hell would they trade him to Montreal for Plekanec and the Overrated PK Subban...
- BuffaloKyle


Not going to get into a pissing match but:

Myers: 8 points, -8, avg. 22.50 TOI (2nd on team), 36 hits, 43 blocked shots
Subban: 18 points, +0, avg. 24:00 TOI (1st on team), 59 hits, 63 locked shots

Talk to me about overrated when Subban shows better stats in every single category.

I don't think either team makes a trade like that, wouldn't help either team.

The overrated Myers for the overrated Subban. Makes sense to me.
- hscesq


Myers is overrated i agree.... but Myers has a size advantage... But Subban is a hell of alot more physical.... Thinking about it now.... Its not as bad as i thought...

You forgot games played. Both are really good young D-men who have had their struggles. Neither team is trading one for the other, let alone to a divisional rival.

I see. Well, seeing as I can't see into the future, I can't argue this one with you.
Also, I don't understand how Halak and Price have anything to do with this.

Ek, the Sabres aren't trading anyone, getting a new gm or a new coach, they will live and die with this lineup. 14 yrs of nothing if it didn't change with a new owner loosing games sure as hell won't change it.

Myers also missed a significant amount of time this year due to a wrist injury. You gotta take that into account.

But choosing Subban over Myers is akin to choosing Redden over Chara...
- Cimo


Not exactly. Subban is more physical than Redden was, but it's not far off.
People are going to rip this apart because of where Redden is now, but think about it at the time they let Chara walk.

Hindsight is obviously 20/20, and we'd love to have that one back- but Redden was putting up 50 pt seasons when that decision was made, and was a cornerstone for our defense. Let's not forget that we got to the SCF the next year without Chara.

People paint it like it was a choice between a 7th string D-man and Zdeno Chara. Chara was on the way up, but definitely didn't show what he eventually would.... Redden was at his peak.

Not as easy of a decision at the time.

So...he hasn't underachieved at all? I'm not sure how that makes us/me "dillusional".
