TmanVan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 On the flip-side Buff seems to be accumulating a Helluvalotta' pieces..look out in 3~5 yrs. Connor Mcdavid/ Jack Eichel Sam Reinhart Zemgus Girgensons Mikhail Grigorenko Joel Armia Rasmus Ristolainen Nikita Zadorov Jake McCabe Mark Pysyk Definelty could be dangerous even without Myers.

Plum Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Fowler-Myers Lindholm-Lovejoy Beauchemin-Vatanen Really good D core along with Andersen back there makes them really, really heavy cup contenders. I think Buffalo wants a 1st + Smith-Pelly. They want some jam in their line-up I bet, got alot of skill, can draft another skilled player but get a good heavy top 9 player. Myers isn't worth alot IMO, he's struggling, low price but everyone knows his upside so some heavy negatives with Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 On the flip-side Buff seems to be accumulating a Helluvalotta' pieces..look out in 3~5 yrs. Talked to Sabres1 about just that. They scare me with their potential. But they have to put it all together first. In a related story though. IF Buffalo trades Myers does that mean they forego MacDavid/Eichel and go for Hanifin instead?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Doughty is don't you think Tampa is happy they picked Stamkos instead? I know I'm taking Tavares over Hedman. Ovechkin/Malkin..... or Cam Barker instead? Should I go on?

Although I think they could probably gain quite a lot by trading down to the 3rd, I would think a move like that would be a waisted opportunity, if not almost a step backwards. I think what they get with this year is pretty much a capstone to this tanking project of theirs and they will probably start trying to building putting the team together for next year. However, if Myers is gone, they could possibly trade up to the 3rd pick from their other 1st rounds this year, and what ever they get from the ducks, to possibly draft a Mcdavid/Eichel AND Hannifin. Now that would be a haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be a haul. Which is exactly what I was thinking. They could very well trade down. but then use their other 11 first rounds picks (I know it's not 11) and a prospect and trade into the top 5 all over again. Hard not to think Edm/Arizona/Carolina wouldn't take a solid prospect and or roster player and 3 extra 1st round picks or some nonsense to give up that pick. But losing Myers for less than premium return is unlikely to happen and it does raise an interesting possibility that they do some serious dealing. Murray has been anything but silent on the trade front and hockey as a sport has been dying for a trade like that for almost 2 decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Would probably take Tanev+. Not sure if that would be worth the over-payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Plow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Could see the Ducks settling for a cheaper option at the deadline like Franson/Methot. If there willing to mortgage there future for the Cup this year, they should make an offer for one of Yandle or OEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 What would it take? Sbisa, clendening, 2nd? Seriously? Myers is very much an "impact player". Why would a team trade a young impact player with an affordable contract for 3 "maybes"? Sbisa, Clendening, and the 2nd are all longshots to become impact players. At least one impact player, or prospect with a high likelihood of becoming one, would have to be going the other way for Buffalo to even consider. So for us, that means at least one of Horvat, Virtanen, or our 2015 1st rounder, PLUS a "maybe" or two. Expensive? Certainly. That's why I said earlier we don't have the chips to make it happen. Whereas Anaheim can easily give up two of Rakell/Smith-Pelley/Ritchie/Etem/Theodore/Silfverberg/2015 1st without crippling their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowler, Vatanen, and Lindholm provide a decent amount of offense. But they don't have the big guy, who prevents the other team from setting up shop in front of the net. Myers can physically handle guys like Kopitar, Thornton, Carter, Backes, etc. And the thinking is, if he weren't the go-to guy offensively on his team, and allowed to focus more on defense, he might be very good at it.

Fanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Buffalo should be asking for Gibson, plus a very promising roster player (Lindholm for example) plus a high pick (2nd round'er) for Myers. Yes, I know that's a LOT, but you gotta give up a LOT for a legit chance at winning it all. Ok, maybe Lindholm is a pipe-dream, but at least ask for that and see what's what. Buffalo has leverage (they're already the worst in the league so.....), Anaheim does not if they truly want to win this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they trade away Myers and we assume they pick either Mcdavid or Eichel then a d-man not named Lindholm or Fowler would probably have to be included in the deal. Gibson and Vatanen/Theodore would help the rebuild quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
