He's a better defensive player now than in his Calder year, but his offensive production has dipped.
FWIW, Coburn followed a similar trajectory.
Schenn + Schenn is a reasonable price, but it we'd need to pick up a forward somewhere.
Myers = Coburn
I'd rather not trade them for another Coburn
Myers = Coburn
I'd rather not trade them for another Coburn
Scott Laughton?
Or maybe we sweeten the pot a little bit more and ask for Chris Stewart?
Speak for yourself playboy, I'd love to add another coburn especially not one who is far better offensively than the one we currently have
I wouldn't say far better. Myers had one season where he put up good numbers. Personally, if the Flyers are looking for a defenseman that size, I want one who is incredibly abrasive and physical, which neither are. Yeah, they're physical in spurts, but not consistently. I want someone with a mean streak.

If Myers could be had at a reasonable price I wouldn't mind. Schenn+ Schenn is too much regardless of what buffalo fans think. I wouldn't want to use Laughton either because I'm pretty high on him. I just feel we don't have the assets to get him without one of those two going. Maybe a deal around read for Myers. Not sure if buffalo does that
I would do Schenn + Schenn for Myers + 2nd
Why is it important that big defenseman by nasty?
Honest question.
A big, mobile guy who uses his reach can be just as effective, if not more.
Big, mobile, nasty and puck skills = Chris Pronger, and he's a rare commodity.
I would do Schenn + Schenn for Myers + 2nd
I feel like I would much rather trade the schenns for Kane. I think it's revisited sooner or later. He brings exactly what we are looking for on the top line with speed, scoring, and physical play.
schennx2 plus 1st for myers plus 2nd.
I don't want to include our 1st this year for almost any available player. Certainly not for Myers.
I'd be up for a Cobrun/Myers swap (or even a Schenn(s)/Myers) swap, though I think the latter is an overpayment. Myers can play the minutes Coburn does, maybe not at the same level, but he's only 24. Still has time to grow. Not sure why the Sabres would make that trade though, seeing as how they are in a rebuild. Would make very little sense for them to trade a 24 year old on a reasonable contract for the next few years for a soon-to-be 30 year old whose contract expires next year.
Well according to Sabres fans, Myers is clearly a better player than Coburn.
IMO, that goes to show how bad everyone else on that team is.
It's funny how the team can barely compete and yet our pieces aren't worth much. I understand being unhappy about a return, but to say negative things about the player being offered is just silly. Schenn Brothers for Myers is definitely a fair trade. (Especially if the Larkin + Kindl rumors are true.)
Myers is far better than Coburn offensively. On a better Flyers team with a great PP, Myers would put up 30-40 points.
22 points in 62 games on the atrocious Sabres..
