Myers + Stafford (Rental) > Bogosian
Lemieux + Armia + 1st > Kane + Kasdorf
Very good deal for Winnipeg.
I think the Sabres did fine.
Kane IMO is the best player in the deal and is worth more than a guy taken at the top of the 2nd round last year, a former 1st rounder in his 2nd year in the AHL improving but not exactly blowing anyone away and what is likely to be a fairly late 1st. Plus Kasdorf plays at RPI so you have to assume the Sabres' brass has seen him and liked him enough to ask to have him included for a reason.
Myers has been on a steady decline since his rookie season and has been pretty darn disappointing for them for 4 seasons in a row now. Bogosian is a more than adequate replacement IMO and will make them tougher to play against plus is an upstate New Yorker. If Myers turns it around in Winnipeg and gets back to being the player he was in his first couple seasons then this will look very different but at this point that was a quite a while ago IMO.
I think this is a good deal for both teams.
