Do you still want to trade Vanek/Miller?

[Sabre Dance]

FYI. I wonder whether a) this is true; and b) if true, how iron clad these arrangements are. Regehr waived his a couple years ago to come to Buffalo, albeit under different circumstances.

Note with trade talk, #Sabres Ryan Miller does have a limited no trade clause and #Oilers are one of the teams on his no trade list.

Its up to Ryan Miller. Edmonton stinking right now doesnt help.

I still believe its Washington or Philly for Ryan Miller, I could see vanek also going to these teams.

Don't believe it. After his antics on Tuesday and Wednesday, I take anything Kypreos says with a huge dump of horse ****.

Haven't we gone through this before? How does HE know who's on Millers NTC? I'm fairly certain only Ryan and Regier know, unless someone from Edmonton is spilling this right and left.

I'm going to sit here and wait for Bobby Mac to come in and tell everyone they just got trolled, Hard.

Regardless this is soo juicy to eat up right now.

I dont see how anyone would make up what he said. What probably happened is his source told him to slow down.

It's not Darcy. Expect a "what?" moment when you read the trade line, not a "that's exactly what <insert insider> said."

I found this article the other day amusing:
Wetmore: Thomas Vanek to the Wild? No foregone conclusions in sports

Miller, Vanek and a 2nd to Edmonton for Yakupov and a 1st?

@n_r_g Thx Nate. Trade rumors are never right when it comes to Buffalo.

Miller, Vanek and a 2nd to Edmonton for Yakupov and a 1st?

Dream on.

Miller, Pysyk, and a 2nd for Yakupov if the Oilers panic and Miller waives.

Maybe.

 

[Chainshot]

There are few ancillary pieces in a major move that I'd be loathe to see leave. Mark Pysyk is at the very top of that list, on the top shelf, hidden behind the cookie jar and in a small, locked container with only one key. And wrapped in duct tape. Made of kevlar.

Maybe.

Despite the fact that our 4th line would be AWESOME with Grigs and Yak on it, I'd keep Pysyk.

I think our values were pretty similar.

Subtract a 1st coming back, add Pysyk and subtract Vanek.

The implication is that Vanek is worth Pysyk and a 1st.

Given what Pommers got, I would have to say that's likely.

Take out the 2nd, and I'd think long and hard about Miller/Pysyk for Yak.

Darcy would be an idiot to pass up Miller and Pysyk for Yakupov.

If we had a coach who would let him play his game, maybe. But he seems to have the same "compete level" issues as Grigs does.

you were being serous... wow

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Darcy would be an idiot to pass up Miller and Pysyk for Yakupov.

Personally I put Pysyk's value to be not far off for Yak. Pysyk is going to be a damned stud.

Yak obviously has more value from a draft position perspective, but in reality, I find them to be pretty close.

We're dealing from a position of strength to address a position of weakness.

I have enjoyed being SOOO wrong about Pysyk so far.... He is looking very much like the ideal #2 defensemen. With a game so well rounded, that he can be paired with any time of player. Perfect piece to any puzzle

Pretty much how i feel.

Yak is really talented, but I'm not sure I give up that stability for someone with the baggage that Yakupov has.

He reminds me of tallinder; tall, fast, active stick, and extremely smart defensively.

 

[McCauleyChirps]

I'd want Edmonton's 2015 1st, anything that gets us more opportunity for McDavid.

yeah..

 

[Mit Yarrum]

I wonder if we can work Jairus Byrd into possible deals here. Assuming Byrd will resign wherever he goes. Something like Byrd/Miller for a stud prospect. Does Edmonton have a CFL team?

then you better ask for their 2015 1st

I wouldn't deal Pysyk, either.

I was just throwing out what I think it would take to land Yakupov if that is who the Sabres are targetting.
