Don't think they'll do it, Buffalo has the upper hand and they know it. They aren't trying to trade Myers to us, we are trying to trade for Myers. If that trade goes through it is gonna be dipped in Buffalo's favor.Come on Kindl + 2nd round 2016 for Myers now.
So what you are saying is they are all playing poorly because they have "5" good defensemen, and they are splitting all the ice time? Nah I don't buy that. The team is just playing poorly. Thus their stats look poor.
They are getting more playing time than they would in the NHL
They are facing lower level of competition than they would in the NHL
They should be putting up more points, or more stats than they would in the NHL.
If it is true and these guys are "fully developed" and playing in the AHL is a joke to them... Then they need to play better.
Suck it up, you didn't make the team yet, but within 1 year, these kids HAVE to make the NHL, or they are out of hockey basically. This is crunch time and they need to perform. Its very possible that this pressure has alot more to do with jitters than anything else.
Come on Kindl + 2nd round 2016 for Myers now.

Lol, what??? Throw in Mantha and Oulette and you might get Sabres attention. And you'll need to change that 2016 2nd to a 2015 1st rounder.
Right. Mantha, Ouellet, Kindl, and a 1st might get the Sabres attention.
I bet Detroit is going to go after James Wisniewski. It looks like Columbus is out of the playoff picture this season (they have a few weeks to try and turn it around). Wisniewski is signed for two more seasons after this one at a $5.5 million cap hit. He's also from the Michigan area.
Not a chance, especially after Wisniewski blasted Detroit when he signed with Columbus.
I know he turned down Detroit's off when he was a free agent years ago. Did he ever say anything publicly?
“For me, knowing Detroit’s history they don’t really pay the market value for a defenseman or any player,’’ Wisniewski said on NHL Live. “So I didn’t think that was going to be a fit for myself.
It's not scathing, but I don't think Holland would appreciate that type of talk.
6. Gilbert, for the record, does not have no-trade protection. There was a lot of interest in him last summer in free agency. One of the pursuers was Detroit, although if Joan of Arc shot right, we’d be linking her to the Red Wings even though she died 600 years ago.

Considering they don't even want to trade him and is part of their future plans, then yes, I'd say so. Especially considering it is a team in the same division as ours.
Imagine Oilers calling Holland 3 times per day begging for Gustav Nyquist... then offer Keith Aulie and a 2016 2nd rounder
Or even better, Yzerman begging Holland to give him Gus Nyquist for Eric Brewer and 2nd rounder + a signed Yzerman jersey.
No, a GM in that situation will name his price that he is content with which is heavily in his favor. And I mean heavily.
If you want Myers, then be prepared to pay. Buffalo Sabres isn't going to be Detroit's official player development center like many here seem to think
Bottom line, Myers isn't coming to Detroit. Not a chance in the world it ever happens during his current contract. Especially not for Kindl and a 2nd rounder

your arguement is based solely on why the sabres wont trade myers
however, IF the sabres trade Myers then the return will follow suit of all other "name" players traded over the last decade from thronton through kesler and luongo
the reason or circumstances surronding the trade will become irrelevant as that all goes out the window the nanosecond buffalos GM decides(if he was to) that he is trading tyler myers
if myers isnt traded it could be because the sabres have no interest in trading him or because tyler has begged them not be traded or because it was a thursday
i agree though, kindl and a 2nd is laughable, as laughable as nyquist or mantha having to be includ.

Myers is better than Chara at that same age and has accomplished more at the young age of 24. So in that respect, Myers is worth more than Chara was when he was traded. And look at what Chara brought back...
Just stop with the Chara comparisons. There's no comparison to be made between the two.
