I know it was just a rumor at the trade deadline, but my wish is to get Tyler Myers.

With Buffalo in full on rebuild, I wonder if a 1st, 2nd, and a prospect like Rakell would work.

 

[Paul4587]

I would think Myers would be a part of any rebuild they have. He's only 24 after all...

I've turned into a Myers fanboy since the rumors came up. But don't see this happening.

Would that have made you want to trade Fowler last year if we were going into a rebuild? He is still young and has had a better 1 year then Fowler had prior to this year.

 

[ShadowDuck]

If I was Buffalo, I wouldn't be trading Myers at all, but just an idea since his name was in the rumor mill at the TD.

 

[Kalv]

We have a huge logjam on our blueline and i would also think that Myers is in Sabres plans for the future. I just can`t see it happening with Myers, but Erhoff might be available at some point, imo.

PS
Here`s an and of the last thread if someone will need it in the future to track conversations or smth: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1617049&page=20

Not really a fan of Myers. He's only really starting to turn it around this season after his debut, I'd be terrified of him regressing again to how he has been for a chunk of his NHL career to date.

But I guess his physical package coupled with the potential does make it tempting to take a bit of a risk.

 

[snarktacular]

To me Myers is J Bo. A good player, but those tools means he'll be overvalued until it's too late. He would cost too much to pry out of Buffalo, and won't be worth the cost.

 

[TheJoeMan]

I'm sorry, is Tyler Myers a Ducks prospect all of a sudden?

 

[Professor John Frink]

I'm sorry, is Tyler Myers a Ducks prospect all of a sudden?

Or even a prospect for that matter....

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The discussion is Rakell plus picks for Myers. Rakell was a prospect last I heard. Relax.

That's my fault, thought I posted the Myers proposal in the proposals / offers thread. Just realized this morning it was in the prospect thread. Mods feel free to move it over there.

We might as well keep it here because this thread won't have any posts left.

OK, just to validate this thread ...I'm glad Gibson got his first start out of the way against a very lethargic VAN team. He looked shaky at times. But the game is over and a W. Next game, he can feel more comfortable.

 

[93Ducks]

Faragher Utah bound next season I imagine? Also thought he would have to sign a 2 year ELC rather than a 1 year deal, but I guess he turns 24 before next season.

Agreed. Can't think of a better scenario to getting your first game out of the way.

You answered your own question. Because of his age he could only sign a one-year deal I believe. And yes he's most likely headed to Utah or whomever is out ECHL affiliate next season.

Yeah, I dunno much about ELC's and was confused whether the year limit was in regards to what age a player signs the contract or when he'd actually start playing for a team. That's settled now.

I doubt Gibson and Bobkov will be splitting time in Norfolk and i doubt Gibson will be a backup in Anaheim, so somethings brewing, imo

Why wouldn't Gibson split time with Bobkov next season in the AHL(assuming Bobkov is the backup)?

 

[snarktacular]

I would expect it's Gibson and the new guy in Norfolk. Bobkov is probably traded or maybe not even qualified.

Shh! That kind of talk will get your head bitten off.

 

[Tecumseh]

He's definitely expendable with the Faragher signing. Granted that I know nothing (outside of where he went to school) about him. I'm just assuming that he was signed to back up Gibson in Norfolk next year

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Theodore's team now down 0-3 to Kelowna, outscored 17-9. Shea is 0g5a in 8 games, +2.

 

[Static]

Would he be allowed to participate in the AHL for the duration of the year? I've forgotten the CHL rules regarding that, for some reason I thought there was precedent for it, and I'm unaware of any drop dead date from the AHL in regards to being on the roster and being able to participate in the playoffs.

Would be a long season for the kid though.
