Myers looks great tonight against the sharks. Unfortunately, it would probably cost us too much.While it is probably not likely, I would love to see the Wild go after Myers. I think he would be awesome paired with Suter or Brodin. Not sure if we have what other teams could offer but 6'8 defensemen that can skate, shoot, and are right handed don't come around often. I know he has struggled the last two years but hes only 24 and has had some great years. And, no, he is nothing like Barker so I am not worried about his first two years being aberrations.
If we are going to go after a goalie, I'd rather go for Brodeur, simply for the cost and length. Halak will cost more and if we re-sign him and Kuemper, we will have three goalies making a few million (assuming Backstrom is not a part of the trade). I think Kuemper has earned the chance to be the go-to guy this year. EDIT: did not see Russo tweets.
So that 2014 3rd round pick the Blues are sending to Buffalo will turn into a 1st rounder if the Miller signs an extension or the Blues reach the conference final.
Russo seems pretty certain that Halak isn't coming here. So who are these other goalies that he thinks the Wild are interested in? More fuel for Brodeur? It'd still be a good short-term, cheap solution to finish the season with Kuemps. Then figure out the mess in net over the summer.
Definitely a win for Buffalo.
Myers is terrible and at a brutal contract. Wouldn't want that guy anywhere near the top 4.

He's soft, awkward, and just overall not very good. Not an upgrade over Spurgeon or Scandella.
I don't watch him all the time but he looked great tonight against the sharks. Jumping into the play on a really nice assist to Moulson and using his reach to break up plays.
