OMG! How many days?
-
From an NHL perspective, Kane and Bogosian clearly beats Stafford and Myers, the question is, did we give up too much potential to make that upgrade? I think we may have.
That said, Kane Reinhart Ennis might be fun to watch.
Biggest trade since Mogilny, maybe even since Turgeon/Lafontaine.
The culture change from Regier is complete.
GMTM just put his stamp on the team. Ennis is the only player of any significance left that you'll call Darcy's
-
Isn't Bogosian from around the western New York area?
And, for those touting the need to acquire players from the top of the draft, we just acquired two top four picks.
-
Kasdorf a college goalie. very good numbers a couple years back, missed most of last season, mediocre numbers this year.
-
The question is "is Lemieux a Kane in the making, on and off the ice?"
-
Josh Morrisey would be a nice addition, as would one of the young Jet goalies.
-
Bogosian has similar potential to Myers.
Nastier, but can't carry the puck like myers can.
Personally, I prefer Myers, but Bogosian does fill his role now and moving forward.
And if this is true, it confirms what Potato and others have said, Murray doesn't like Myers as much as some of us do.
-
on the Dreger front, There needs to be something significant coming back form Jets.
Burmistrov or a Jets first to make it more palatable.
My high-level thought: We're one of the worst teams in the history of hockey. Yet, people are still wanting to cling to our current guys? Shake this ###### up!
this.
And , I've got work to do.
-
someone on hockeybuzz throwing this around, i think we overpay if this happens. armia + lemieux is nuts.
Deals that large almost never happen.
That said, Bogosian fills Myers spot in the lineup.
After that, it's essentially Kane and a mid-first for four late firsts/early seconds
-
Looking at Winnipeg's roster I can't see why Myers would be on their must have list, unless they have plans to flip RHDs Byfuglien or Bogosian.
-
While the content described is incredibly stupid, I doubt that this is why Tyler Seguin is not a Boston Bruin.
The lack of character it illustrates is certainly a part of why. Relevant stuff starts around 5-minute mark.

I heard the same thing about Paille while he was in Buffalo, he was one of those kids who continued with hockey because he was talented as a kid with it, but his heart want always into it and he continued just because it was expected of him. There are many in the league who go through this.
I have wondered if Hodgson is going through this. He's been Canada's golden boy his entire hockey life, with the textbook bad hockey dad.
I'm not sure if its been discussed previously and I apologize if it has but apparently a Dallas radio show had seguin and Benn on yesterday and they were asked about the Sedins. Showing their maturity both waxed poetic about the twins rooming together on the road and they joked about the top bunk bottom bunk sleeping arrangement. They then got into some homophobic suggestions of what might be going on between the brothers. You would think the league would have a better handle on this stuff since they espouse an anti bullying stance for public consumption and for the little kids etc. that follow the league and look up to their star players. Vancouver sports talk 1040 went on about it today interviewing people in the game from around the league who all disagreed with the content of the discussion and the lack of good sense by the Dallas players.
This is why Tyler Seguin is not a Boston Bruin

The second period may have been our best of the year.
-
Chevy would ask for Myers, Foligno, probably Bailey or Baptiste and a first for this deal
That's a gross overpayment in my view.
Myers for Kane is probably a fair deal on its own, but not one I would do.
I would I think the first is a given, Grigorenko or Armia the likely second element, the question is what we are willing to give up as the actual player.
-
I guess I should have included Myers in my list of young NHLers.
If Murray trades Myers-plus for Kane I will definitely have a hard time choking that down.
But I agree with D4rk on the substance of the quote.
-
If that's the price for him and his medical bills I'll pass
I think if Murray wants him, he will pay that price.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the Fasching deal, but I think Murray has no problem getting aggressive for a guy he wants.
It might not be this one, but I fully expect him to make a trade soon that Darcy never would and one that we might have trouble swallowing.
Yeh me too, there are other guys out there with as much talent but better teamates worth that list. dont need another Marshawn Lynch
Except they aren't available right now. We wanted an aggressive GM and I think we are going to see one in action.
-
On the Kane front, the price according to Winnipeg reporters is a first, a good prospect and a younger NHL player.
So some combination of
the NYI, or STL first
a non-roster prospect not named Reinhart
And Neuvirth, Enroth, Ennis, Hodgson, Foligno, or Deslauriers
I'm starting to think we are going to be able make this deal.
-
I don't mean he can't play, I just mean he never would have got the chance.Again, I don't understand the argument that he would not also be in the top four on other teams. He's well within the scoring range and his numbers reflect that if anything he'd be even more solid in a top four role on a team that isn't the Sabres.
He's almost definitely a top four defenseman on a team that actually has an offense.
It's because NHL coaches are conservative and NHL GMs are cautious.
The coach would be scared of his rawness and his potential for big mistakes and the GM would want to save a year on his contact and want him to pay his dues.
-
Zads is top four in Buffalo and would not be in the league in most organizations.
So far, I don't get the sense being rushed has hurt him, but I do expect a lot of ups and downs in the next few years.
I think it is almost guaranteed that the fan base will turn on him at some point.

I've always thought (and posted here) that I think Myers is a good own-zone defender due to his reach and skating ability. And, he is a very good penalty killer. What I take offense with is the assertion that he is a "two-way" or "puck moving" defender. He just isn't that great with the puck on his stick, especially relative to the other 24+ minute per game d-men around the league. And, he is brutal on the power play... Risto and Zadorov have more power play points than Myers in far fewer PP minutes.
I think the days of the "stay at home" d-men are fleeting. In today's game the better teams are full of two-way defensemen who are offensively skilled. That's where I think Buffalo needs to be. That's why I'd trade Myers for a guy like Cam Fowler. We'd give up a little defense in favor of more offense and I think it'd be a net gain.
A puck mover is more than a guy who works the offensive blueline.
Right now, I think Myers is very good at retrieving the puck in his zone and skating it out of danger. He also makes a solid first pass; the turnovers that plagued him so much two or three years ago still happen, but not nearly as much as they used to, and not that often if you consider how frequently he has the puck in comparison to the other blue liners on this team.
He doesn't do it nearly as often as he used to, but he can lead a rush and join a rush better than 2/3rds of the dmen in this league.
Where he falls down offensively is he hasn't shown great ability to finish in those situations, or make a nice pass to someone who can. And he is a mediocre point man.
Stay-at-home guys are like Weber and Gorges and Regehr. I think Myers offers so much more than guys like that.
-
Deslauriers is started to remind me of Brad May in the role he plays on and off the ice.
I can see him having that kind of career and relationship with the fans.
-
Are you joking, or just deliberately misleading? Detroit took 2 forwards in the 1st round during the SEVENTEEN-YEAR Darcy period, and both (Sheahan and Mantha) are better than Stafford.
No. They are expected to be better than Stafford.
One has played at similar level to what Stafford did in his first two seasons.
The other has never played an NHL game.
Interestingly enough, Sheahan was Darcy's target the year we took Pysyk. Detroit swooped in and picked him just in front of us.

Opinions about Myers are all over the map. Some folks see him as the next superstar. Some see him as a complete liability. And, all sorts of opinions in between. Honestly, I've never seen a player who polarizes our fan base as much as Myers does.
There has been nobody who sticks out so much physically and has been so varied in his game over so long a period of time.
Except for quarterbacking the power play, at some time in his career he has shown me every skill — offensively and defensively — an elite defence man should have.
The trouble is he has never shown me all those skills at the same time, and he has also gone through some maddening bouts of bad decisions, soft-play, turnovers and awkwardness that make me wonder if I'd imagined what I saw before.
We've all seen this stuff and some elements of it stick with some of us and others elements with others.
And it means we all seem to watch him and judge him through very different expectations and filters.
Most of us made a call on who we think he is a long time ago, but the truth is he's been a different player virtually every season of his career.

Sounds like I may be the only one who prefers the current darks to the 1970s version.
Trade: Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, + Low 1st for Kane, Bogosian, and Kasdorf

It was just a few days ago I posted Murray will trade guys that we wanted to keep in a package that we think is an overpayment to get guys he wants. This is who our GM is, people. Zero Given. get used to it.
