Trade: Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, + Low 1st for Kane, Bogosian, and Kasdorf

[Weave]

Only Buffalo would be more excited a player had 11 hits instead of 2 assists

But Kane + Bogosian will almost surely get you more scoring and hitting over the next few years (and beyond, depending on re-signings) than Myers + Armia.  The wild card would be Lemieux, but he's far from a guarantee to be anything significant (see Kassian, Zack.)

never mind the threads got merged and I really hate that

Zach Bogosian teaching Zadorov and Ristolainen how to play tough nasty hockey, I'm okay with that.

It won't hurt Zadorov, but I think he already knows. That's what happens when you're raised by wolves on the tundra.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he was raised middle upper-class in Moscow.

That's just a cover story.

Look Tundra Wolves can work their way up the social ladder too and it's discrimination if people think otherwise.

It's not like they have a choice though.

Normally this would be me, but I really couldn't stand Tyler Myers.

I feel like someone needs to photoshop this together, with a baby Zadorov. 

[dEnnis the Menace]

That's the spirit.

 

Bogo is not here to score.  He is here to prevent the other team form scoring.  Oh, and to hit everybody in sight.

 

The lack of scoring, certainly, is an issue that needs to be addressed.

THis

Well, I thought Bogo looked pretty good last night.  He kinda reinforced where I was on the Bogo-Myers comparison, which is that Myers' ceiling is higher, but Bogo has a pretty high ceiling too -- and at this point, there isn't much daylight between the 2 of them.  Not sure I could convincingly rebut someone claiming that Bogo is better right now.

 

When I thought that GMTM wouldn't trade Myers, I guess I didn't think there would be a defenseman like Bogo coming back.

[LastPommerFan]

thank you.

Pretty much where I'm at on the D portion of the trade as well.

Bogo is better right now.

(Oilers - Jets on right now)

[dudacek]

My opposition to trading Myers was based on the Myers for picks and prospects trades and the gaping hole trading Myers left on our blueline for the next year.

 

Since Murray was able to fill that hole with Bogosian, I am more than OK with trading Myers as a chip to get a better player. It's all about adding to the core.

Myers with an absolute rocket for his first goal as a Jet. One of the best shots of his career.

[Iron Crotch]

Drew Stafford out hurt for the Jets.  Left the game in the third period.

I see I'm not the only one watching this EDM/WPG game.  I watched hoping EDM would get points, but damn if it hasn't been entertaining.
