Myers on trade block already?

[DetDannyWilliams]

“Tyler Myers (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nhl/2552/tyler-myers) for the Buffalo Sabres — his name is out there now. The Sabres are downplaying it, but reality sucks sometimes. And the reality for the Sabres is, they’re going to be real bad this year, so why not improve your chances in the draft? Detroit believed to be interested, they’ve had talks about a trade. And perhaps Anaheim as well.”
That was NHL insider Darren Dreger on TSN’s most recent Insider Trading segment (video (http://www.tsn.ca/video/insider-trading-coach-s-challenge-on-the-way-1.103273)).

Why in the world would they do that?

He's turning the corner and he has a great contract..

[JATMtheJATM]

Because they can get a bounty for him if they move him. Mantha is price from Detroit.

shaw speared myers in the sack last night. myers got PISSED and suckered shaw. deserved reaction, id say.

myers seems to be showing more emotion on the ice. thats a good thing. hes starting to get angry. thats part of what makes chara so good.

Well he can learn to be angry like Chara. He just better not learn to put his tail between his legs and run away like a pussy when someone gets angry back like Chara.

I have to question one's hockey intelligence when they use Myers and Chara in the same paragraph.

[sukie]

Myers and Chara are both Tall fellows. There.

[JATMtheJATM]

question away. i mentioned one attribute that makes chara good that myers is developing. if that makes you want to play the hockey elitist card, have at it.

[JATMtheJATM]

Allow me to play connect the dots. I work in the hotel across from the arena here on grand rapids. All visiting ahl teams stay here. Tonight, I saw a team issued sabres duffle bag in the lobby. I know the sabres wanted Mantha... Hee in grand rapids.... Who knows. But I'm assuming it was a scout.

[don137]

I thought Mantha was hurt. Is he back from injury? If not sounds like they may be scouting someone else.

[JATMtheJATM]

he was hurt, but i had heard he was going to be back soon. i know mantha was the asking price. they could be looking at additional pieces. as it is, i couldnt read the tag on the bag, so i couldnt see for sure who it was. but since it was a team issued bag, i had to assume it was a scout.

[Downinfloflo]

Myers was brutal in that Panthers game, He is still making the same mistakes he made 3 years ago.

What in the world was Darcy thinking throwing all that money at him for no reason what so ever.

Buffalo over values Myers, His stock has dropped and it keeps dropping the more he plays. (DelZotto)

That's why he's still a Sabre.

GM's and coaches watch the games too.

Said the guy that just posted that he wont' be traded because of his sweet contract.

[JATMtheJATM]

weird. because teams seems to be trying to trade for him.

huh. thats a head scratcher.

[Downinfloflo]

Woooooosh!!!!! :lol:

[Downinfloflo]

So.....And that proves what? If any of the offers were good, Myers would have been gone long time ago.

You said Miller would fetch the moon...Lolz!!!

He's an average D-Man who has declined since his 1st NHL season, Just like DelZotto.

The only thing Myers is above average in is height.

The only thing Myers is above average in is height.Miller did get the moon, exactly what I thought they'd get. Two roster players, a first, and a high prospect. Plus the conditional first which they didn't qualify for. Then they flipped halak for a starting goalie.

Rumor is the red wings don't wanna part with their first and Mantha. Understandable, I'd say. Mantha by himself though would be a winner.

Plus, with Myers history of slow starts, this year looks alot better then the past few. Hes hardly a problem for the sabres right now.

[JATMtheJATM]

I just spoke to Mantha. He lives in the building I work at. It wasn't about hockey. But too cool!

[JATMtheJATM]

ok, so, theres a rumor floating around that murray called detroit and lowered the asking price, and holland still rejected.

from what it sounds like, the deal was kindl and larkin for myers. its suspected that there was more coming from detroit, but larkin (2014 first rounder) was a main piece. larkin projects to be a first line center with leadership qualities. why holland balked at the trade is holland builds his team from the middle, and couldnt part with their top center prospect. detroit fans are livid, if this is indeed true, many calling for holland to be fired. those that have heard about this rumor, which i guess came from dreger.

Larkin is a decent prospect.. Good at a lot of things but not elite at anything.. Could be a 2nd line Centre and if he played on a good/great team he could be a very effective 3rd line Centre..

[JATMtheJATM]

he projects as a 1st or 2nd line C. but more likely second.

[JATMtheJATM]

EKLUND ALERT!

the sabres are in talks with dallas in a nichushkin for myers deal.

dont believe it for a second, but still thought it warranted a mention, if for nothing else a laugh/=.

[coastal]

Why on earth would Dallas do that?

[JATMtheJATM]

if by some miracle it did, i wouldnt complain.

[coastal]

Neither would I... quite the opposite.

[JATMtheJATM]

Neither would I... quite the opposite.

for the record, im still high on myers. but i also believe moving him for the right parts helps the team succeed in the long run.

[coastal]

Yeah there has to be a foundational piece that we recieve in return.

If not... TM won't move him.

thats why murray wanted mantha so badly.

If no one ponied up for him last year, what's going to change this year?

Myers isn't going anywhere IMO.

i dont know about that. on the right team, i think myers could blossom into the franchise D-man everything thought he would be. i think GMs know that possibility exists too.

[Ginger Vitis]

I was pissed at Darcy for passing on Nichushkin for Risto.. Time will tell who the better player will be.. So many rumours regarding Myers.. Myers to the Oilers for Nail Yakupov.. Myers to the Mighty Ducks for Nick Ritchie and Richard Rakell

[DetDannyWilliams]

Forget Mike Babcock speculation: Focus on Tyler Myers


Clearly, Holland is not a doofus. His team is first in the Eastern Conference and second overall in the NHL today and this is not a smoke-and-mirrors thing. When healthy and when they get decent goaltending, the Red Wings are a legitimate contender. And they also have a well-stocked pipeline of prospects, both on their American League team and in the system.
Which brings us to a whole other area of speculation when it comes to the Red Wings. There’s little secret they would like to add a defenseman and the two names that keep coming up are Tyler Myers (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?6594)of the Buffalo Sabres and Mike Green (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?4600) of the Washington Capitals. The speculation is that the prospect of getting Myers, something that has been percolating all season and is still very much alive, is the top priority. If that fails, the Red Wings figure they can pick Green up as a relatively inexpensive rental player.
And this is where things get interesting. I’m told the asking price from the Sabres for Myers is prospectDylan Larkin (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?10815), a roster player along the lines of a Riley Sheahan (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?7932) or Tomas Jurco (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?8998), and a first-round pick.

Right now, he's worth a large return with his game returning. At the same time, why trade him?

[doug45]

Why in the world would they do that?

He's turning the corner and he has a great contract..

He must be getting very good that is when this group gets rid of players for Prospects and lottery draft picks that almost NEVER work out. They say they are rebuilding but if you keep getting rid of people all the time nothing will ever come together. They have no first class goalie now after last years trade and what did we get for that, more draft picks which in hockey are not like football. In this sport they are a million to one shot of working out. Once in a great while one will but almost never. NO MORE TRADES unless you can get a PROVEN STAR player in return.

[doug45]

Yes if he is that good why get rid of him ??????

[JATMtheJATM]

Yes if he is that good why get rid of him ??????

as far as i can tell, hes not being shopped. his name is out there due to teams wanting him, and murray listening to offers. if a team, like the wings, blows murrays socks off with an offer, he would take it.

but seeing how myers game has turned around, i dont see a trade happening. maybe it will, but im not holding my breath.

I guess if someone has another way of thinking the insults come out, how adult!! Has that what this site has come to?!

Talks intensified between Ducks and Sabres on Tyler Myers. Other teams have interest in Myers. Can he be traded ? Its a real possibility.

[coastal]

Cam Fowler a reported return from Ducks should they trade for Myers.

interesting... perhaps a left v right side deficit the Ducks are trying to fix?

not sure of the "metrics" on swapping these players.
