    Brycen Martin has some potential as well.
    The same Myers that has had several threads about trading him and that he is garbage, is now in the plethora of young D talent? Don't get me wrong, I like him but the general feeling I get from Sabres' fans is that they think he is terrible.

      Not me.
      Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

        Some people use contract as a reason to hate someone. I have been guilty of it in the past.

        Myers is decent, a very good skater and can be pretty good with the puck. Everyone expects him to be Chara and he is not. Myers is a good defenseman, at minimum a 3/4 pairing.

          I like him. He is still young and if he doesn't end up in Detroit, should be a good D for years.

          I had read an article about how Detroit was very interested in Myers and argued that now is the time to give up some young assets while Datsyk and Zetterberg can still play. So If Detroit gives up a couple of top prospects, I think Murray would trade him.

The reality is Ritchie and MCDavid did not work together well at the WJC because Ritchie was a lazy slug who didn't hit anyone and didn't work hard and it looked like he expected Mcdavid to do all the work and get him the puck.. Ritchie has the size and skill to be really good but is inconsistent and takes dumb penalties

                Even then, no. He had an up and down rookie AHL season, but since then, he's really rapidly Improved. Hes really been dynamic for Rochester this season. When or if that translates to the NHL game remains to be seen, but there's no reason to believe he's any kind of bust at this point. Just a growing player correctly developing in the AHL. not everyone can be girgensens, who is more the exception with his rapid growth.

                  I wasn't in that camp. Myers is having a strong year defensively, though it's hardly mattered with this team.

                      Thank you sir.

                      But if trading Myers gets the Sabres a bunch of really good youg kids, you have to make that trade. Sounds like the ducks are getting close to pulling that trigger.

                        Yeah I would probably prefer Detroits guys. See if you can get Mantha. He is a monster.

                              I had to name drop a little on that,Yeah. But he's slim and hasn't filled out yet. he needs to do that to be a great power wing. That said, I don't think the wings let him go.

                                The wings aren't letting mantua or Larkin go.
