Myers for Getzlaf?
Per WGR, Anaheim does not want Derek Roy nor Drew Stafford. They want Calder winning future stud Tyler Myers.
A deal may be on the table that would put Getzlaf in a Sabres jersey by tomorrow night.
Ryan Getlzaf is undeniably an elite talent and the first line center the Sabres have yearned for since the departure of Danny Briere. He is big, he hits, he has silky smooth hands and would look pretty damn good in between Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville.
Tyler Myers however has the potential and talent to develop into a top three dman in the league. The presence of an elite dman is arguably the most important component of a cup caliber team (see Chara, Pronger, Lidstrom, etc). An elite dman can set the pace and tone of any game.
“Getzlaf is 26 years old and won a Stanley Cup. He’s won a Gold Medal in the Olympics for Team Canada. For the past four seasons he has more points than games played. He has 318 points in 291 games. He is Anaheim’s captain. He’s 6’4 and goes 220.
You can argue he’s Anaheim’s best player so you really think Roy and Stafford get this trade done?
Here’s the asking price as of now, it’s Tyler Myers. If Darcy parts with his prized defenseman Getzlaf can be in a Sabres uniform by tomorrow against the Leafs. The Ducks are saying we’ll give you our best player if you give us yours. Now you decide if that’s a trade you’d make.”
-Paul Hamilton
So, if you’re GM Darcy Regier, do you pull the trigger on this momentous trade?

i am all for it…proven #1 center for a "potential" norris trophy player…no question getzlaf over myers even throw in stafford…clear some cap space…we have a strong core of dmen..mcnabb made me forget all about myers. myers doesnt score enough goals or make smart defensive plays in his end.

Can’t blame them for trying.
January 12, 2012 - 10:19 PM
No way!!! Roy and Stafford for Getzlaf! Meyers should stay!
January 12, 2012 - 10:18 PM
Great idea. I only wish it were true. We are fine on defense and we have scored 7 goals in our last 10 games. I think we need some scoring.
January 12, 2012 - 10:08 PM
Unless we somehow can take Fowler from them I'd rather not.
January 12, 2012 - 10:08 PM
I have no problem with that trade. Might as well pay someone to score
As oppose to a young player who is still learning. Let Anaheim deal with
His growing pains and give aways

Hell the fuck no excuse my French

No way — trade Roy or Stafford and a second/third round pick.
January 12, 2012 - 9:01 PM
HE is only going to lose his trade value being stuck here in buffalo i suggest go get bobby ryan or getzlaf … that would launch are offense … Rangers got there number one center richards and there the best team right now … so one man can change it …
January 12, 2012 - 8:59 PM
YESSSSS he has already been benched he doesnt have the pairing in buffalo to be an elite top defense in the league on top of it we have
D Pysyk, Mark D Brennan, T.J. we are fine … we also got mcnabb on top of ehroff and regehr
January 12, 2012 - 8:58 PM
meyers is only gonna walk away when his contract up anyways. trade him and get something while you can for him!
January 12, 2012 - 8:57 PM
not Myers, maybe Jochen Hecht or Brad Boyes
January 12, 2012 - 8:56 PM
No way!
January 12, 2012 - 8:49 PM
Absolutely NOT!
January 12, 2012 - 8:44 PM

January 12, 2012 - 8:42 PM
