Rumors about Myers on the move, even though I don't want him to leave. What I believe can possibly happen. Two scenarios.

Sabres-Avalanche

To COL: Tyler Myers, Andrej Meszaros (possible Salary Retain)
To BUF: Ryan O'Reilly, Ryan Wilson, Andrew Agozzino, Joey Hishon


Sabres-Red Wings

To DET: Tyler Myers
To BUF: Tatar or Mantha or Larkin and a 2015 1st

IMO DET will not give up that much and Murray will want more from COL. I do like your trades. When you are putting together a trade for Stafford, Stewart, Enroth etc. think about adding from the Sabres and getting a better prospect instead of trading for two prospects. The Sabres have at least 10 bottom 9 prospects, they need top 3 prospects. For example Brian Flynn & Marcus Foligno to a team that needs a LW and help on the PK for one good prospect. I would like to see what you could construct.

Well it's not like Murray would be asking for all three of those players, but that's what I believe the only way the trade with DET will happen if we either get Tatar, Mantha or Larkin (one of the three) and a first this year. And for the trade with COL I didn't want to go with too much.

I do not see Detroit sending Mantha or Tatar for Myers. That would be too high for Detroit.

Myers has one of the worst Corsi numbers this season and they like puck possession. He has not produced more than 30 points in a couple years as being a top D on that team. Would it be nice to see him and Dekeyser mature together? Yes, but Holland will not give away the future (Tatar and Mantha or Larkin and a 1st) to make that happen.

Tatar is proven and Mantha is adjusting to the AHL finally. They like Larkin a lot and do not see them giving him away either. He also said he is not into trading 1st round picks either. Holland likes the prospects that they have coming up in the next couple of years, and I do not see them sending a bunch of them for one or two players.

Sorry, I miss read the "or" in the post. I still do not see Detroit doing any of those trades because you would be giving 20+ goals scorers away for a D man that the only thing he adds is a RH shot. Tatar has proven in his two seasons (this one not done yet) that he should be a 20 goal scorer. If Mantha is able to adjust to the AHL, he is projected to be a 20-30 goal scorer and the scouts really like Larkin.

I also see Buffalo wanting more for Myers from Detroit. Buffalo seems to want a lot for their players. Something more along the lines of TatarNyquist
Mantha and LarkinPulkkinenSproulOuellet and a pick for Myers.

Mike and 4327, exactly, Murray wants more, DET will not give it to him. That is why I do not think Myers will be traded this year.
