If no other RD options make sense, I think this is fine for Detroit to gamble on Myers returning to form.

I don't hate it. Myers only has a year left on his contract. He might be Plan G. Stevie does like BIG Defensemen. Probably better than overpaying Severson or Dumba in UFA and giving them too much AAV and term. We have plenty of cap space and can take his full 6 mil.

I'll take Myers since he'll be pretty much free at that point

I can't see the Jets trading Salomonsson for Garland, they shouldn't anyway, maybe they'd deal something else but probably not their best RHD prospect.

Not much of interest for the Sabres, I think they like jost fine.

Upon further review, Buffalo would not trade Bryson for Rathbone and would absolutely pass on Jost for Studnicka.
The fourth does nothing!

He got a 2nd for 2 years of Staal at $6. Wonder if he would be able to get a pick to take on Myers for a year.

At the time Staal was 33 years old and had 1 year left on his contract. IIRC he was making 5.85 mil AAV. Rangers traded a 2nd to Detroit to take him. Hmmm pretty similar.

But the Rangers were in Cap bind at the time. This was before they found out about Hank Lundqvist's heart issues.
