Sujet: the year of our lord Stanley 2024
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>I think McCabe would be my top target as well
Our forwards are in good shape for the most part
Adams seems like he wants to let the Power-Jokiharju pair stay together &amp; see how it goes
LD3 seems to be our biggest weakness
And i think I’d let the goalies play out

If i were making a wish list (within reason) for this season :
1- McCabe, for obvious reasons
2- Meier, power forward for the playoffs would help
3- Barbashev, good 2way game could fit nicely
4- Foligno, but we might have a better shot in the offseason</div></div>

This season very much feels like when the Bills broke the playoff drought. We are ahead of schedule but we don't want to give up too many assets and derail from the plan. I like that list a lot, and I think Foligno would be such a great addition as well. Just like McCabe, knows the team/city and is a leader and something they are missing. I see a lot of Minnesota fans saying the GM won't give him up, but he also makes over $3m and is getting older. Him and McCabe deserve to be part of the success of the team for all the losing they dealt with when here.

Sujet: trade flood gates open
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zvirbuly</b></div><div>but Pittsburgh also gets better and is in our conference :D better to trade somewhere else</div></div>

I understand what you're saying, but it seems like most are underwhelmed with Bryson and trading him to Pittsburgh doesn't necessarily make him that much better. He is already playing in a system that is friendly to his skillset and not exactly thriving. I don't think their team is better than ours and I think adding a defensive-defenseman like Dumoulin makes us better where as a Bryson move to Pittsburgh keeps them about the same.

I could certainly be wrong, and it is tough to trade with someone you are directly competing with, but I just think we have a flat-out better team so I don't fully see it as being the difference between the teams over the stretch run. I do see your point, though.

Sujet: the buffalo sabres do not want to reunite with tyler myers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rktkt66</b></div><div>The Tampa trade seems very plausible and the kind of low-profile move the Sabres may resort to.....

However, as much as I'm 100% in the camp that Bryson needs to be dealt because his contributions don't make up for his liabilities, Granato seems to like him and probably won't endorse dumping him for a draft pick. Similarly, Lyubushkin has not been great and struggles with the speed the Sabres want to play with but he's still a better skater than Schenn. I also have a feeling the Sabres won't want to send the message of abandoning free agent signings just a year into the term, as silly as that may seem.</div></div>

All good points and I agree. I don't see either of the moving really, but the main point was to Vancouver fans that this franchise does not want Tyler Myers back and please stop sending him to us. I've seen some where they eat part of his deal and we send a 7th, or we send Middelstadt and two seconds for him with no retention. Either way, it enraged me into making an ACGM.
