Something is going to happen between these two in the next few days ... But I see it being ...
To EDM :
Enroth/Pysyk
and
Leopold/Regehr
(Either combo would work I think)
To BUF :
Gagner
and
Paajarvi
That seems like an overpayment from us IMO. Luke Adam would be a guy that I'd like to see coming back in the trade.

things that interest me from Edmonton paajarvi, or one of marincin,klefbom,musil,and 2013 first rounder. If I were talking to Edmonton those are things I'd be asking about. I do think something is doable between Buffalo and Edmonton
It is very realistic to see Buffalo and Edmonton making a trade. Edmonton needs defensive depth and Buffalo has it.
The target player would be RW Hemsky
Possibly for Sekera with other things thrown in.
There is zero chance buffalo traded for Hemsky....he wouldn't make it through his first practice with the team. Regher would put a Hemsky shaped hole in the boards in the first 5 minutes. He truely hates the guy. He has said in interviews that he sees Hemsky as a dirty player (his oppinion, expressly stated) and that he holds a grudge against him for cheapshotting him when they were both young.
Gagner is crap he got like 8 points in one game which inflated his stats....Sekera is a beast
So if one of your D men have a plus 5 game , his stats are inflated . Saying it so does not make its so . While we are at it why don't we take out his 4 point games as well . Lets remove Goalie,s stats to, when they go on a long shut out streak like when a goalie has 220 minutes of shut out hockey .
He put up those 8 points you can not just take them away . if we are lets add for his time it took him to fully recover from his injury . Fair is fair .

Sure he had an 8 point game. Insanely good game. Let's see him play that well for the other 81 games. Then it means something. While yes, it is an accomplishment that can't be ignored, it doesn't add much to his trade value unless he can do it consistently. To use your goalie example, let's say that Lunquist gets injured, and misses 6 games. Then the backup, Biron, comes in, and gets 4 shutouts. Does that mean Biron should be considered a starting goalie without a thought that he would return to his usual level of play? No. It means that he had a very good run of games, but unless it is demonstrated over a whole season, it doesn't do much to change that he is what he is, a backup veteran goalie.
Also please note I'm not calling Gagner crap. I like him, and I have wanted the sabres to aquire him for a while.

Wait...what?!?! Regehr thinks Hemsky is a dirty player? Regehr tried in some instances to cripple or remove Hemsky from the game (there's a youtube where he locks his stick under Hemsky's helmet and pushes his head down so Hemksy hits the boards with the top of his head) but blames Hemsky for all the rough play between the two? Wow...talk about no regard for reaction to your own dirty plays lol

I had a whole post lined up as I searched Youtube for the clip I was looking for, but this video pretty well sums up the Hemsky-Regehr situation.
I'd think someone was a dirty player if me not crosschecking them illegally from behind ended in me having doo-doo all over my face too.
The Oilers will not trade Nugent-Hopkins, he's able to be the points leader of the league one day. For Myers and Enroth, you can offer Gagne,Teubert and a draft pick but they let a same kind of center go with Roy....

BUF is not trading Myers for anything short of a star player. Suggesting him and RNH in proposals is not very realistic if you follow the 2 teams. Both are untouchables.
The Oilers finally filled the hole of #1C, (10+ years after D.Weight). No way they are going back to Gagner\Horcoff etc as top line C.

Please understand that I am just passing along Regehr's oppinion that he stated very clearly in an interview a few years back, when asked about it specifically. I personally have no oppinion on Hemsky as I don't watch too much of the Oilers...only when they play against buffalo. That post was 100% from a video of him talking about it that somebody posted around the time that we traded for him. I was just pointing out the level of hate that Regehr holds for Hemsky.
Again, I'm not saying Hemsky is or isn't dirty at all, just that Robyn Regehr thinks he is. I appologise if it sounded as if I was.

Being big isnt everything.
Adam had less hits then the RNH last season and just a few more then Gagner.
Adam and Gagner are also the same age and Adam's faceoff % (44%) is much worse then Gagner (48%)..
Luke Adam is as soft as a player can possibly be. I think he's also much more talented than he's getting credit for though. He had like 20 points in his first 25 games last year playing on the Sabres top line. A very poor decision by Lindy Ruff to replace him on that line when Hecht returned to the lineup completely upset Adam's season, and he was never able to get it back, which now has his value in the dumps. But it's not a talent issue, it's just a confidence issue. he'll get it back, and he'll stop being included in all of these trade proposals as a throw in.

You can have Sekera for that package maybe. Not even ****ing close to getting Myers.
I know neither team wants to trade their young stars away, but basing it off of Eklund, albeit 99% not a true rumor, still opens some discussion. What do you think?
Notice: This is a Value of, not a Proposal so it is not being made as a realistic scenario, as each team would be filling a big hole but opening another.
Normally im not one of those guys who posts /thread but this proposal calls for it.
In 2001 the oilers traded Doug Weight (good guy didnt sign the offer sheet but told the team so they could trade him). Since then the team has been waiting for a first line center.
Thats 11 years waiting and it took finishing last overall to get him.
No hole is as hard to fill as a true first line center and because of that /thread
Those 2 aren't worth anything near Myers. You want former Calder winning #1 dman? One of Hall, Eberle or RNH. And ain't no Myers + either, RNH has shown nothing to say he is worth more then Myers.
That looks reasonable. Leopold seems to be the most "replaceable" Sabres defenseman, since he is more of a catch-all than Regehr who has dedicated shutdown minutes and PK duty.
It's funny that everyone jumps to Nugent-Hopkins or Myers right off the bat, when it could very well be Gagner and Leopold.
That is what I've been hearing. Leopold for Gagner with picks or prospects filling out the trade.
This may or may not be related to then trading Ennis or Gagner to Anaheim for Ryan.

No chance in hell they get Sekera for that. I'm only interested in trading him as part of a package for a bona-fide top line guy, and even then only if we have to. Sekera's a ****ing stud, so unless it's Sekera+ for on of Edmonton's big names, then no thanks. (And before anyone jumps on me, I know that Edmonton isn't going to trade those guys, so it's a moot point entirely).
Add that Sekera's contract is a huge steal right now...no. I would not trade Sekera for Gagner...rather wait, give Grigs/Girgs a couple years to develop, and hold on to Sekera.
Myers scored 48 points as a rookie dman and took a non playoff team to a division champion his rookie season. RNH was so good last year he led the Oilers to another #1 pick
Myers > RNH
Oiler fans were talking 2 days ago thinking they could get Myers for MPS and Gagner
things that interest me from Edmonton paajarvi, or one of marincin,klefbom,musil,and 2013 first rounder. If I were talking to Edmonton those are things I'd be asking about. I do think something is doable between Buffalo and Edmonton
Paajarvi could be available although I'd prefer to keep him TBH. That said if we see Hemsky in our long term plans then there are no openings in the top 6 for him.
Marincin and Musil could be available if we get a really solid D in return, Klefbom and our 1st wouldn't be in play unless Myers was coming back, and there's a snowball's chance in hell that that would happen.

Thats my guess
I honestly don't know much about Sekera, I didn't watch as much Sabres games last year as I did the previous 2 seasons. Hartikainen could be trade bait if we favor Paajarvi over him (IMO we do). Adam's size down the middle would be very welcomed. Again having not seen much of them last year, is Adam not very physical? My last real viewings of him was at the WJC's and IIRC he was a big body that took the body back then.

I would think that we'd have to see more coming back our way given the age differential between the two.

Myers is a great young player, no doubt, but he has yet to repeat that kind of a season offensively and has followed up that rookie season with 37 and 23 points (albeit in 55 games which would be good for a 34 point pace over 82 games) respectively. I don't think that his value is as high now as it was 2 years ago. Young forwards like RNH usually see their production continue to trend upwards in their 2nd and 3rd seasons. While I'd be happy to have both guys on my team, IMO you are underselling RNH here.
