Do you expect Myers to regress again once Tallinder is moved/retires?
Won't matter....myers will be traded first to Colorado for ROR !!!!!!

Is that a possibility? Yes. A probability? Far from it.
In the post-game interviews that I've seen, Myers has come across as a thoughtful, engaged young player who likes to focus on a game's negatives/areas to improve upon rather than patting himself and the team on the back for their successes.
Based on his press conference comments about properly developing players, I think Murray will have a positive impact on Myers' game. I also think that Nolan's coaching has really given Myers a chance to expand his physical game. While his increased physicality opens him up to more criticism (see: 3 game suspension) I believe it's a net benefit for the team in the long run.

I wonder if he attempts to go for Kane next year. I highly doubt Kane leaves Chicago until he's 30 though. Resigns with Chicago then when hes been thru the ringer facing a 3rd contract already at 8 mil per year. Hawks sell him high to us and we lose out by giving them young assets to help them continue their multiple cup run.

IF he's still worth the money, how do we lose out? Is everything always looked at negatively?

Chicago has made it very clear that they want to keep Patrick Kane a Blackhawk until he retires. It's doubtful that Kane comes to Buffalo for anything less than an overpayment. Tim Murray seems like he's too smart to overpay unless it's a piece that puts the team over the top. With the team as it is currently, it seems unlikely that Kane comes to Buffalo any time soon.

I agree with Grigo going to junior...... He should have been rewarded with a
Start tonight. Especially with Stafford out.

True. I initially misread Poe's post asking whether Murray would trade for Kane, an option I think is firmly off the table. UFA is another story.

I don't see him making any moves until he talks to all the players and does a thorough evaluation of the organization.

Is it stretching it to say we can get more?
With GMGM, you never know...
It's too bad they already threw Forsberg away.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic because that was horrible for us.

Not sarcastic but pretty much asking for more for us. But also not sure of the goalie market making Miller's value fair or whatever.
If we did end up sending Ryan and Mikhail there I want more than Neckbeard Holtby and their middle of the 1st round pick though.

Why would we do that? We already have that guy in Foligno and Grigorenko is a better prospect.

Not really.
I don't see there being a market for either guy right now and I could see Murray taking the best deal he can get for Miller and just moving Grigorenko because he's worried that once his ELC is toast after 2014-15 he's gone to the KHL.
Plus, I like Holtby and his athleticism. Kolzig has messed him up, so maybe Corsi can fix him and he can be what many hoped Hackett would be.
And I love me some Holtby-isms!
I think playing for his hometown is probably third on Patrick Kane's list, behind playing for a top contender and maximizing his contract value. If Chicago is willing to pay market value to keep him, I doubt he'll be inclined to leave.
