“Okay, Vancouver. It was reported this week. Tyler Myers, he’s considering a trade offer with Detroit. Myers has a no move, a no trade clause. I’m very sympathetic to Myers and his family situation. As we speak tonight, I consider that provide continues to be on the table. I feel everybody hoped there could be a call by Monday. I just don’t know where it stands right away.
I also don’t consider, as we do that, that Vancouver has a firm other offer for Myers. So I feel they’re considering, I feel they’re talking to groups, but I don’t get the sense there’s anything firm at this cut-off date. So we’ll see by Monday.
NHL Rumors: A lot of Change Heading Vancouver’s Way
Pettersson, I’ve looked around. I feel it’s quiet around him right away, Ron, however the one thing I actually have heard about Patterson is that the Canucks usually are not excited about retaining on him. I feel they’ve been asked, and I’ve heard that that just isn’t what they’re willing to do. I’ve heard it’s pretty quiet around him as of tonight, Famous last words.”

“I desired to mention Alex Tuch. Buffalo just isn’t a seller. They’re going for it. Again, I could make myself look really bad here, however the betting on Tuch is that he stays in Buffalo next week, whether there’s an extension or not.
Like even in the event that they don’t sign him, and I’d suspect at this cut-off date they’re not, I feel he stays. And don’t forget that (Sabres GM) Jarmo Kekalainen has been on this position before. When Columbus won their first ever playoff series between Tampa, that they had some UFAs and Jarmo was ready where he just said, ‘Know what? Yeah, Columbus has never won a series. We’re going for it. And if we lose guys, we lose guys.’

And that’s what they did. And so he understands this. He knows the way to handle it, and I feel that’s the best way he’ll do it in Buffalo. In order I record this pod late Thursday nightFriday morning, my bet Kyle is, he stays, and even when he doesn’t have an extension, which he probably won’t by next week. Again, things can change, but that’s my call right away.”
