“Okay, Vancouver. It was reported this week. Tyler Myers, is considering a trade offer with Detroit. Myers has a no-move, no-change-trade clause. I have a lot of sympathy for Myers and his family’s situation. As we speak tonight, I believe that offer is still on the table. I think everyone was hoping for a decision on Monday. I don’t know yet.
I also do not believe, as we do this, that Vancouver has another strong offer for Myers. So I think they’re thinking, I think they’re talking to groups, but I don’t get the sense that there’s anything concrete at this point. So we’ll see on Monday.

“I wanted to say Alex Tuch. Buffalo doesn’t sell. They’re going to want him. Again, I might make myself look bad here, but the bet on Tuch is that he stays in Buffalo next week, whether there’s an extension or not.
Like even if they don’t sign him, and I suspect at this point they don’t, I think he’s staying. And don’t forget that (Sabres GM) Jarmo Kekalainen has been in this position before. When Columbus won their first playoff series against Tampa, they had some UFAs and Jarmo was in a situation where he just said, ‘You know what? Yes, Columbus has never won a series. We are going there. And if we lose boys, we lose boys.’
NHL Rumors: The latest on the Buffalo Sabers and Alex Tuch
And that’s what they did. And so you understand this. He knows how to manage, and I think that’s how he will do in Buffalo. So as I record this pod Thursday night Friday morning, my bet is Kyle says, he’s staying, and even if he doesn’t have an extension, he probably won’t next week. Here too, things can change, but this is my calling right now.”
