The Sabres have traded Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick to the Jets for Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf.

Myers, 25, was the 12th overall pick in the 2008 draft. He has seemingly regressed at the same rate as his team in each of his first five and a half seasons in the NHL. He was asked to do a lot on a bad team and the move to Winnipeg should definitely help him. He is in the third year of a seven year deal and his fantasy value is now much higher than it was when he woke up this morning. This is a defenseman who had 48 points (11G / 37A) in his rookie season.

Miller was promoted to the Rangers second line on Wednesday.

With Derek Stepan sidelined with an upper-body injury, Miller skated between Chris Kreider and Martin St. Louis in Wednesday’s practice. Miller played well while Derick Brassard was out, so the move back into the top-6 should spark Miller’s production. He has four assists in his last five games.

Myers (lower-body) will return to the Sabres lineup on Tuesday.

Myers has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but will get back into the lineup on Tuesday vs. New Jersey. "He's an anchor back there,” head coach Ted Nolan said after practice today. This is a big boost for the Sabres blue line—he will be paired with Josh Gorges.

Myers (undisclosed) is expected to return to the Sabres lineup on Friday.

Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will be back on the blue line tonight vs. the Habs. He was paired with Tyson Strachan in the morning skate which suggests he will play. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 21 games.
