Line by line, lets have fun.

Treating Myers like a god eh? Just like people think Miller's god, you I presume are one of them. It seems like you think Keith is god?
Maybe even Getzlaf?
No, I don't think Keith is god. If you go back and read, you'll see that I admitted Keith would be a slight downgrade as compared to Myers.
Getzlaf? Yeah. He's god as far as this team is concerned. He'd be the best first line center this team has seen since Pat Lafontaine.
Miller? No, he's not god. But I'm a firm believer that without two talented goaltenders on your roster, you put yourself at great risk to ruin all of your players' efforts. Remember Lalime? Remember when Miller went down last year and Enroth filled in? There's the difference between playoffs and no playoffs right there. And this team can be turned into a contender without ditching either Miller or Enroth, so why do it?

How do you know the door wasn't closed on Getzlaf? Honest to god I would never trade an asset like that even if I were in the bottom of the standings and I doubt Ducks GM who is a very smart GM would do something like that. And it was nothing but a rumor about Getzlaf for Myers. Just like it was a rumor that Darcy would try and trade up to draft Patrick Kane. Can't put all your thought into rumors.
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS DEFINITIVELY POSSIBLE! What I'm saying is that if it were, you'd be CRAZY NOT TO DO IT! That's all. It's an opinion based off of a rumor.
Now you're telling me the Ducks GM would be crazy to get rid of Getzlaf for Myers. So which way do you lean? Would you get rid of Myers for Getzlaf if you could replace Myers with a solid defenseman, or wouldn't you?

Goalie issues won't be solved on hawks behalf by getting the guy backing up the starter it's getting the starter. They won't just trade away one of the best DMen in the league for what did you call it? Potential? Essentially it'd be a 1st and Enroth for Keith because I'm sure we can agree that Roy sucks donkey balls. Only way you get Keith is if Miller goes the other way. Hawks were looking for a center and they traded for one in Brendan Morrison a while back. But they won't trading Keith.
Again, the Roy trade thought process was based off of the rumor that the Hawks wanted him. If they need goaltending help, I'd be hesitant to send them Enroth for reasons previously stated, but I'd probably end up doing it at a trade deadline to make a run at the playoffs and work on replacing goaltending that summer.
And if that doesn't work out, I can just keep Roy and Enroth and use my cap space come summer to go after Suter.
Whatever, none of this matters. My question to you is, if the trade was an option, would you trade Myers for Getzlaf?
