Thank you all for your input.
It is refreshing that it is all constructive void of insults.

Canucks probably decline. They are thin at RHD and Myers has been good since Boudreau took over

Big no thanks from Vancouver

Van and Buf decline the second one, and a 2nd is an overpay for a redundant player in Barrie to the likes of Dahlin, Power, and to some extent Joki.
You are both most likely correct.
I have seen many trades by VAN trading Myers for even less.
But this particular one was posted by

Many Sabre fans would not want to make this trade, but in this line up Tyler would be the Sabres best RHD.

Pass on both but thanks for trying. LA has plethora of RHD. Walker or Roy will have to be traded. I'd target one of those guys

Buffalo pass both trades.
I know most Sabre fans really dislike Myers, he along with Subban and Barrie would be huge upgrade over our current RHD.
Considering, only six teams have given up more goals and one team has more shots against, the defense needs huge improvement.
I know everyone hates Subban (James Norris Trophy), Myers (Calder Memorial Trophy) and Barrie (led all defensemen with 45 pts last year) they are solid second pairing defensemen which would give great depth to the team.

Oilers won’t send Barrie to Buffalo. Haha will credit you for showing some positive value in the trade which is rather unique on this site but don’t see it happening. IMO he has value, I just do not know how much, would Buffalo's 2023 2nd be closer?

trade for Barrie and then scratch him, why not just avoid that trade? LOL it does look strange, it would be nice if Buffalo's 7th D-man led the NHL in scoring just last year?

I wouldn't be opposed if they got a return like that. Turn around and acquire someone like Braun to fill out the rest of the season on the RHS. Helps the cap situation going forward as well. Have a little more cap room this season and still have the 1st rounder to acquire another LD and/or G. I am one of the few ACGM who would like to have Barrie on the Sabres, in this line up he is the 7th D-man giving the team depth and flexibility.

I’ll be honest.... I hate Phil Kessel waaaay more than the Subban signing LOL, OK fine, but he has two rings, and can still put up points, can you imagine the RW depth with him, Tage, Alex and Jack?
I think the team needs a GK, but the trades (Myers and Barrie), rookies (Power and Quinn), free agents (Subban and Kessel) and improved play from Krebs, Cozens, Asplund could make this a 90 point team.
I could take away the Myers trade, plug in Laaksonen as the bottom pairing RHD, not sign Kessel and keep Okposo for his locker room influence.
If they could sign Kuemper or Campbell to play GK, it would be a very good team.
Bottom line, thank you for your comments.
Great to get actual positive feed back.
