Nice vid, i remember watching Myers in Kelowna and it was funny because when he first got their he never hit anyone and as he grew into his frame he starting knocking guys around, leading the rush and just overall dominating the game and if gugenberger wasn't a complete failure he'd have a Memorial Cup to his resume aswell!
He definately was the steal of the 2008 draft between him and Schenn Myers is easily the better defender that was obvious in Kelowna aparantly not to the leafs though.
@nevertweet015 thanks! Couldn't agree more that he was the steal of the '08 draft. seems like since then a few other teams are taking a chance on guys his size hoping they find the next Tyler Myers. I can't wait to watch him improve every year into a Norris Trophy candidate. It's scary to think how good he'll be at both ends of the ice in his prime
@sabresfan36 I definately think he'll be in the running for the Norris soon it's really not fair that he's an inch shorter than Chara but skates like he's 5"11(thats the reason he's special and from what i've heard the other giants going early now don't have his game changing foot speed), I'd pretty much garantee that everyone who picked a D-man before Myers probably would want a re-do except LA with Doughty and possibly St Louis with Petrangelo.
