It's mainly me, I do take it personal just because I know if we let him go he turns out to be what we want him to be.

myers has not been dominant these past 4 games but judging from his previous seasons he will be fine this year.

82 gms 11 goals 37 assists 48 points +13 32 pim
80gms 10 goals 27 assists 37 points 0 40 pim
55 gms 8 goals 15 assists 23 points +5 33 pim

im not trying to treat him like a baby but he is a great player and his stats can back that up.

What are Luke Schenn's stats like? He was picked at 5 overall same draft year.

Again Stamkos was the #1 pick, it's completely different. He's is not a dominant player right now, I understand that, but he is also not a liability. His numbers prove that, he needs to step it up but people are over reacting about it

Ok Erik Karlsson was taken 3 spots after Myers. Discuss

You need to stop taking this so personal, for what Myers brings to the table he plays like a midget. He brings no intensity or bang to his game at all. you watch Subban and Doughty and they bring it. Myers is a skinny rail who play scarred and nervous.
- SABRES 89


You know what I think the real problem is, the fact that everyone holds him to what I'm going to call the "Chara Standard." He gets compared to him all the time because of how tall he is, but his game is completely different. He may be tall, but he's not going to throw himself around out there like Chara does. His frame could never support that over a full season.

Everytime he's tried to put on weight, he ends up looking slow and out of sorts. Would I like for him to be a more physical presence on the ice? Sure. Is it really his style of game? No. Those are the realities we all need to come to terms with, IMO.

Im relaxed, listen Myers deserves some criticism no doubt, but to say he's just average or he will never be a number 1 d-man IMO are false based on the facts that are available to us. That's all Im saying

What time is the bowl on?

I'd probably go D at 8 then trade back into the 1st to get Wilson, Nassib or Glennon...in that order...with Wilson and Nassib being a tie

That's even if they pick a QB at 8, knowing the Bills they will go D again. A QB IMO should be picked in the 8th spot, I don't care what that moron Mel Kiper says.

Again, the contract really shouldn't have anything to do with how he actually plays or what you expect out of him. A lot of the contracts these younger guys are signing are based on potential and what the team thinks they might be worth down the road.

Roy's contract was the same way when he signed it almost 6 years ago. People hated it. Thought they were paying him too much. In all reality, that contract ended up being a steal because of how contracts inflated and because he finally ended up meeting the potential that was expected out of him.

Where did I say he wasn't or won't be a number 1 D man? nobody on this team should be untoucable in the trade market.

I could be persuaded to say that Pommer should be untouchable, but there are a few players I'd be willing to give him up for.
