I don't understand all the hate Myers has been getting lately from BUF fans. Kid is very young and toolsy. We've seen what he can do when he's on, and that is dominate games. Defensemen often take a while to ripen and hit their prime. Chara wasn't anything too special until he was 25 or so. Have some patience.
At the time when the Senators had to choose between Redden and Chara...most posters thought Redden was the one to keep. In hindsight...most posters were wrong.

But yeah, it's tough to say with D-men. That certainly doesn't guarantee Myers will progress more, but it certainly is possible.
