But Myers is not Chara.

I don't care about the size comparison. Myers may have reached his ceiling. He might be a flash in the pan, regarding the Calder trophy. He may be nothing more than a 25 pt guy who skates well.

How can he justify trading myers for a second? That's preposterous!

Myers should never be compared to Pronger.

They aren't even close to the same player.

- dadeadhead


Pronger did not acheive all those things by 24 , Unless NHL.com is lying . Keep in mind he was born in 1974

A guy called and basically told Schopp he was an idiot for his thoughts on Myers and it was hilarious.

How do you know he has reached his ceiling ? Did you watch him under Nolan last year . He truly took over games more than a few times . If that is his ceiling I will take it . Chara did not at 24 years old . Big men take longer to develop.

How old is Myer's again ? He was first named all star in 98 - He was 24 years old . Named to Rookie all star team . So was Myer's in fact Myer's won the Calder.

You need to read my post.

I said he may have reached his ceiling. And I did watch him under Nolan. I haven't missed a game since my wedding night 19 years ago.

Yeah, I am appalled that Schopp can't recognize the shear potential of Myers. Seriously, he has all the tools and a world of talent. Why would anyone trade that for a second round pick?

Pronger was a 3 time all star and captain at Myers current age.


He won the Hart and Norris by the time he was 25.

In his third season with St. Louis and first as team captain following the departure of Brett Hull as a free agent, Pronger was again named to the All-Star team.


That means he was previously an all star.
