Yes and Myers has not yet for us and maybe never will. That said, I do not want Myers traded. He has turned a corner and this season is his to prove it. If beyond this season he fails to do that then trade him.
- Orphen22



I'm not saying trade him, just saying he doesn't compare to Pronger and isn't ahead of Pronger in his development at the same age. Pronger was miles ahead of him.

He was traded straight up for Brendan Shanahan. I don't see Myers being traded straight up for a player like Shanahan.

Pronger was born in 1974. Please do the math when most of his achievements. occurred from 23 and on . Never compared Myers achievement wise . Development wise in regards to the others because of their physical statures are comparing.

At least be realistic.

I was.

His career numbers look more and more like Dmitri Kalinin everyday.

That said, I wouldn't give him away, but stop treating him like he's the second coming and untouchable. He's not, and if the right deal is there, and it makes sense and makes us better, I hope the "big guy" has a first class ticket outta here.

Players feared playing against Pronger as he was a nasty player.

Myers isn't on the same level as Pronger was in that department.

Pronger had all the tools and used them almost from the get go. Only reason he was traded by Hartford was because of a drinking problem.

Even at that he was traded straight up for Brendan Shanahan at 20yrs old.

We all agree he has to get nastier . Pronger was not near the skater at that age Myer's is.

How would people feel about Brenden Lemieux if we got into the 15-20 range? Think he will be there still?
