Need alot more going to Buffalo with ROR for that to happen. Defence that big and that highly touted at the young an age are worth much more than one 2nd liner (see David Perron's value).
Myers could be the next Pronger, give him 3 more years.

Pronger won a hart and norris at same point Myers is at his career now. Dont think 3 years is going to change that.

Pronger won them when he was 26/27 and myers is 24. So exactly what I said. 3 years yet.

We'll be lucky to get some undersized garbage prospect drafted in the 7th round for Kassian.

But Cody Hodgson is playing like complete trash also, so it guess it softens the blow.

Oh I know! Kassian sucks, inconsistent, pampered, immature and entitled....and the Canucks still "won the trade."

Nope, Pronger was 25 when he did it...October birthday, born in 74, 1999-2000 Hart season (His 7th in the league)

Myers is turning 25 this Feb and this is his 6th season...like I said, same point in their career, minus 1 season...Myers played 1 more season of Junior vs Pronger going straight in after being drafted like Pronger

He's played 357 games already. He's a very good player but what is he suddenly going to learn or develop to take him to that elite level?

Well im one who will admit i cant see the future, so could he develop into a superstar defensemen? sure, will he? i have no clue

but if were asking that question based on what hes already done, my guess would be no, hes going to be really really good, but not pronger level

I totally get that if buffalo trades him they want an overpayment because of his potential and contract and all that good stuff, but if overpayment means (in terms of red wings) mantha/larkin + jurco + a 1st? GTFO not going to happen, no one really knows what exactly murray is asking for tho

The team around him will he better.

He can't use his skill set in Buffalo. He needs to be agressive, and jumping into the play, he's already pretty good in his end. Just needs some help

More Rinaldo magic...Question: "Do you feel that it (an ejection) was warranted in this case?" Rinaldo: "What do you mean, warranted?"
