Tyler Myers
Class of 2008 - 1st round (12th overall)
Drafted by the Buffalo Sabres
NHL Translation: Franchise Defenseman
NHL Comparible: Zdeno Chara
"He is not often burned by the small, quick players and because of the emphasis in today’s NHL on a lack of restraining type of play, I think Tyler has adjusted well to that and is more ready to play in the new NHL than a lot of the other smaller players. He’s got a rocket shot from the point on the power-play and that is never going to leave him."
"The one thing with Tyler is that his size is something that you can’t teach. He’s very big and for a guy his size, he skates very well. He’s very fluid on the ice. For a younger guy, he’s got a lot of composure with the puck. I think that’s one of the reasons why a lot of NHL scouts are fairly high on him right now . . . he’s starting to understand that he can use his size to his advantage in our own zone. He’s becoming a really good player defensively. His stick is so good and he makes it very difficult for opponents to get around him in the defensive zone."
"Tyler is having an outstanding year. He is a big, strong player who has excellent hockey skills for a 19-year old player."
