I'm filling in for Matt with today's Season Re-Run. Today we focus on young Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers. This season was his sophmore season after an incredible rookie season that ended with a Calder Trophy.
This year did not start out great for the former Kelowna Rocket. His +/- was not great, and he just didn't seem to have the offensive flair that he had shown in his rookie season. But, as the season progressed, he grew up. By the end of the year he scored 10 goals, one off of his total last season. Most importantly his physical play developed. I expect him to develop into more of a shutdown defenseman in the next few years. The video below is from the Flyers series, where Myers hit then Flyer now Panther Chris Versteeg
One of the highlights of the season for Myers came against Versteeg's current team, the Florida Panthers. Myers ripped a shot from the point with only 4.5 seconds left in overtime to pull of the victory for the Sabres.
