Quoting: Knuckl3s
Okay, then how do you explain defenders like Chiarot, Leddy, Gudbranson, and Rutta all commanding pretty pennies on the UFA market, and no, it's NOT all about acquisition cost or lack their of
It is vert simple. Chiarot the year before had good numbers & made the Stanley Cup Final as a Top 4 D-Man hence why he got a nice return & sold contract (Stevie Y’s
most scrutinized deal) , (Also Zito is just dumb for trading such a package for a pointless player), Rutta is a 2 time Cup Champion so people will pay, Gudbranson had a good statistical season in Calgary & Was overpaid. Leddy looked good in St.Louis & Fit what they wanted after acquiring him for basically pennies.
How does Myers Compare? He has had 3 terrible statistical seasons, He is 32 years of age, Big,Slow, Shouldn’t be in a Top 4 Role (Is cause of his height which is the biggest thing he has going for him), Can’t move the puck particularly well, Gives the puck away more then he steals it.
Everything Points to Myers being a Cap-Dump that needs to be 50% retained to garner even the slightest bit of Value
