Myers better than Doughty?

That's what I got from reading the Calder section of his post. Calling Myers the "can't miss" defensemen when compared to Schenn, Doughty, Bogosion and Pietrangelo seems just a little farfetched. Don't you?

The only thing Myers has on Doughty is Size. Doughty will be a once in a generation/Ray Bourque type of player. Myers is good but fuck me running.

Myers is not better than Doughty……the others maybe…..but not Doughty. The guy played on the Canadian Olympic team as a top d-man

I’m sure some new rookie next year will be the talk of the town, and everyone will forget Myers.

Here’s hoping it’s Kadri.

Way worse.

I don’t even want to talk about it.

Dreger mentioned it on air today (calling it rediculous), which I thought gave it way too much credit.

That will be

the greatest comedy in history. All the people kissing Myers’s ass, suddenly saying that he’s a piece of crap for the sophomore slump. That will be greatness.

I know, if Drew Doughty played in the east they’d all be talking about him. He’s probably the second best d-man in the league behind Shea Weber.

Is the 2015-16 slogan going to be “100 points or bust” then?

I’d say he’s now probably ALSO a can’t miss defenceman.

But you have to admit that it’s quite an achievement on top of being a top-scoring dominant goalie.

The Calder can be the kiss of death some times. Regression to the mean.

Loving the Leafs is like being in love with a drug-addled, gambling addicted prostitute with a heart of gold and a bunch of humanitarian awards from her youth. It’s hard. It hurts. But dammit! I just love them!
