For all the complaints about the defense, the team is giving up about the same amount of shots as last year, and we are above league average in that regard. The team also has fewer giveaways than last year. No one was screaming about needing a Top 4 defenseman coming into this season. Myers could very easily be better than any defenseman who's available. If Fletcher doesn't give Myers a full shot and goes into the offseason and adds some washed-up mediocrity like Vlasic I'll be downright furious.
Friedman also deserves a shot and Myers, heading into his Draft +7 year, probably deserves a look as well.
