As a defenseman in 2018 or as a defenseman over the course of the deal? Over the course of the deal, Myers has been just as injured as Bogosian. Playing 3rd pairing minutes is a low bar.
I would challenge you to find a single season throughout their careers where Bogosian outperformed myers.
Yes, they both have injury histories. But that wasn’t my point, since I assume djp is not confused about the injury history of both guys. And they had similar games missed in total.
On the ice Myers is and always was a significantly better hockey player. Whether as an offensive transition rookie, or as a not mean, but trying first pair guy with a physical edge. The fact that the team around him was total garbage, made his last few seasons more impressive.
Bogo has never sniffed Myers heights, pun intended, and Bogo’s lows are unbelievable for a veteran, tool laden professional. Neither is a Norris winner. But if you can’t see the distinction between the two, I can’t help you without a projector, 2-3 hours of video review and alcohol.
