JFC, this guy is clueless.
We are in for a worse era than the Hextall one.
I find declarations like this to be quite puzzling...we don't really have a sense of the era yet at all. Again, it's been 6 weeks.
Myers is 21 and playing huge minutes on a decent AHL team in his second season there. Fletcher has been up to watch him and the rest of the Phantoms on at least three occasions, but probably not much more than that. The evaluation could well be that he's better off developing (for the immediate future, as in, next 1 to 7 months) in his current situation than he would be playing limited minutes on a bad NHL team. Who knows?
