I agree with this. Myers would love to skate like Carlo. Myers is more like Chara but not as good as Chara.
Carlo is more like a Brent Burns minus the offensive firepower, though a bit better at the defensive end.
Burns has skated at Right Wing before, I'm not entirely sure he's a good comparison for Carlo even with the caveats.

Frederic is more like Crosby minus the offensive firepower.

Urho looks good though - certainly a good future, though I'm not sure who he compares to now. Brodin could be close.

Cmon now lol
The only reason I list Brent Burns is that he is also 6'5 a good skater and a decent defender due to physical tools
Not easy to list many 6'4-6-5 Ds that can skate and are agile

I think given all the negative press from certain local sports reporters, there wasn't a very high bar set for him. Jack sounds surprised every time he touches the puck .
He definitely looks like he belongs based on today's game.

Yeah but Myers is just entering his prime. Maybe he keeps getting better like Z did. I'd love to have him.
Should have traded Dougie straight up for Myers in hindsight!

I compare Carlo to Bob The Count Dailey of the Flyers years ago .Least that is type player he reminds me of.

Anyone has that clip of Vaaka dancing around 3 RedWings? I just want to see in slow motion how he did it. Maybe he cheated? lol

With his strong play, Urho Vaakanainen is forcing the Bruins to make some tough decisions
Cassidy on Vaaka after Tonights loss to RW
“I like him,” said Bruce Cassidy of the teenage Finn. “I thought he was very good tonight. [He] joins the rush effectively, at the right times,...he’s probably figuring out some of the guys, what plays are there to be made. I think he doesn’t look like he gets many shots blocked, so I think he does a good job of finding the lane.”

Reading the Dan Ryan article. Other than sending Vaaka to Prov, send him back to Fin

Kluzak was a dominant/Tough top defenseman with a great future ahead of him until knee injury's occurred.
Myers not even close to what Gord was or would of been.
