Your world frightens and confuses me
I'm one of those who likes Myers. With his reach, he is another unique asset we have that virtually nobody else has. Plus, he can skate and puck handle like nobody else with his height. Sure, we get the odd "bad Myers" (like "bad Buff"), but once he strikes the right balance he is irreplaceable. He has helped this team big time on more than one occasion.
I agree that Enstrom's salary can be better used elsewhere. He is simply too small/weak to play that position the way he plays it. Plus, he offers virtually no offensive threat anymore. Niku is the obvious guy to take his place, but I really liked what Morrow brought to the table in the playoffs.
I think there's a good chance Paul Statsny may sign. Take it for what you will, but the grapevine suggests that he was looking for a house in Headingly already (again, that's a non-confirmed rumour, but my source was adamant). With Shief/Statsny/Little/Lowry, we're just fine down the middle. I still hold out a grain of hope for Petan, but this is his make-it-or-break-it season. It would be nice to have one up and coming centre who is still in his early 20's.
I'd still give Comrie another shot at the back-up.
With the team's success in the playoffs, and chance to play with young talent that we have, I have high hopes that we will do much better attracting free agents this coming season as well.
