2008-09: Kelowna Rockets (WHL) staple, Myers netted nine goals and 42 points in 58 games. His 105 penalty minutes were a career-high for the defenseman.

Talent Analysis
Myers has premier size and excellent potential as an offensive defenseman. At this early stage in his development, he is already a great skater, but needs to become a more reliable passer and point man.
Future
Myers had turned in a strong rookie season for the Sabres and appears to be a lock for a roster spot going forward.
