They also play a different style too as Myers can play the offensive more. Schenn is probably better defensively, but Myers will be and is currently the better all around defensemen between these two.

3.6 mil for four years, and then a probable raise closer to Myers salary for at least another three years (at least the length of Myers contract).

So let's estimate low and say Schenn gets about 5 mil for another three years, for a total of 30 mil over seven years. That's 8 mil shy of Myers over seven years. In the long run Schenn's contract is not far off from Myers', but he's not even close to Myers on the ice right now, and probably not ever.

bingo. myers is a better rounded player. he contributes on both sides of the puck. schenn is a defensive stud who hits and prevents goals. offensively, hes not a big contributer.

Exactly, and the more offensive defenders always get paid more, except Erhoff though.

Not to mention Tyler Myers is defensive as well, adding to what he should be paid.

Umberger just signed a 5 year deal getting $4.6M per.

Myers' deal is a steal.
