“He’s an even keel young man and that’s one of the things we really like about him,” he said. “Whether he’s getting on the bus or the plane after a game, you’d be hard pressed to whether he had a great game or a poor game. He realizes that it’s a long road and he looks at the opportunity to play and get better.”
I love hearing that about him; it's the way to be. I hope he never loses that inner composure. I doubt he ever will; that seems to be a trait that not many people have, but those who do have it have it in spades. He's got a great future.

The result, as Regier explained Thursday afternoon, is that Myers will become a restricted free agent one year earlier. If he remains on the roster for 40 games, he becomes an unrestricted free agent a year earlier, at the age of 26 years old rather than 27 years old.
I can see the countless threads now.

Why is Myers a UFA this year?
Quote:
"Blah blah blah we have to trade XYZ player to keep Myers here."
"Why? He's only going to be an RFA. He doesn't have any power in negotiations. We can sign him cheap for one more year."
"He's going to be UFA."
"What, no he's not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"No!"
"YES!"
