Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have signed defenseman Tyler Myers to a three-year entry level contract. Myers was Buffalo’s first selection (12th overall) in the 2008 Entry Draft.

“Tyler is having an outstanding year with the Kelowna Rockets,” said General Manager Darcy Regier. “This past weekend he led the Rockets to the Western Hockey League Championship where he was named playoff MVP. He is a big, strong player who has excellent hockey skills for a 19-year old player. We’re glad to have him signed and look forward to his continued development both on and off the ice.”

Myers (6’8”, 215 lbs., 2/1/1990) is about to put the finishing touches on an incredible season, as his Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League have advanced to the Memorial Cup Championship that begins this week in Quebec.

He can play up to 10 games in Buffalo. At that point Buffalo either has to keep him for the year or send him back to Kelowna in the Juniors. He cannot be sent to Rochester.

He can NEVER go to Rochester...why would want to send him to Florida's farm system?

Once he has signed a contract,are you sure he can still go back to the Juniors?

See ya, Teppo.

[SabreEleven]

Why would he not be eligible for Portland either?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Good news. This kid is looking like a stud!

[Dr. Lecter]

He is too young. There are age limits to play in the AHL.

[Nighthawk]

And there is the Sabres BIG move for the offseason!

[JD]

He is NHL ready if you put him up against the clowns we have in front of Miller now.

Put 35 lbs on him and pair him up with a healthy Rivet.

Butler Rivet
Myers Lydman
Weber Sekera

with the signing of Myers means that Spacek isn't going to be back. Also look for Tallinder to be shopped around at the draft, the Sabres don't have a second round draft choice which they gave up to San Jose for Rivet. The Sabres want to get that 2nd round draft choice back and trading Tallinder could get them that pick back.

So.... the Sabres are going to drop two veteran defensemen because they added one 19 year old D man who still needs to add bulk? That makes a lot of sense....

Hey, it's the Sabres way...

At least when he ****s up, he'll have a valid excuse. The ass monkey's call "veteran defensemen" have no valid excuse for ****ty play.

From the Buffalo News

Players with junior eligibility cannot play in the minor leagues.

So its like a 9-10 game tryout for him next year :jig: I hope he bulks up a bit.
