#2 Tyler Myers
D, Buffalo Sabres
It's the sheer mass of Myers that first catches your eye, all 6-8, 222-pounds of him. It doesn't take long, however, to recognize that there's more than size to his game. Myers is fast, blessed with a long, smooth stride that allows him to lead a breakout as easily as he takes time and space away from a marauding forward. He's smart, tireless (leading all rookies in TOI with nearly 24 minutes a night) and has a cannon from the point that's earned him a spot among the league's top rookie scorers.
