Myers has been quiet since the chaos that hit the Chiefs this off season but we have it here today the exclusive interview from the Chiefs now number 1 defender.

Interview Both Spezza and Mortallero claim they didnt demand out that they wanted best for team because they wanted to test FA one has resigned after being traded signed almost instantly why do you think that is?

Myers First im going to talk Mortallero his demand out kinda shocked me to be honest i don't think anyone did anything to insult him and he was probably one of our most active players and seemed happy heck even had a romance with Miller. Personally i don't see why he would demand out like that top line minutes PP PK and on a championship caliber team im lost and still annoyed at this one.

Next is Spezza this guy REALLY pissed me off after demanding his way out (the second time in two years). I said i wasn't going to say anything bad but screw it i don't care if he fires me as Co-GM something needs to be said about a guy who has everything except a C on his jersey who demands out for a 2nd bloody time. Hate to tell you bud if you ever want to don a C on your jersey you gotta actually lead and build up trust and work hard and not demand out like a big baby every time you don't get a C on your jersey you had top line mins too PP and PK plus a letter A on a team one win from a cup? He claims it was for the best of the team (heard that one last time too bud) says hes gonna test FA then signs right away for the same contract he bought himself out of and for MUCH less over 10 years :S. I'm sorry bud i respect you as a GM but you haven't shown me any reason to respect you as a player.

Interview Very strongly worded you aren't worried that this will cause a stir?

Myers I know this will cause a stir but im speaking my mind there has been so much talk of turmoil in our locker room because of these two and it pisses me off cuz its the farthest thing from the truth. Spezza and Mortallero had only there interests in mind they didn't even think about the team that helped them develop and gave them a chance after they burned bridges its sickening.

Interview Well said Derringer is set to retire this season how badly does this hurt your team next year and do you think there are underlying reasons for him leaving the club in his prime?

Myers I have great respect for Derringer he has already said he would love to rejoin the Chiefs with his new player so no i dont think there is any other reason then he lost interest in his player and wants to rejuvenate himself in this league with a new player. There is no denying his retirement will hurt our team badly next season. It also puts alot of pressure on me to step in and fills his shoes. It saddens me to see him leave because me and him built chemistry together late in the year and were one of the best pairs in the playoffs i hope we can repeat that success this year and win the cup with him on the team cuz next year will be abit of a rebuild for us for sure.

Interview Very well put. After all this going on two big pieces of the cup run gone what do you think the chances of your team doing the same are?

Myers Personally i cant wait for the season to start with all this going on everyone is now pegging us as bottom feeders saying they are the reason we win and went far i cant wait to prove them wrong we have an eager group and Mastro and Hunter the two players we added i feel can pick up some of the slack the two ex players left not to mention Klose and Miller will be a year older and i think they both will have break out year. On the back end we now have two capable offensive dmen in me and Parmesean. I should have a much better year offensively this year and that too will help off set any losses. We are a deeper team everyone forgets this our 3rd line now is almost all active versus last year plus our two active top lines and we have 2 full active d pairings as well. So why should we be worse cuz two players who thought nothing of the team and just themselves demanded out no we are still tight nit group and we believe we can come back even stronger this year and prove teams wrong.

Interview Thank you for your time Myers and i wish you the best of luck this year.

Myers Thank you it was a pleasure and nice to get that off my chest.
Oh the turmoil, I love it. Props to the Chiefs for the trades though. Both are very good deals I think.
Glad to see someone took my place of ripping into Spezza after asking for a trade, since I retired. Wink

Good article though
Tell em Myers!
Ilike

Nice article. Some really good points in there. Future #1 dman right hurrr!!!! Chiefs
Okay...no. He said he was going to test FA? Okay, that's cool and all. But if you're set to be a UFA at the end of the season and a team trades up a future superstar and a 2nd Round pick for you, are you going to still test the free agent market or are you going to re-sign? Really? Who's going to fuck a team over like that?

Spezza and I also have a good relationship so I knew as soon as I traded for him I could persuade him to re-sign with the Toon, no matter how inclined he was to test Free Agency. Guess what? I made that happen. He was going to test FA until I changed his mind, so quit talking shit and getting all pissed at him. It's stupid as hell.

Tried to stay quiet on this whole situation but enough is enough.

Wait 3 seasons till his PO....JS.

We couldnt havent offered him more than what we did tbh. 1st line minutes, PP, PK, shootout, assistant captain, head scout, 5 mill next season....not to mention our LR is one of the best in the league. He doesnt like commitment, 2 teams in 2 seasons, going on 3 seasons.

why would you trade a 2nd round pick + a future star for someone who is testing FA unless you knew he was gonna re-sign, so unless you had talks to him before we traded him then you made a bad move.

and Spezza could of waited to re-sign and i wouldn't have had a problem with it. The trade thread was posted Jan 9th at 4:30 pm and Spezza re-signed at 8:30pm that same day, talk about a stab to the back. I like having Spezza on the team he's a good guy but this kinda makes me think differently about him. We gave him everything to offer except the C and apparently that wasn't good enough for him so he says he is going to test FA, so instead of getting nothing for him we got something.

btw Morts is still in my good books because he said he was going to test FA and guess what, he has stayed true to his word.
This may get ugly

Had talks with him before? Nope, I just have the balls to take that risk and I knew I could probably convince him to re-sign. 1st Line + Great linemates + Assistant Captaincy + Head Scout + His Brother + Team History + Sarm and I ~ Re-sign. It wasn't that hard, really.

Why is that a problem? If anything, you should have a problem with me, lol. I didn't even PM him that we had traded for him until like 15 minutes after the trade was posted, and I believe it took even longer than that for him to see the thread. Then I did my best to convince him to re-sign.

He re-signed cause he's not a asshole, man. Only an asshole would see a team trade so much for them only to burn them and hit free agency following the season. We have always been on good terms as well, so I knew that it would be a great risk/reward move.

Just don't get why him saying he's going to test FA is a big deal. Shit happens. Move on. I'm sure Boon & Witz could've eventually persuaded him to sign an extension. Time to move on, it's over with.
y cant we be friends?
