description: "Tyler Paul Myers is a Canadian–American professional ice hockey player who is a defenceman for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the first round, 12th overall, in the 2008 NHL entry draft. At the end of the 2009–10 season, Myers won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's best rookie. Standing at 6 ft 8 in (203 cm) tall, he is one of the tallest active players in the NHL, and was nicknamed \"The Big Easy\" or \"Big Tex\" when he started his NHL career, because he was born in Houston. After moving to Vancouver, Myers earned the nickname \"Chaos Giraffe\" from fans, though he has since distanced himself from the nickname after moving to Dallas."
