Rumor: Canucks Exploring Tyler Myers Trade Value

[mouz135]

C’mon, jimmy. Unload this anchor

 

[ratbid]

As a Ranger fan there is zero chance this happens. Trouba has been great for us and the Rangers arent downgrading to Myers.

Lol yeah as a Canucks fan I don't know how anyone would expect us to be able to get Trouba for Myers, much less Trouba with retention.

 

[innitfam]

Boeser/Myers for Zacha/Severson base? Add some balancing pieces?

Canucks could retain, I don't think as much as 50% though.

 

[belair]

heard its myers 1m retained for barrie and a 3rd

The idea isn't crazy. Barrie's not really the type of D the Canucks really need though.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

As a Sabres fan there's a need for RHD I wouldn't mind a return of Myers. Let's say

Wow I hope not.

 

[Eggtimer]

Myers and Boeser for Zacha Severson and ?

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Wow I hope not.

I don't see it. Canucks likely want to eliminate all of his salary without taking any back beyond this season.

 

[Siludin]

I don't even really consider Myers' contract to be an anchor with the deals we see top-pairing dmen getting nowadays. Myers is a bit of a unique player.
If you are going to dip into UFA this year, which RD are you going to find equivalent to Myers at $6m?
Would you prefer Klingberg, Ristolainen? Are you going to be able to get them <$6m, and will you have to give them undesirable term?

No way, he’s no where near what we need. We need defensively responsible and hopefully physical Dmen. Myers is neither

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Wouldn't Myers have negative value? If he was a coming UFA I could see a playoff team adding him (Canuck’s retain) for a pick/prospect, but he’s got term left.

Nope. Not everyone that’s overpaid has negative value, HF has a dumb notion of thinking this way.
He’s a massive mobile RHD

Vancouver sent their 2nd this year to Arizona in the OEL deal.

I don't think the Sabres would need to swap 1st for 2nd to land Myers. Assuming they'd take him with no retention, and without sending a contract back the other way.

What would be the counter-proposal?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Vancouver would likely have to take a ~2-3M cap dump back, but ya he should return some value if they do that.


Probably along the lines of a 2nd + C Prospect + Cap dump.

 

[BCNate]

I haven't been a fan of Myers in his time in Vancouver, makes too many bad plays with the puck. I have to give him credit though, he has been very good this season. with only two years left on his deal, I'm not sure why we would trade him now. I'd be real comfortable saying he is a 4.5-5 milli0on dollar defenseman right now, getting paid 6. Not sure you will get enough value to fill the gap in the lineup moving him would create. Myers shouldn't be looked at as a cap dump with his current play.

I get the need to open up cap, but I'd be looking to move Pearson, Dickinson, Poolman, Hamonic to get that done.

 

[blankall]

If Hamonic and Poolman have no trade value but Myers does, then yes we ought to trade Chaos Giraffe.

OEL - Hamonic
Hughes - Schenn
(puck-mover LD) - Poolman

That is so bad....Like really bad. I feel genuinely sorry for Hughes. It's Hughes and a group of d-men that were cast off from other teams.

 

[Three On Zero]

Make that Barrie, a B prospect and a 1st. No one is willingly taking on Barrie, the guy is a pure cap dump

Where do I sign and what time do I drive Myers to the airport?

In all seriousness, Myers is a tantalizing player. When he realizes he's 6'7 and uses it, he can be unstoppable. It's just that 80% of the time he plays defense like a giraffe that's chaotic.

 

[Siludin]

With Vancouver retaining salary/taking a cap dump, you're talking about a massive mobile top-4 d-man, costing $3m, being moved at the deadline for less than a 1st. I don't see it.

 

[Szechwan]

That is so bad....Like really bad. I feel genuinely sorry for Hughes. It's Hughes and a group of d-men that were cast off from other teams.

Strangely enough, Schenn has been great with Hughes - far better than Hamonic has ever been, and probably second to only Tanev when it comes to fit.

He's going to be a guy a lot of contenders ask about this deadline, but honestly I would probably rather keep him for another year.

 

[SEALBound]

I would imagine with a new president and GM, this would be a standard practice as they near the trade deadline.

Schenn could get moved. He did just win two cups with Tampa. That being said, he's okay as a replacement D-man to slot in for a long playoff drive. I wouldn't want him as a permanent fixture in my top 4 though.

He's not getting a first

 

[Canucks LB]

He's not getting a first

With 2m retained, he could get a 1st
Massive RHD, That can Skate, having a good season, at 4 million.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

He's not getting a first

Retained? Easily. He’s a top 4 mobile minute munching massive RHD

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

With 2m retained, he could get a 1st

No he couldn't, up until this year he has been garbage for us, do you think other GM's don't know that?

I remember Jet's fans being ecstatic that we signed him for a reason.
