Seravalli: Canucks getting calls on Tyler Myers, lots of league interest for Right Shot Dmen

[EverTheCynic]

What about Myers at $3m? Surely he’s worth a late 1st?

We aren’t competing the next 2 years anyways.

 

[dbaz]

makes sense. theres nothing really on the rhd market besides klingberg.

myers is atleast 6mil for only 2 years while someone is going to sign klingberg until hes 37 at 8+.

i dont think the canucks can really afford to trade him as they dont have a replacement though. they cant tank with demko, he steals too many games

Not competing and getting absoloutely shelled and destroyed cuz our top RD is Poolman or Schenn is 2 completely different things.

I feel that the Canucks dont want to go completely rock bottom and expose the young core to what they went through in terms of losing culture.

I think they only move Myers if there is a replacement in place thats equal or below Myers level but above Poolman/Schenn

We could bring back Benning as an assistant coach and GM to really demoralize the group. Have Weisbrod room with Demko. So Thatcher has to listen to stories about how John was a Harvard alumni every day.

That would break a man mentally. It can be done. We can find a way.

We aren't, but we can't afford to retain on everyone. We still need to have cap space to bring in players to target having a competitive team a couple years down the road.

I mean Chiarot had a bidding war simply because he happened to be right handed.

It's a story as old as time in the right shot marketplace for defense.

If Myers wasnt right handed I think this would be a different story.

His Trade clause Switches to a 10 team list this summer.

Canucks shouldn't need to retain on Myers... he has 2 seasons left and where else is a team going to find a top 4 RHD? teams shouldn't have too much issues with his cap hit because a top 4 UFA RHD would cost least that if not more and strap a team to a much longer term than 2 years. I can see why teams would be interested in Myers.

 

[Eggtimer]

Devils make sense . Need a Subban replacement at RHD.
Was Myers used on the PK often? Fitz has said that the Devils want to add some size and get harder to play against.
At 6 mil it makes it a little tricky . The two years left is almost perfect , it’s just a little much to have Hamilton , Severson and Myers on the right side. That’s a lot of cap % spent on on RHD.
What could work for Myers at zero retention and a price at retention to leave a 4 mil per cap hit?
I want to pay as less as possible to lessen the amount of assets the Devils would have to give value, butttttt woild also like to see value with Myers at 3-4-5 mil cap .
Would Zacha and a 4th be enough for Myers at 4 mil , 2 mil retained ?

 

[sting101]

Of course he's of value. Just because he is ideally a #4 does not change the fact that a 2yr deal for veteran RD that can log 22 min a night and still skates extremely well is not desired around the league.

Had a good year playing prime shut down role. That's nothing to scoff at after looking shaky for a couple years in a more offensive transitional role. Seems the best thing he could have ever done was to re evaluate his game and become more conservative and collected. Made a HUGE difference. OEL certainly helped as well but Myers wasn't causing issues and skated and moved pucks well most games and with his size and mobility is best to just hang around and use that incredible reach and size to his advantage which he did

Really just comes down to willingness to absorb a inflated AAV for a couple years while younger players mature or if your not strapped too much at the high end of the cap.

Any team that signs Klingberg is probably gonna wish they had Myers instead by spring of 2024 and there is simply not much to be had that doesn't come with either a huge price tag in trade assets or a worse cap commitment than 2yrs.

Favorite Myers moment this year was this....

I didn't know used car lots had an indoor showroom but the echo in here gave it away. If you want a young RHD that could turn into something and have an abundance of LHD please contact the Kings. Uh oh I see a nuck security guard coming to escort me out of the showroom and off the lot.

 

[sting101]

Yes a Rathbone for Spence trade could make some sense for both teams

Devils and Kings should make a deal. Devils have an abundance of LHD and a huge need for RHD

Dealing Spence makes no sence for LA IMO. Even if I take my bias glasses off that see him as their top right hand prospect not named Clarke, he is one of few RHD prospects that can clear waivers next year.

Would move Durzi before him.

Who for who, we should be down.

Spence is untouchable or overpay at least.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Myers is easy to hate on and he’s overpaid by about $1-2M, but have no doubt that there’s at least a few GM’s out there that would be interested and pay value for him.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Really devs dont have as much that would work for the kings as they do RHD's
We want a modern D who can score a few points with limited D. liability. NO on , DH, PK. Maybe on DS and TS, Walsh, Russo.

i'll believe it when i see it

Fair enough i feel the same for Rathbone. Kid is way too good for the AHL is explosive and has a wicked clapper. Only thinking along the lines of lefty for righty that are built the same and are tracking as smaller offensive guys.

If we didn't already have Hughes Rathbone would be completely untouchable and until we start to see what he settles into it would be tough to move him. I imagine you feel the same with Spence

Durzi would be a excellent target if he was available due to the glut of RD you guys have for us. He could marinate on a 3rd pair for awhile for us and Rathbone could do the same there while they both work on the defensive side of things

 

[Chet Manley]

The Canucks don't need a RH defenceman? Are they overflowing with them?

 

[Djp]

I dont think anyone is asking for a first, but a 2nd -4th is a possibility depending on interest.

What if Canucks kept him this season then traded him as a rental at the trade deadline in 2024, what would his return be barring he keeps up the way he played this season?

Myers on an expiring contract might get you with Chiarot got or clsoe to that ballpark which is 1st 4th and prospect. So trading him a season early should definitly be only a 2nd to 4th round pick

Right Shot Big Dmen that can skate will always have value.

Chiarot get a 1st from a desperate GM. Myers dues not get a 1st, nor a 2nd, evennat50%.

Myers is not aD first physical player.

ummm…he’s top 4? Ok.

Chiarot still got retained in his trade.

 

[Rowlet]

No, but they're looking to get another one from a Miller trade. Benning's garbage final year screwed the cap so bad they aren't competing for 2 years anyways, so the Canucks are likely looking to take on shorter term more expensive deals for longer term cheaper ones and can retain on Miller and Myers to get as much as possible and then start to go for it in 2 years.
