seems a little steep

 

[Deeds26]

I love me some Chaos Giraffe memes, but meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh that contract.

 

[Bgav]

Hate the term. Rather have let him walk

 

[EpochLink]

Man will retire a Canuck, guy loves it here.

 

[StickShift]

Probably one-year more than I would’ve wanted—but lines up with the expiry of Quinn Hughes deal.

 

[Peen]

Aw man

 

[VanCanucks53]

After all the W’s, don’t love this.

Was wishing we used that money towards big Z.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Not happy with this. Ugh, Christ....

 

[pitseleh]

Don’t love this for a guy who will be 37 when the contract is over. 2x$3 million or 3x$2.5 would have been fair.

 

[Vector]

If they were going to 3 years I wanted a bit under 3m but I won't niggle. He formed a great pairing with Soucy, is aging extremely well, and wants to be in Vancouver. Big part of the culture. Keeps Tocchet happy.

 

[thekernel]

That feels like a discount

 

[VanillaCoke]

Solid again, right on what I was expecting.

Keep em coming Allvin can't wait to see the next four five days nothing but confidence

 

[drax0s]

Nice. Honestly sometimes he looked like he was almost worth 6 in the playoffs. 3x3 is an easy signing for me.

 

[Nuckles]

A little higher than I wanted for a 3 year deal considering he's 34, turning 35 next February.

Would have preferred this for 2 years, or 2.5-2.75M for 3 years.

 

[JT Milker]

Acceptable. Soft spot for players that want to play here.

 

[Vector]

Don’t love this for a guy who will be 37 when the contract is over. 2x$3 million or 3x$2.5 would have been fair.

It's a slight overpay and would have been nice to continue with the wins on the margins but I get them wanting to keep him around.

 

[Peen]

Listen if they can still pull an elite forward and top four RHD, I’ll eat crow and not give a shit about this.

I just don’t think they needed to do this at this price

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Would have been ok on 2 years. 3 seems a bit much

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

If they were going to 3 years I wanted a bit under 3m but I won't niggle. He formed a great pairing with Soucy, is aging extremely well, and wants to be in Vancouver. Big part of the culture. Keeps Tocchet happy.

Indeed. The market for right side defenders is also going to be divided between A) Way too expensive, or B) Hot garbage. Getting Myers at a relative bargain at $3M per year is solid work - and it represents him taking a 50% paycut to stay somewhere he wants to be, too.

I'd have prefer 2x3, or a little under 3M per year for 3 years, but that's splitting hairs. He and Soucy are a good pair.

I get the sense, though, that Myers coming back may mean Zadorov is gone.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Will be interested to see how this is structured. Not a fan of the 3rd year.

 

[Josepho]

myers clearly wanted to stay here and i think allvin could've leveraged him into accepting less

 

[Slapshot_11]

.5 overpayment

 

[geebster]

As others have said its higher than I wanted, but not totally unreasonable either. That gives us like 15 million to sign a forward, another defenseman, and a backup goalie. Makes Zadorov and Guentzel very unlikely unless Zadorov goes on the lower end of estimates.
