Canucks Re-Sign Tyler Myers to 3y/3m Contract

[SeawaterOnIce]

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

That or they know Tanev's price may be way too high.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Time to refresh the old CapFriendly and see where we're at now...

MAN it's going to suck when this site goes dark. f*** you, Washington!

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s honestly a good valley deal, I just wish it was two years.

Still don’t mind it at all, I think it’s pretty perfect

 

[strattonius]

I'm not a fan of the 3rd year either but my assumption without looking is the contract is structured so we can buy out Myers in the last year if his play falls off.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Wonder what this means for Willander. At some point in the next 3 seasons are the Canucks going to run right side of Hronek-Myers-Willander? Blech.

 

[Ita]

Not a big fan of of this. Much rather spend a bit more on Tanev.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Gah, that third year.

I would have only went to 2 years.

But you can see it was about total money for Myers.

 

[StickShift]

Also—I feel like $3m and 3y is going to feel like very little money and very little term compared to the RD contracts that get handed out next week.

 

[EpochLink]

Myers needs to spruce up his boat in Kelowna, needs the cash

 

[pitseleh]

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.

Yeah, my concern is they need some upside plays and are running out of room to make them.

 

[JT Milker]

Wonder what this means for Willander. At some point in the next 3 seasons are the Canucks going to run right side of Hronek-Myers-Willander? Blech.

It means nothing.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Eh not as happy with this as the other deals. Should never have given a 3rd year.

 

[bossram]

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.

My thoughts exactly. I was fine with $3M AAV, which was expected, but should have kept the term down. He's 34, don't think the third year was necessary. And if he wanted to come back in summer 2026, they could've worked something out on a year-to-year basis.

It's not a win. But passable.

 

[alternate]

Myers had a good season last year, but I still think I would have gone a different direction with this cap space, specially someone that might have some chemistry with Hughes.

Not a bad contract, maybe a year too long, but he's a big part of the dressing room so no real complaints. Don't love it, don't hate it.

 

[wonton15]

This is the first move I don’t like. Ughhh.

 

[TruGr1t]

Fine contract, and good value if he can repeat last year. I do worry we’re planning on running Hronek-Myers-Juulsen down the right. Would like to see a guy signed to bump Juulsen down to #7, but not sure that’s in the cards.

 

[Flik]

You know what, Myers was pretty solid for us this year and he was really good for us in the playoffs.

This is a small overpayment, but I think it's fine, he's found his role and the coaching staff will probably squeeze 3 years of productivity out of him.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

 

[ziploc]

Have to think this means no Zad. Can't imagine fitting him and a top line winger under the cap now. I'm guessing Dillon at <3m; Juulsen gets the 6th D spot, and a big name winger.

 

[Josepho]

i think it should be possible to move him in the third year

 

[alicia]

The 6m contract was supposed to be his "sweetheart" deal

I don't mind this though, maybe a year too long.

 

[wonton15]

This absolutely means no Zadorov, which is fine. But are we really going to run it back? Running out of cap for tangible improvements..

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I take it all back.

I don't like this deal.

 

[oceanchild]

Don’t love this one as much, but they ain’t playing and boy oh boy are they cooking. I continue to expect Garland get traded.

 

[Else Ermine]

It's a good move. Capable RHD cost too much and he's never been worse than a second pair one despite the hatred of his previous contract.
