Confirmed with Link: Canucks Re-Sign Tyler Myers to 3y/3m Contract

[StreetHawk]

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

Tanev has a larger market. If you are EDM, if you can sign Tanev, you dump Ceci and hope he can help Nurse. Toronto, also should have interest in Tanev. Dal is buying out Suter, so they have some cap space to afford him. Technically, Tanev would have been a 2008 pick as that was his first year of eligibility. I would say I would have preferred Tanev instead, but that was no guarantee of securing him.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Exactly what I expected.

 

[LaVal]

Happy with $3 million, not excited with 3 years. I imagine that extra year brought down his cap hit. Thankfully his 3rd year is buyout friendly.

 

[bossram]

Third year is buyout-able, if his play takes a nosedive later in his career.

 

[TruGr1t]

There is zero chance you’d have gotten a right-side guy at this cap hit who could handle the 17-18 minutes Myers did last year.

 

[Phrasing]

Nope not a fan of this one. 2 years maximum and $2.5M maximum otherwise I would have chased Tanev, who by all accounts could be interested in a return.

 

[timw33]

A year too long, and would have expected more of a discount (250-500k more).

Glad to have at least 3 RHD signed but need to bump myers and juulsen down the chart.

 

[Diamonddog01]

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

Maybe. But it’s not too bad in regards to a buyout.

1.4 and then 0.76

 

[oceanchild]

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

I don’t think this is the case

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Going to guess Tanev signs a 4 year 20 mil contract. There are some teams offering stupid money. Would be very risky.

They have to choose between D depth and Guentzel.

 

[RobertKron]

Don’t think I like this at all. I’d be very happy to be wrong, but IMO, while he was getting better results and had a stronger playoffs, Myers was still kind of intermittently doing a lot of weird Myersy stuff - it just wasn’t really hurting anything. That obviously concerns me a lot going forward.

 

[Nuckles]

Third year is buyout-able, if his play takes a nosedive later in his career.

Meh, not really worth buying out in the final year unless he's absolutely awful. I imagine they could trade him with 50% retention for something even if he sucks because of his size.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

In my various CapFriendly projections, I had Myers at $2.95M for 2 years.

Only being off by .05 in the cap hit isn't going to upset me. And I think the way the third year is structured, it gives the Canucks the ability to walk away if they have to.

Fair deal for a guy who wants to be here. He and Soucy proved to be a difficult pair to play against for the Oilers in Round 2, so glad they get to ride again, here.

 

[Nucker101]

First Allvin move this off-season that I'm against

 

[Another Empty Netter]

That feels like a discount

Explain

 

[Jovofan]

$3m is exactly what I've been expecting him to be at all off-season. 3 years, not so much, but I also think this is a good way to ease Willander into the lineup. He can be a 3rd pairing Dman on the right side for his rookie season while Hronek and Myers take the heavier minutes. I'm fine with this. But I figure this means that Zadorov is walking on Monday which is a shame. Hopefully they can shift that money into some more speed and skill in the top six to balance it out.

 

[LordBacon]

3m for a bottom 5 guy who can play top 4 when injuries pill up can be useful. Just don’t like that it’s 3 yrs.

 

[Jovofan]

Third year is buyout-able, if his play takes a nosedive later in his career.

Yeah just saw the way the deal is structured. This is basically a 2 year contract in disguise.

 

[timw33]

They have to choose between D depth and Guentzel.

Kinda what it’s looking like. Chase quality D and go after Tier 2 forward like Arvidsson debrusk teravainen or go big F and value D

 

[Hodgy]

I will reserve judgment on this.

Ultimately, event though I would have liked 2 years or 2.5 million per year over three, I am fine with this if Myers is on the third pair, and for example, this doesn't prevent us from signing Tanev and Guentzel/Reinhart.

This must mean Zadorov is not coming back though,

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I was never a fan of the original Myers contract. I have to give him his flowers though for his play last year, and living up to his contract. He might of been able to get 3×5m on the market. That being said I am not a fan of having him signed until he is 37 and of the NMC and mNTC in the last year. If he doesn't decline much it's a good deal. I don't think this signing should of been a priority

Also here is a Gifaffe meme that I forgot to use during the season:

They can’t sign Tanev AND Guentzel/Reinhart and field a 23 man roster.

 

[StickShift]

IMO they will go after Guentzel over defense depth.

They showed last year that they were willing to go into the season with an incomplete defense. There will be a dozen options to choose from at the deadline.

Star wingers tends to be a lot more expensive to acquire through trade.

 

[bh53]

I'm personally fine with this. Feel like he certainly could've gotten close to 4.5m in free agency after the year he had. 3rd year is okay with me as well. Can dump him in 2026 off-season if cap space is tight/Myers has fallen off.
