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

[mriswith]

Gross. Hate this deal. He's 34 years old and was crap for most of his previous contract. Current coaching staff had success with him this year but again, he's 34 years old. We all just saw how fast Cole fell off a cliff due to age and we're banking on Myers maintaining his best level of play into his late 30s.

 

[Svencouver]

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.

They've been very open and vocal about valuing his size on defense to go along with the rest of the bottom 4. With Zadorov, its just a matter of whether or not his number meets their value marker for a bottom 4 guy - they'd clearly like to keep him.

Fair point, this is the biggest risk of this signing.
Hopefully the coaching staff keeps his minutes low unless the situation forces their hands.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

This is going to be a really good signing or a really bad signing depending on which Tyler Myers shows up.

Playoffs is the only thing that counts.
And this dude was a rock in the playoffs.

Or:


The regular 82 exhibition critics will whine and whine but the real shit starts on game 83.

 

[God]

i was hoping it would be under 3 so i don't love it, but i also don't think myers' aging curve with respect to performance is the same as other defensemen due to his size making up for a lot of deficiencies. coaching staff has been really good at getting him to keep it simple.

meh. goodbye zaddy.

 

[thecupismine]

It’s only the third year here that gives me pause - I was fully expecting 3-3.5 million plus on a 2 year deal given what we paid for Cole last year in FA and the cap going up.

Given his size and RHD, and ability to play bigger minutes than Cole, I’m not surprised his agent was able to squeeze us a bit harder.

Very interested to see how the search for Petey’s winger goes from here, and if we’ll be able to add additional depth on d or not.

 

[HairyKneel]

That feels like a discount

It's another great deal. Some of the meat puppets need to start watching and understanding the game instead of reading gravy covered, sweaty neckbeard stats.

Allvin is killing it.

 

[EpochLink]

Tocchet's deployment of big defensemen who can move is where this is at

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Have to think Hughes, Petey and Miller are feeling pretty good right now. Hard to imagine they weren't having thoughts of Toffoli/Markstrom/Tanev/Stecher after the bubble seeing so many guys unsigned for so long, and then BAM, we lock up all the guys that started the year with the team.

 

[Breakers]

If this guy could even remotely control his Minor penalties when defending

He puts this team on the PK so much and a majority of them are just lazy penalties

Top 10 in minor penalties

 

[EpochLink]

At least it's not 6 million a year, thankfully at half the cost and half the term.
Welcome back Myers.

I still remember the ran outta time comment by Jim. What a f***ing embarrassment of a GM.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

The pairing with Soucy was solid all year long. He would have made more through FA.

 

[Huggy43]

Was expecting Dak’s deal to be $500k higher & Myers’ to be $500k less… so it’s a wash for me.

Wish he would have given a bit of a discount since he was overpaid in his last deal.


Zadorov next plz

 

[oba]

Welcome back,

Myzey and Dak ....

 

[Baby Pettersson]

If you can find a better player than what Myers offers for 3M tell me.

 

[DarrenX]

I approve.

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.

I read in some tweet he has an NMC in year 3, which would have meant the only way to move off him would be a buyout.

Looks like that is the opposite, he has an NMC in years 1-2 and a limited NTC in year 3.

So they basically turned Mikheyev into Joshua and the neck of Myers.

This. I get he's the team whipping boy, but at 3x3, it's a significant discount.

 

[Jyrki]

OK, Allvin overcooked here. Myers is only a year younger than Cole, who declined a fair bit as the season went on. I'm fine with the 3M for next season but the next two could be very troublesome, specially with the worst of the OEL buyout crunching the cap. Unless the Canucks had no realistic shot at bringing over Tanev or Dillion I think the 3 years instead of 1 or 2 makes it a bit of an L.

 

[EpochLink]

Also, another reason Myers wanted to stay was family.
His son I believe gets treatment in BC, hence he doesn't want to be far from them.

Team is building a culture, lets go.
