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

[ProviesGhost]

Redeemed himself (mostly) in my eyes last year, still moves well and likely would’ve gotten more on the open market. I’m neither annoyed or excited about this, but it is nice to not have half the team new next year.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Also, another reason Myers wanted to stay was family.
His son gets terrific care in the province, hence he doesn't want to be far from them.

Team is building a culture, lets go.

Then he should've signed for less

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I get and understand why they did but I don't like it. I would have waited for the defence market to shake out before I signed Myers because you know he wanted to be back. This seems premature for really no reason. It should have been lower than $3 Million too.

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.

Yes, exactly. This is one of those moves that evokes an immediate reaction from the fanbase and will play out exactly like how we think it will over the course of the contract.

Like I get why they did it and he’s liked in the room, but man the term and dollars…

It just wouldn't be the same on this board without Myers on the team.

 

[krutovsdonut]

i think at this point they have re-signed hronek, blueger, joshua and myers for $900k more cap space than last year.

that's not bad.

capfirnedly currently shows no signing bonuses for myers. not sure if that is confirmed but if it is this is not expensive to buyout.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Sign Tanev + Zaddy for 5 million each. And you can get a winger for EP for around 5 million

Hughes-Tanev
Soucy-Hronek
Zadorov-Myers
Reserves: Juulsen, Friedman

Is a solid defense.

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

3 more years baby!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I honestly hoped for a two year deal at that price but I get the feeling that the free agent market for D lis going to surprise a lot of people. I think Tanev is going to get a huge deal from someone if he hits the market.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Little surprised it's 3 years and not 2 but he's a physical freak apparently so should age well. The bands coming together again just Z and a sniper for wing left.

First off-season move I don't like

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

Hughes-Tanev
Soucy-Hronek
Zadorov-Myers
Reserves: Juulsen, Friedman

Is a solid defense.

I don't think Tanev can command 5 million at his age. His last deal was 4.5 and he's turning 35 this year, so I think 4/yr at 3 years is more than fair at this point.

Prefer a more well rounded team as well, and adding a legitimate top 6 winger is a huge upgrade over Mikheyev, doesn’t have to be a Superstar.

3 more years of watching Myers block a shot like he got blasted with a double barrel shotgun, only to come back on the next shift

3 more years of:

"WTF Myers?"
"LOL Myers on his ass on that goal against!"
"How the f*** did Myers get a breakaway???"
"Dumb giraffe penalty!"

 

[MikeK]

Guy was huge in the playoffs. He was so good I shudder to think how bad of shape this team would have been in had he went down with an injury. I'll go against the grain of the nay-sayers here and say that this deal is a solid one for the team. He's a legitimate top 4 Dman who can log minutes. Maybe in term a year too long, but at $3M per I think it's a bargain. I personally think the Canucks front office are killing it so far. I'm pretty happy.

 

[sting101]

Don't like the term but you can bet your ass that he could have gotten more. Kept the AAV low so they can make it work. Hope he can stay at 80-90% of last year and it's a bargain if so

Love thisssss

 

[Britton]

The deal is structured in such a way that I don't mind the third year and Myers is actually good value at 3m. The dude literally put his balls on the line in the playoffs and played very well all season. I think the only thing this means for Vancouver is that Tanev probably isn't going to be coming here unless big Z walks but it shouldn't effect Guentzel.

Sure, but we need an actual top 6 winger to play with Petey.

As with Hronek, you're taking Ls (in value) when creating redundancy on the right side.

@alternate I was off by 1 signing lol. Damn you Joshua.

 

[TruKnyte]

Term is a little long. Really depends on which version of Myers we get next year.
