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

[Russian_fanatic]

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.

Here's the thing if the decision is Tanev or Zadorov, I take Tanev 10/10.

Tanev is a legit top 4 defenseman, a RHD, and he has chemistry with our best player, which allows us to put Hronek down the line up.

Zaddy is a fine player, but he's a #5 defenseman. He plays like a top 4 defenseman at times, and at the other times he plays like a bottom pairing guy. On a team with Soucy, he honestly seems so expendable.

I'd be fine with Tanev making 5 million, Zaddy at 5 million is honestly a stretch.

Allvin putting the pressure on Zadorov to sign a team friendly deal and keep the gang together

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.

Tanev + Zad + Toffoli

Would be my 3 targets

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

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

Lol

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Would have liked it under 3M but like everyone else, we're splitting hairs. It seems all the more likely Zadorov is gone though. Especially if we're chasing Guentzel.

 

[MS]

Fascinating.

I thought Myers might be gone as they pushed for Zadorov/Tanev but guessing they know they aren’t getting one/both of those guys.

WTF do you need media availability with Myers...

 

[Lindgren]

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

There's a sense in which it feels to me like a bet on Adam Foote.

 

[Bonham]

Not great, not terrible.

Would have hoped for 2 years and under $3M but definitely not realistic considering the market these days.

Things looking a bit tight all of a sudden. They have approximately $15M to round out the roster, which includes a top-six forward, second pairing defender, fourth line center, and a backup goaltender.

Hopefully Tanev REALLY misses Vancouver and is willing to leave some money on the table. It certainly sounds like the market is going to price him out.

 

[Vector]

WTF do you need media availability with Myers...

It’s very silly but they had media with Blueger and Hronek too. Joshua is unavailable so nothing for him.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Two years for Myers would have been enough. That said, Myers played his best year, although it was a contract year.

 

[orcatown]

In the structured game that Tocchet has them playing Myers is more than fine. Indeed, was very good in the playoffs.

Getting a more than very decent NHL defenseman with the kind of size and durability Myers has shown at 3 mill. is solid. Would have got more in free agency so left some money on the table. People thinking he would come back for less were ridiculously optomistic although a argument could be made the third year is questionable.

For years Myers has been paired with near rookies and in many cases absolute trash and tried to do too much. In the present situation he is a good fit. If they can get Zadorov back the present defense will be the strongest element of the team. I'd say even ahead of the goal tending.

 

[TruGr1t]

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.

I believe you lost our avatar bet.

 

[ahmon]

Not the biggest fan of Myers - despise defensemen who are mistake prone.

Would have preferred to go another direction, but the cap hit is low enough that there isn't too much pain.

3M is like the going rate of a # 5, and Myers while mistake prone, is a passable 5.

Ideally should have went with a less experienced dman and used the cap towards the top of the lineup.

Not going to assume the good Myers that showed up in the playoffs is what we can expect going forward - small sample size.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

3m is fine

3 years is not

though im assuming that he wont finish the final year

 

[Aphid Attraction]

I was hoping to not have Myers on the team, he is a wiping boy in my own head.
But the RHD market justifies signing him. (I assume Im on holiday)

 

[Vector]

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Eh, I'm fine with this deal. He seemed to have had a bit of a renaissance under Tocchet et al. so hopefully this continues.

I really hope this doesn't mean Zadorov is out, though. I'd still like to have him stick around.

I don't think Tanev or Toffoli should be players of interest for the Canucks, much as I love Tanev.

 

[TruGr1t]

Sat noted one of the reasons they wanted Myers back was his work on the PK.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

2x3 would be fine, but for a 3rd year that AAV feels steep.

 

[hellstick]

I don't mind Myers at 3M, 6M was a stretch though. 3 years though? I don't know about that one.

I bet this means Zadorov is leaving.

 

[PavelBure10]

I don't hate it. Would of preferred a 2 year deal. The price is right though for the chaos giraffe who played insanely well this season as a Canuck. Welcome back to the rib breaker.

 

[Hansen]

Not a fan of this signing

Of all our FAs Myers was the one you lean on the hardest. He should have been a 2x2 to stay

 

[Hansen]

This is real lol

How f***in loaded is Demmer right now

 

[valkynax]

Not a fan of this signing

Normally I'd hate something like this, but his elevated game in playoffs and near the end of the season probably justified this.

Not the best contract, but one I can live with. If the AAV starts with a 4 I would be VERY concerned.
