[Vector]

This is real lol

How f***in loaded is Demmer right now

When in Vegas…

 

[Kryten]

Its bad enough that hes back at all. The term is ridiculous. f*** you Myers

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

ngl i am pretty distraught about this

i was really hoping for a second pair of zad being babysat by tanev, which obviously isn’t happening now

but also it kind of feels like when we were finally almost at the end of eriksson, beagle, and roussel’s deals and then benning traded them for umpteen years of OEL. not nearly as disastrous but the feeling is the same.

I suppose Zadorov/Tanev is still possible if we strike out on Guentzel/other big fish.

I dont like that Myers was prioritized over these guys. If you strike out on big fish or Zadorov/Tanev then you go to Myers/Dillon.

I get the guys love him, but he's been a bad case of something you couldn't get rid of with a pill for most of his contract, even acknowledging his turnaround in the second half this year

 

[nucksflailtogether]

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.

He may have cost the oilers the cup. Give him his money.

 

[lawrence]

we went through a stretch of 3 goals allowed in 4 games.

those 4 games, Myers didn't play in.

 

[tantalum]

It’s fine. Right side third pairing guy are going to be making that. Keep him sheltered and he does fine enough. Like Joshua I expect he would have received more on July 1.

His greatest moment in a Canucks’ uniform.

I admit that I watched it again ...

Keith can go eat shit.

Good hard clean hit. Unlike some of the hits that turd dished out.

 

[Soups On]

A year too long and was hoping for a little cheaper. Meh.

There is a lot of recency bias here.

For most of his contract, Myers was just a bad player, notwithstanding he was grossly overpaid.

I would much rather give Tanev $5M and get an actual legit top 4 (top 2 if you consider his defensive liability) than $3M on Myers who might regress again.

Three More Years Pause

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Ya'll should wait for what Tanev, Zadorov, etc go for before clamoring about how re-signing Myers at 3mil is bad.

By all accounts Allvin tried to re-sign Zadorov and I trust that if a deal wasn't done, it was before it was for too much.

Me coming to HF to celebrate Joshua but seeing the Myers news

He was bad for 6mil. The bias is some sort of cost/value bias. Happens all the time once a player is getting overpaid. Suddenly they become completely bad a hockey even though if they were on a better deal, everyone would be losing their minds how great they are. It's wild. At 3mil, Myers is fine. If Myers was signed to 3mil for the last several years, no one would have batted an eye.

People also seem to think there's an infinite pile of defensemen available, that the ones that are would simply come for a ballpark number that works. Maybe Zadorov has priced himself out, who know what Tanev wants to do, etc. There's just a handful of capable dmen available and half the league vying for them.

first one I don't love. Should have been two years max.

 

[tradervik]

Myers can’t defend odd man rushes, he can get discombobulated in his defensive zone coverage, he can be over-aggressive, and he can take stupid penalties. On the plus side, he is in great shape, still has decent mobility, is right handed, plays hard, and his teammates appear to like him. He also seems to be less vulnerable to brain cramps in Tocchet’s system and with coach Foote telling him what to do via remote control. IMO not a contract we can love but maybe one we can tolerate.

Considering Ian Cole was $3M, I think Myers brings a lot more to the table than Cole plus being an actual RHD on the right side.

ian cole was our second best dman in the first round then fell apart in the second after he had his ankle shredded

Cole has infinitely more miles on him than Myers does due to his playoff experience. He has 129 playoff games to Myers 61 playoff games. The dude has been through it. He has play 10+ playoff games in 4 of the past 7 seasons. He's a bloody beast for somehow tossing in another 13 playoff games last year at 35.

Honestly, Myers was just flat out bad, period, at times. He does really weird things way too often. Like a really tall Jan Bulis on D.

They can still get tanev, Myers at 3m won't stop that. Zadorov at 5 would have...

I am no Myers fan but if you can get a tanev then I can see why they went this direction.
