Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign D Tyler Myers to 5-Year, $30m Deal ($6m AAV)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think we can give this signing its own thread now.

Discuss.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I dont know how anyone can be anything but relieved

 

[m9]

Not good.

 

[Lindgren]

If that's the contract, and if there's no movement protection, would Myers be tradeable tomorrow, or would he have negative value?

 

[JimmyJiveJones]

im pretty relieved with that term and caphit

 

[Captain Bowie]

It can't be confirmed yet...

But 5x6 is incredibly better than what I was expecting/fearing.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

I can live with this, seems like its market value.

Much better than the worst possible outcome of 7x7. Like loosing two fingers instead of two eyes.

 

[m9]

Negative, like 90% of UFA deals.

 

[opendoor]

That $8M rumor was obviously a calculated leak to either drive up his price or to make the eventual contract look better. I suspect it'll succeed in the latter, even if it's still a bad contract.

 

[Bgav]

It's still bad. Hope he proves me wrong

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

That’s a lot of money for a #4
Bad deal, but Jim makes a lot of stupid moves on July 1 so I’m used to it by now

 

[Canucker]

No bueno...but it could be worse, we still don’t know if he has a full NMC or NTC (other than the contract itself).

 

[Diamonddog01]

Awful. Which people will agree with in November.

 

[just22]

Just because it could’ve been worse doesn’t mean it’s still not a terrible contract.

 

[me2]

If that's the contract, and if there's no movement protection, would Myers be tradeable tomorrow, or would he have negative value?

only for another high priced player of similar level.

 

[me2]

How standards have changed over the last few year from "wooohooo! great deal." to "wooohooo! it could have been so much worse."

 

[Yultron]

This is a good move and fills a huge need for a top 4 defenseman , thought for sure it would be a lot higher but since Myers wanted to come here I figure this is a discounted contract

If we had signed Karlsson for what the Sharks did us Canucks fans would of been irate and would of been livid with Jimbo but I can live with this and am relieved by the term

 

[TruGr1t]

I think the major takeaway is that Myers obviously targeted Vancouver and wanted to play here. To the point he may have been able to squeeze a bit more out of the market in terms of AAV and term.

Seems like he basically didn't even really talk to other teams. The contract is within median market range probably. Maybe cut a year and a few $100k.

You guys will legit hate him. I mean no disrespect as I was a Canucks fan before the Jets came back but this guy is truly terrible in every sense of the word.

I never cared for this player and loathe him now. Vastly overpaid pilon. Most Jets fans are overjoyed they didn’t sign this albatross contract, and rightfully so.

Most of us already know. Too bad our brain dead GM doesn’t

 

[EpochLink]

I was hoping for the worst of 7 years at 8 million, but I think I I said earlier 5 years at 6.5
But 5 years at 6 million isn't too bad...eh it is what it is.
We got that Ed Jovanovski big man defensemen which has lacked since 2006..

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Not good
But, it's not to the level where I want to smash my laptop

 

[iFan]

Interesting, you’d think other teams would have been in on him for that contract as for July 1st UFA that’s ok, not that I agree with the signing.
