Rumor: [Garrioch] Toronto "Kicking Tires" on Tyler Myers

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Take Mike Reilly for free instead.

This is Dubas we’re talking about. Could see him shipping out their 1st for Myers. Defence version of Foligno trade.

Nah Foligno was at one point a good player. Myers never has been.

He’s not good anymore sooooo

He never was

 

[Jay26]

Oh man, dare I hope this to be true?

In all seriousness I can see why certain teams might target him. He has the potential to do well in the right situation (partner, system). It's not like he's overall unable to play hockey. Maybe Toronto genuinely thinks he can work for them.

He never was

Winning the Calder his first year, finishing 15in Norris his rookie season and 16 the year after proves he was good once and had potential to be great. Then he just, didn't become as good as once hoped. Then we signed him. He had a good last couple years though. and was actually a rock for us in our playoff stint.

 

[Big Muddy]

Garrioch, Seravalli, Friedman, Dreger......they all do it.

Must be effective.

I've barely ever seen Garrioch speculate about anyone to Toronto.

Garrioch has contacts outside of the Senators organization? That's novel.

 

[Magic Man]

2nd + prospect.

I landed on Mikko Kokkonen (3rd rd. pick, struggling to start this season, but under contract, so it's one in and one out) + Ottawa's 3rd (Should be a top-75 pick) and posted that on the Leafs board earlier. So, I'm in the right ball park. The Leafs are out their 2nd next season and the one in 2025 is likely gone as well. So, I think they'd try and guard that pick, even if only to have something else to dangle at the deadline. But, not unrealistic to see it used here too.

Kicking tires on Tyler Myers? Sounds like a rhyming game. What’s the next rumour? Trade brewin’ for Zack MacEwan? Phones are buzzin’ for Jacob Muzzin? Get the lube, they’re trading Zub?

 

[General Disarray]

Um what asset is Vancouver attaching for us to take him?

With any luck maybe Toronto just wants him haha. Instead of taking him as a favor.

Myers is no a longer a burden contract. He was good last year. Would be a solid addition to any team right now.

Thats not true at all. Myers is overpaid and isn't a very good defender.

 

[Jerkbait]

Vancouver in sell off mode. What are the leafs willing to give up for underwhelming Tyler Myers?

3rd

 

[Funk21]

Just what we need a Pylon making 6 million per. Ummmmm noooooooooo thanks!

 

[BlamBlam]

Oh hell yes

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

How does Myers do anything for the Leafs?

Gets things from the really high shelves.

 

[Hoglander]

Gets things from the really high shelves.

and gives the PK a lot of practice

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Garrioch is as reliable as Gord Stellick. In fact I believe Gord is more creditable.

 

[David71]

myers for 2nd rounder 2022/23 if they have for kerfoot/holl?

 

[BWJM]

He'd be great if he had some decent Hockey IQ. Very frustrating player.

Turnover machine, tends to think clearing it up the middle is the best idea. Takes a lot of bad penalties. Just a ton of bone head mistakes. It really is his downfall.

The pros - he can eat a lot of minutes, goes through spurts that make you think he's good. Likeable person. RHD.

Canucks need to start clearing some cap. Start with Myers... then go straight to Pearson.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

A pair of 2nds from Toronto going to Vancouver who would retain 10% on Myers would work out for both sides, as his contract goes into next year too

10% isn't enough

myers for a pair of 2nds and sandin?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Namikaze Minato]

myers for 2nd rounder 2022/23 if they have for kerfoot/holl?

The wrong team is adding picks in that situation. Kerfoot is much much more valuable than Myers and Holl is likely more valuable based on his contract expiring alone.

 

[Menzinger]

I don't see a fit, unless it's 50% retention for future considerations. But even then, I don't think the Leafs would want him necessarily on the books still for next season

 

[PB37]

These tires wouldn't happen to be on fire, would they?

 

[AHLdepth]

Nah Foligno was at one point a good player. Myers never has been.

Ummm I'm sorry could you check who won the 2009/2010 Calder for me real quick? Get ready to eat some serious crow

 

[PromisedLand]

instead of kicking tires i'd like to kick the person that started this rumor.

no thanks
