Tyler Myers Appreciation Thread

[PhilJets]

I may be in the minority, but $6M a year, for five years is not a bad signing, especially in comparison to the Kulikov contract.

6M is not a bad deal at 5yrs.

I think Jets would have done that deal if there is cap space.

Its too bad they cant move some contracts.
Maybe they tried? No takers....


Myers was so open to staying too.
So i don't understand - if there was any talk at all or none.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Chances are almost non existent that the Jets will resign Myers. This is a thread to show your appreciation for Myers, who played for the Jets from Feb 2015 until now.

You're jumping the gun on an appreciation thread.

But it's official now.

 

[Revolver]

It’s official now. TSN app.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Beyak will be heartbroken that TylerMyers (never Myers) is getting traded. He's running out of players who he always calls by their full name.

I wish Myers the best, he fought hard through injury and helped this team reach the next level. He seems like a genuinely good dude that wanted to be here. I hope he and his family love Vancouver.

 

[Guffman]

Good leader, nice guy. Arguably, our best d-man in our WCF playoff run.

GL in Van!

 

[bustamente]

Last time I will be able to use this, thanks for the memories good and bad

 

[Jet]

What a great guy, and a very underrated player around here. I'll miss his long strides and surprisingly elusive work with the puck in the offensive zone. Hopefully we can find someone who is more composed in our own zone to replace him.

Good luck Condor!

 

[mazmin]

He found his game in Winnipeg after Buffalo, but rarely got to be "the guy." With top minutes and PP time in Vancouver he will probably put up career numbers at some point over the next 5 years.

Good guy. Played hard. Thanks Tyler Myers!

Does this mean no more giraffe talk? :...(

 

[Mud Turtle]

Does this mean no more giraffe talk? :...(

Just two reasons to be sad.
1) Seemed like a genuinely nice guy who really liked playing here.

2) His departure makes GDT’s so much harder to put together!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Good guy, good heart, played well with the Jets, wish him all the best in Vancouver.

I'll give him a standing ovation when he comes back. Nobody should boo him.

 

[Board Bard]

Logan Stanley to the rescue.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Played his heart out for the team; that is all anyone can ask. The first year of his new contract (after taxes) should allow him and his family to pay for a nice 1200 square foot house in Vancouver. He will get a warm reception on his return to the 'Peg.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Underrated. That contract is not something id do but best of luck.. 2 many bonus money. They gonna eliminate that next lockout.. Its coming

 

[Babooch]

Good luck SixFootEightTylerMyers you served the Jets well.

 

[Neuf]

Signed for 1-1.5MM less than rumored, and 2 years less.

Another year or million bucks and Jets could have been in

 

[wpgallday1960]

Good luck in Vancouver, Tyler. If Jets were cap strapped 5X$6M would have been ok here, but can’t afford him at that hit.

 

[AKAChip]

Signed for 1-1.5MM less than rumored, and 2 years less.

Thank god they had the sense to not give that extra million or year.

 

[Channelcat]

Great team guy! Glad he got his health together and hope he does well in Van. He will be missed.

 

[SUX2BU]

Best of luck, giraffe

Enjoy that feed in Vancouver and watch out for sasquatches .....

 

[Ducky10]

Enjoy BC Giraffe. You drove me bonkers defending and moving the puck but you had dangles and seemed like a stand up dude. That contract is too rich for the Jets right now and that's probably for the best.

 

[Skidooboy]

I loved this guy and his playing....never understood the vitriol of a lot of posters here.

Good Luck Tyler and family.

 

[scelaton]

Very happy for Myers, but a little sad also, almost wistful.

The major pieces of our biggest trade ever are scattered all over the continent. And, of all of them--Tyler, Kane, Bogo, Lemieux-- the only player (and contract) I would willingly take back is Armia.

 

[Lars65]

Good luck Tyler, stand up guy, a good soldier. Not your fault you're not worth what some will pay you.

But vitriol? I haven't seen a criticized Jets player receive more balanced criticism on HF than him. Wheeler gets at least 6 times the vitriol, and is far closer in value to his contract than Myers.

Well, we still have a Buffalo and now Ponk ......
