This has nothing to do with what I or Jyrki21 was talking about.LMAO what?
Renaud Lavoie said the Myers contract would be north of $7M: Renaud Lavoie: Tyler Myers contract could be north of $7-million - Sportsnet.ca
Pierre Lebrun said"he’s worth around $6.5-million to $7-million a season on a six- to seven-year deal": LeBrun Notebook: After some time to reflect, Lightning GM...
He really hasn't been half as bad as the nutters are suggesting. Actually he's been quite decent. The defense is a lot better in transition compared to last year, and bless Quinn Hughes for his godlike ability in that category, but Myers has proven to be a good fit for the system too. Very adept at using his legs in open ice.
If it's your stated opinion both that 1) there's no evidence the Canucks are floating rumours of higher contracts and that 2) there's no way to infer whether they are or not from anything anyone has said, why are you suggesting it's likely the Canucks are floating rumours of higher contract numbers?
Journalists generally preface their opinions and hear say or rumours differently so this is moot anyway. But by that same logic we could never know or not know if information was leaked by the Canucks. What's your point? This was given as proof the Canucks floated the 7X7 numbers.
He isn't saying it proves that, it isn't what he's trying to argue, and you know it. He's contradicting the implication that the team likely did leak the higher numbers, which most posters in this thread are putting forth despite their being no reason to believe it's true and which you're making every effort to passively defend.
I think Edler is too slow now at either end of the rink especially when he’s overplayed and his decision making suffers because of it. He’s often late to react and has no choice but to take a penalty or throw the puck away. He still has games where he shines but his status as best overall defender is waning imo, I see Hughes as a better option. Way more suited to how the game is evolving. I’d like to see a Hughes-Myers pairing for a few games.
In the very post you quoted, I said "but I don't think they're really self-aware enough to do it for real." I referred to us joking about this possibility in the summer. So as usual, I'm not sure what your beef is.
Good call! Looked much better against Washington. Still love Eddy, but you could see him use his reach and skating more and be a bit more aggressive on a different pairing.
My thoughts exactly. He is what he is. He's at best a #5 on a good NHL team, and a top-four guy on a mediocre one. The only GM in the league who couldn't or wouldn't see it is Jimbo.
Quinn Hughes might be able to make him look passable.
