Value of: Tyler Myers

[Yukon Joe]

I think you are on the right track here, JetsHomer. The Jets said in their statement the following: "...still represents an important part of the future of our club." - referring to Trouba. Reading between the lines, that suggests to me a trade of Myers may be more likely. Myers is healthy and feeling great.

"still represents an important part of the future of the club" could also refer to the value they think he'll return in a trade.

Don't really think Reinhart has any more value than a 3rd round pick.

That's fine, we will keep him then. No reason to throw away good young players who haven't hit their stride yet.

He's not good though

Don't really think Reinhart has any more value than a 3rd round pick.

He went for a 1st and a 2nd a year ago, no way playing a year in the AHL as a second year pro sees his value reduced that much. Some teams may value him at that but some may still see him as having 1st rounder value, he had some really effective games last year while called up. He's also reportedly improved his skating quite a bit in the offseason. He's still a prospect, dmen are far from finished at 21. We'll see how he does as a 22 year old this season.

Uh...you know Myers just had major surgery, right?
That's too much for what amounts to a giant question mark.

Such major surgery that he was skating within 10 weeks.

The Oilers massively overpaid for him. Barzal alone is worth more.

Maybe something around Martinez & Nolan/Andreoff for Myers & Lowry with picks to make up fair value. hope it's not an unfair proposal.

I wouldn't trade Reinhart for Barzal if I'm Peter Chiarelli today. He'd immediately be fourth on the depth chart and be well behind the eight ball of ever improving that. Not to mention he isn't exactly known for being a dynamite two-way forward.

The Oilers traded two picks for a position of need. That hasn't changed, regardless of who was picked in that draft.

Wrong thread

I would offer Pearson + Shore or Dowd + Clifford or Nolan for Myers + Lowry.

 

[Maukkis]

I would offer Pearson + Shore or Dowd + Clifford or Nolan for Myers + Lowry.

Because we need forwards.

Myers straight up for Fowler.

If they felt like Myers was more movable than Trouba, then Trouba would have been playing ahead of Myers. It's really just that simple.

 

[trebendan]

"still represents an important part of the future of the club" could also refer to the value they think he'll return in a trade.

Yes, it could mean that as well. However, I don't think the Jets will cave in to Trouba's trade request just because he wants out. Apparently, E. Kane asked for a trade every off-season and never got it until the tracksuit incident, so it might take several years, too, for Trouba to be granted a trade out of Wpg.

I think it's Myers that may end up getting traded in the short term.

 

[grewalwings]

What are Winnipeg's needs?

 

[BrianFromAIH]

Myers straight up for Fowler.

This has been rumored to have been in the works between Buffalo/Anaheim before the Kane trade. I take it.

 

[gwh]

Edmonton - Needs more RHD

Carolina - Myers gets paid 4, 3.5, 3 for 3 years with 5.5 caphit.

That is 2mil gains for to reach the cap floor, plus a great player.

 

[Curufinwe]

Myers straight up for Fowler.

That doesn't helps the Ducks cap situation or their expansion draft situation.

 

[Jetsetter]

Don't really think Reinhart has any more value than a 3rd round pick.

Especially with his contract.

 

[Batrous]

Doesn't Myers still have a limited ntc in his current contract? If so that would impact the value.

 

[belair]

Especially with his contract.

He's on an entry level contract.

And if he's as mediocre as people tend to think he is, there isn't a chance in hell he hits those bonuses.

 

[allan5oh]

What are Winnipeg's needs?

LHD
Draft picks

Can't see us really going for anything else.

 

[Hunter368]

Myers straight up for Fowler.

Wow a Fowler trade I don't mind, that's more fair.

 

[A91]

He's not good though

Because you've seen him play how many times exactly?

 

[Moon Man]

Since Trouba has requested a trade and Myers hasn't, I'd rather keep Myers and trade Trouba.

Even if trading Myers would allow us to keep and play Trouba, I'd still rather keep Myers.

I think it would destroy the locker room if you start trading away players to keep the one who requested the trade in the first place.
