Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] D Tyler Myers signs extension with the Canucks (3 years, $3M AAV)

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

Myers wasn't really any better last year than he was in seasons past. Sure, his raw stats improved, but that was only because the whole team improved. It was a case of a rising tide lifting all boats. I'd expected him to go to free agency and land a much better deal, as there's always at least one GM out there who overpays when signing a free agent just by looking at the raw stats. Still, as long as he's kept on the bottom pairing, the damage he can do by his misplays is minimal. I wouldn't have paid him much more than 1 or 1.5, maybe 2 if I was drunk, on a 1-2 year deal. If this means not re-signing Zadorov then it's terrible, not even remotely justifiable.

A man with a neck like that is not concerned about rising tides.

Canucks are on a roll with signings lately. Well done.

 

[Petes2424]

Imagine this same post as a “Value of” even 6 months ago!!

The responses would’ve been very, very different.

Were you drunk when you posted this?

I get if some people want to move on from Myers but claiming he's a 1.5M dollar d-man is just absurd.

Most under rated dman on the Canucks.
Good deal. Got an extra yr for cap#. NMC relaxes in yr 3 tho.

He was used as a prime defender vs the McDavids and McKinnon's of the league... His reach is disruptive af... Probably leads the league in forwards coming in on him into the zone and button hooking.

Glad he's back. Especially at that price.

How does Canucks twitter not know what fricken position Myers plays?

 

[DL44]

Bahahaha… Canucks whipping boy stays another 3 years!!!

You would think that he should have given the team a Tom Brady contract to use that cap space to win… especially with all the money he has already made from the Canucks.

Whipping boy when he makes $6 mil and signed by Benning.

But at a mere $3 mil by Alvin... All's good with Chaos Giraffe.. happy to have him back. In line to be the whipping boy is EP40 for next season.
$11.5 mil EP40.

After 3-4 years of hoping he's gone at the first possible opportunity (the last 0.75 aside), I'm actually fine with this.

A year longer than I would've liked but the money is definitely more than fair for the team.

Hes the kind of player who's value comes through more in the playoffs. His size/range with his skating ability/puck handling is nice to go into battle with.

Not to mention he's a good leader for the team, I'd be surprised if a team like Ottawa didn't have him somewhere on their radar. He'll be a good mentor to Willander I'd suspect.

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

Giving a 34 year old Myers a 3 year deal doesn't look all that great, but the $3 million AAV is pretty decent for a #4.



I don't think Myers would have realistically gotten much more than this as a UFA.

Myers could have easily gotten 4 elsewhere

 

[Vitto79]

Is he really a top 4 guy at this point? Not a bad contract though.

Nope Probably a buyout in year 3 incoming

 

[lawrence]

I didnt really want him back. I'm being honest. Maybe a 2 year deal or smaller hit but I didn't really want him back. But thatcher demko on his social media seems to really love Myers who am I to say it sucks.

Maybe they're planning to play him in that Holmstrom position next year haha

I wished, we waited until july 1st, so we can target our priorities, then offer him whatever money we have left. He was good but wasn't great. when he didn't play, our gaa was low as hell.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

I would have preferred 2.5 million and 2 years.

I actually like Myers, but he never lived up to his previous contract at any point. But he’s a well liked guy in the locker room and played decent last year. If he maintains that it’s not a disaster.

 

[NeverForget06]

Bargain deal. I'd rather have Myers at 1M for 3 years than Zadorov at 6M for 6 years.

So would Canucks fans

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Tyler Myers can't be 34... He just won the Calder!!

I get the sentiment, but maybe the Canucks know there’s no big play July 1 and we’ll see a Lindholm resigning announced soon. Doesn’t seem super likely given reporting, but not much has actually leaked from the Canucks, so who knows.

 

[TBF1972]

after having his best season in a contract year ...

 

[Caboose]

If Myers plays like he did in the playoffs this is an absolute steal. Looking at other dmen in the price range he could have easily gotten a one or two year deal at 4-4.5. That third year brought the aav down, but he still gave the Canucks a good discount.

 

[Look Up]

6'8" man gets extension, lol.

Like this deal alot for Vancouver.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Here is the first buyout of 2025

 

[lakai17]

Can't keep Zadorov so why not.

 

[BCNate]

Myers was much better in Tochhets system playing 19 mins a night than he was playing 22 without structure. 3 mil for what he bring is pretty good value when you look at comparable. Adding the 3rd year got the AAV down, and could be a potential buyout or LTIR, which is just fine. He would have easily got 4+ on the market on Monday. He is committed to seeing this through with the canucks after being a part of the rebuild. By all accounts is a well liked leader in the room. I've got no issue with this deal.

Myers is a forward.

Are you living under a rock? He came 6th in Selke votes last season.

What sport do you watch? Football? This is hockey. And I'm definitely not gaslighting anybody.
