Sorry guys, false alarm, Dubas has said Knies and Toronto's 1st are out of play. There is no other trade that can be made!

/s

 

[bossram]

TFP isn't a source. He has essentially random speculation.

I see no world where the Leafs look at Tyler Myers.

 

[topched88]

but why

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

but why

Exactly. They need a point man for the PP like Chychrun.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Scouting report: He’s really tall!

 

[TheDoldrums]

The 4th period is Eklund in a nicer coat of paint. Not credible.

 

[Deeds26]

Scouting report: He’s really tall!

And creates chaos, good and bad.

 

[Three On Zero]

That would be an odd trade, wonder what Canucks would get

 

[MoreMogilny]

But why. Surely the Leafs can spend assets on a worthwhile addition

 

[HockeyVirus]

Again I say, the Leafs are interested in everyone. Seriously they are in every single rumor haha

 

[Breakers]

If this happens it would go down as the biggest shock trade personally from my stand point

Myers is franking TERRIBLE

 

[dirtydanglez]

this is the most leaf thing i read all year.

I could see a Garland and Myers package actually if the combined salary made sense...So some retention. Return would probably be some cap going back like Kerfoot and then some prospects and a few draft picks.. Likely something like a 2nd + 4th + kerfoot + b prospect for Garland @2.5 AAV + Myers

In the offseason Leafs can flip Myers for a year to someone, he is big and can skate. Leafs add a guy they think can be a top6 scorer for cheap for several years

Well you would need a ton of Cap to come back from the Leafs.
Myers has a cap of 6m per year.

The only way you get value from Myers is if the Canucks decide to Retain a significant amount of cap, Which could be a problem since he has 1 more year left.

If they plan to "Tank" Then eating 2 or 3 this and next year is fine.

Kerfoot is the guy I think the Leafs could add as a cap Dump, But he is only 1 year.
Pierre Engvall is another guy that could be in the deal, Again he is only signed for 1 year.

I don't see anybody else.

Something like Kerfoot + Engvall + 2nd for Myers (Retain 2m)
I just don't see how this makes sense or works for the leafs.

 

[canuckking1]

I seriously doubt that. Myers is that last player Dubas and the leafs would be looking at.

How much cap do the Leafs have this year anyways?
How can they afford Myers + Garland at 2.5m

Garland at 3.5 years left at 5m.

There is NO chance the canucks will retain 3.5 more years of Garland at 50% (2.5m x 3.5) Unless Multiple picks come back, Including a first.

Garland is a good player, at 2.5m thats ridiculous value.

Myers is ASS

 

[Canucks LB]

Myers is ASS

I have seen many players that were Awful and suddenly get traded to a "Good / Great" Team and suddenly play much better.

Matheson is a good example, and Gudbranson in Calgary (Not so much CBJ)

vancouver isn't going to retain 50% for 3 and 1/2 years. the cost would be through the roof for the leafs too.

 

[PuckFather]

but why

Likely the cost of acquiring Chychrun is too high, but just can’t see how Myers could help the Leafs

Myers peaked when he won rookie of the year.
Guys been collecting checks since.
