Seravalli: Potential for Tyler Myers to San Jose (for Kevin Labanc?)

[StickShift]

Latest update from July 3rd:



Roughly transcribed:

"I believe the Canucks have had a deal on the table for Tyler Myers for weeks now [...] I don't know what the hold is for how long it has lingered out there. But I think the Canucks, and I believe it's the San Jose Sharks, have talked about Tyler Myers. I don't know where that is going, but something to keep an eye on. A lot of people are assuming because of the signing bonus that it is impossible to make a trade. Not sure that is the case." —Seravelli

RE: the hold-up described... my speculation:

• Could be waiting for the Tyler Myers signing bonus to be paid this off-season
• Could be waiting for EK65 to be traded
• Could be waiting for Vancouver to see which (if any) defensemen they can sign in free agency
• Could be San Jose's pro-scouting staff throwing up a red flag... unless they are seeking a tank commander?

Ahhhh yes, Myers coming into that locker room to be a tank commander.

I would pay to have a front seat to see the look Karlsson and Couture give him if that was the case.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

That's "Gold Medalist for Team Canada" Tyler Myers thank you very much.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

Not gonna say no to that.

 

[Bgav]

Tyler Myers the greatest giraffe to ever play hockey

He’d be EK replacement after bonus is paid. It’s contingent on EK being traded

"maybe there will be a unique or fresh take on Tyler Myers in this thread" - me, an idiot

San Jose still needs high picks, Myers helps with that. I see the logic.

 

[Breakers]

Strongest Neck this side of the Mississippi


But again
nothing is happening till that idiotic is bonus is paid.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Overpaid by about 6 millions dollar

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Overpaid by about 6 millions dollar

Is he a little overpaid? Yes
Do you overpay for RHD with size? Yes
Is he a legit NHL Defenseman? Yes

Myers can play second pairing with a better partner, he just can't carry the 2nd pairing.

 

[joestevens29]

Wouldn't his NTC also be a potential issue?

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

He is terrible and was named our tank commander for a reason. He’s barely a bottom pairing defenceman now.

 

[matt trick]

Good thing he'll be carrying our first. Top 4: Ferraro, Knyzhov, Myers, and Banning....might be the worst team in history.

 

[Hoglander]

If the sharks are serious about having the 1st pick in the 2024 draft, they should be all over this.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He would not be an EK replacement in ANY way.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

What a could have been, if "hockey guys" would have let him just be a slick skating offensive defensemen who happened to be tall. Instead of defaulting to "big guy go crunch".

 

[M2Beezy]

People and especially Canucks fans love to shit on Myers but he is EASILY a top 180 dman in this league ffs

How quicky people forgot he was a +3 that one game. Smh my head.

 

[Pure West]

He's at least good enought to be playing in this league. If he was making 3-4 million, I'm not sure we would have to be paying his signing bonus or attaching a pick to trade him. I think at the trade deadline, with his signing bonus in the rearview and just ~250k in actual dollars remaining to be paid he may get us a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

I still think if his bonus is paid he's going to be a relatively attractive piece to a tankathon team that wants some NHL players that don't cost much real money and helps them get to the floor. If Chicago willingly signs Foligno for 4 million (in real and cap dollars), seems like Myers for 6 (1 million in real dollars) would be pretty attractive no?

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

I mean, who doesn't like Giraffes?

 

[Cas]

He would not be an EK replacement in ANY way.

Maybe he'll get assigned #65. You never know.

Calder trophy!

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Myers was decent as a Jet

 

[pth2]

I wonder if there wouldn't be a market for Myers to Montreal once Edmundson is moved, for Dvorak, who seems to fill a need in Vancouver.

Myers+3d rounder for Dvorak?
