Player Discussion Tyler Myers thread

[Disappointed EP40]

Can't . . .

. . . help . . .

. . . myself . . .

I need this put to this music.

 

[Bankerguy]

He's not used to generate offense, not used as a shut down guy, he's used as a kind of do-it-all stabilizing solid dman. He's probably not worth the cap hit, but generally speaking he's a hell and i mean A HELL of an upgrade over Gudbranson or Pouliot. Like, having Myers over Guds/Pouliott over 82 games would legit get your team 8 - 10 points , maybe more over the course of a season, maybe more.

 

[VancouverJagger]

Yeah certainly not the tire fire that many of the more notable pessimists on this board promised that he would be. In retrospect it's probably a good thing he came advertised as that as he really had no-where to go but up.

 

[I am toxic]

"Bowling Ball" Myers is definitely an upgrade from "Tire Fire" Myers.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

I appreciate Tyler Myers

 

[Nomobo]

Looks good out there with that 10 foot reach. Can play a physical game too. All in all, along with Hughes and Benn, a great upgrade on the back end.
Good job Benning!

Fully willing to admit I was 100% wrong about this player. He wasn't playing hard minutes in winnipeg last year and I weighed that too heavily in making assumptions about the player. His d partners were garbage last year as well and now he gets to play with Edler who is *mostly* a steady stabilizing force on the backend.

Ya. It's called defensive pairings for a reason. Edler and Myers have been good together. With that said, Edler is probably extremely underrated around here as seemingly everyone is better with Edler than without.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Yeah...

Im going to eat crow on this one.

Myers has been far better for us than I expected. My Hutton comparison looks absolutely stupid right now.

 

[sting101]

Should be an emotional night for him tonight.
Him and Miller have had big positive impacts to date. Hope it keeps going and would be nice to see him get a goal soon

 

[Canucks5551]

Put me in the camp that misjudged Myers. I think his partners in Winnipeg must have dragged down his numbers more than I thought because he’s looked very solid here.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

He’s above average in all 3 zones. Good offensively and has decent speed for a big guy. Like what I see, makes the odd error here and there but brings so much to the table that it’s not an issue, effective player.

 

[Zombotron]

The crowd reminding us his numbers were torpedoed by Kulikov(?) can probably take a big W

 

[sting101]

So far i am 100% correct about Myers.........so finally there's something to brag about.

In all seriousness i thought i must have missed a lot of his really bad games the way people were describing him because he is playing as i saw him without as much scoring as i had hoped, but i feel like that will come.

Its a long contract though so there will be some rough roads ahead. Lets just hope he keeps skating as well as he has so we can keep the top4 shored up. We have almost nothing in the system in terms of top4 guys and very soon will have 3 30+ yr olds

Never eat crow in November.

Crow is a February food.

Nah, crows are easier to catch in late October and November. Cheaper to eat crow in late October and November.

 

[Pip]

Where did his offense go?

 

[perrykaravello]

Where did his offense go?

On pace for 15 points.

Has a career average of 34 points per season over 82 games.

I think he's been horrendous defensively and doesn't shoot the puck at all. Two primary points all season and is getting over 21 minutes a game.

Too late – it was decided in the first month of a five-year contract that all the data was wrong.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Where did his offense go?

He doesn't get much PP time, and ES scoring is down across the board. His outlet passes are hitting a significantly less talented group of forwards in Vancouver than they were in Winnipeg.

But but but 30 points and and and

 

[Breakers]

Appreciation thread.
The other team sure does appreciate his unforced icings allowing the other team to get their rested top line over the boards.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Try him with Hughes or even Benn
Edler has been sucking for the past three weeks
