Player Discussion Tyler Myers thread

Tyler Myers’ name is almost “Tire Fire”

 

[CanuckleBerry]

A tall version of Keith Ballard.

Ugh, yes. We all just wish he could be a tall version of Willie Mitchell. He has all the tools. He would be an absolute wall. He just doesn't seem to have that in him.

Ballard could throw some mean hip checks. I rember he destroyed Hordichuk . Hordi was on the Oilers and was talking smack about the canucks before the game. In Ballard case i think it was more that AV did not like him at all. He did not fit the system.

 

[Breakers]

It’s close, but I’m going to lean towards this being a worse contract than Eriksson

No. Ballard had some mental issues.

One of the beat reporters noted it.


And there is an article from his Uni newspaper alluding to it.

I am definitely calling him Tyre Fyres from now on.

 

[Nucker101]

He's lucky Loui Eriksson and to an extent, Virtanen are still on this team to soak up all the criticism. Once Eriksson is gone, he's going to get way more attention from the fans for being overpaid.

 

[canucksfan]

He's in the second year of his contract and it's already a horrendous contract. If he played up to his cap hit for four of the five years and the last year he played like he is now, that would be acceptable.

I always wondered if it was Tyler Minors because he takes so many minor penalties or if it was because he belonged in the minors.

It's both.

Like.

I also learned today that some people have called him “Tyler Minors” before for his propensity to sit for two minutes or less

 

[VanJack]

Tyler 'tire fire' Myers....I like that one. It's stomach-churning to think of what this contract is going to look like by the time it's in the last couple of years. But Louie Eriksson is giving us an idea of what lies ahead.

It's both.

it takes skill to be top 3 in the playoffs in minors

despite playing 2 less playoff series.

not many guys are capable of doing that
Maybe Sam Bennett

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Dudes a garbage can.

 

[mathonwy]

Dude shouldn't be playing top minutes but here we are.

 

[Diamonddog01]

It's imperative the Canucks get Seattle to take Myers in the expansion draft - it will obviously take a sweetener but that should be the top priority this off-season.

Maybe we can get one past them and try jake

Jake and Myers gone in one swoop?!

Don't give me false hope like that

We should really stop playing him so much so people dont figure out just how bad he is. Id be annoyed if he made half his salary ffs

 

[Hyzer]

Played 25 minutes tonight and got dumpstered. Like it wasn't even close.

Only the second year and he's a trash contract. Like Stecher is better than this man and we just cast him off.

It's not by chance that hes getting ventilated more often. He's starting way more often in the defensive zone compared to last year where other defenders took the harder defensive zone starts (Stecher had 60% defensive zone starts last year btw, and still had better Corsi and on ice save percentage.)

Least this 5 year contract will be over quicker than Loui's, but damn does it suck to have another long term anchor contract on this team

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

It's not like we could have signed Gardiner at $2 million less per year with 1 year less on his contract in the same offseason.

nice, totally forgot about the draft.

that would be really smart.

jesus, 25 minutes.

nHL.com must have updated the TOI, he was around 22 closing out the game.

that’s almost as embarrassing as when he played 11:45 in a single period.

Yup. 25:04. Insanity.

 

[B-rock]

Tyre Fires is good at nothing. Watching him pass tonight was atrocious. Three in a row sequence of not just bad passes but set ups leading to Montreal going the other way with just one lone Tyre to defend after he skated himself into trouble and then left his mate with a terrible offering.

So, can't pass, is a turnstile in his own end, takes terrible penalties, and also thinks he's the second coming of Bobby Orr the way he skates the puck, looking off passes left and right until he's too far gone to make a good play. Jimbo outdone himself once again.

 

[VanJack]

At the time, just about every hockey pundit warned any team about the perils of signing Tyler Myers, particularly to a contract with big term attached to it. But it was like Benning had blinkers on....nothing was going to stop him from committing salary cap Hari Kari by signing this guy.
