Myers is a very good defenseman when healthy. The problem is he hasn't been healthy very much recently. I would still take a chance on him if the price is right.
Agreed.

He's not being paid 5.5 mil. That's his cap hit. His salary for the next 2 years is 3.5 & 3.0 mil. A bargain at the price if he plays 70 games a season.
Myers would be your third best Dman and your best RHD
What a joke.
If Myers was traded that would mean Trouba is untouchable, so the rumour never stated Myers was being shopped just that these two teams were pushing to get him. But if Myers was being shopped, again it would mean Trouba is untouchable. The list of players I think most Jets fans would trade Trouba for is very small, partly b/c he fills a huge need for us (#1D stud) & the fact he's so damn good.
So Myers who has done nothing in years is still a good player but Stepan stinks and can't bring back anything of value. I give you HF.
When talking about the Leafs.....it would be better if he was actually paid 5.5 with a 3.0 cap hit. In Toronto, cash doesn't matter....cap is king.
He could be paid 800 million dollars and all the Leafs would care about is what his cap hit is. "The Leafs spend 5.5m" could and does mean 5.5 million in cap space.
Myers is a huge risk given his injury history. I think for the Leafs he'd have to be a part of a package.
To Toronto: Myers, Tucker Poolman
To Winnipeg: Bozak, Connor Carrick
Muzzin and this year's 2nd round pick for Myers and 2017 first round pick.Something around martinez and myers?
Myers + dano/lowry for martinez + (?)

Gee i dunno man, not keen on adding a 2nd. If myers was cleared by the doc id be tempted. I dont know how it would play out with the exp draft either.
If we trade with the Jets I would much rather go for Trouba. I know the price will be higher than Myers but that's what happens when you trade for a player of Jacob's caliber and it's understood you gotta pay up if you wanna get someone like that.
Needless to say Yzerman is targeting the WRONG player if any of these rumors are true.
