Value of: Tyler Myers

[Upperdeckjet]

Yeah, this year is not the problem. Next year though, one of Trouba, Myers or Buff will really have to go. The question is when is this move made for maximal impact, for now and the future. I have confidence Chevy has a pretty good handle on it.

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Don't see why Montreal would be interested.

I heard Myers played C in pee wee.

 

[Flair Hay]

Fair to good value to the Jets......but very poor fit.

Simmonds seems like an awesome fit for one season to me? Having another physical monster on the team in the playoffs would be huge for us.

Liljegren stays right here.

Ok you’ve had a day to sleep on it.... please...

Jets can't expect an A prospect back for Myers. He will still get back something nice but hes still a pending UFA that isn't a tough mins guy.

I think a 2nd rounder and an expendable NHLer is a realistic price tag for him. Teams know the Jets can't afford him anyway if Trouba signs.

Agree with this. Myers is a 3rd pairing guy who can move up for a few games here and there. There's been a long wait for him to realize potential beyond that, it hasn't happened and it probably won't. Any team that is into analytics won't value him nearly as much as any team that looks at a roster and goes OMFG 6'8 guy who can skate! I doubt the Leafs would even want him.

Lol....aaannndddd.....nope.

It doesn't make sense for Toronto because they have enough offense. They need a RHD who can keep the puck out of the net.

I think his reach is something Babcock can abuse in his interruptive interference defense scheme. The threat of his poke check should slow down forwards at our blueline just enough for one of our wingers to get in for support.

Same idea as how they used Marincin to great effect in the AHL playoffs but with offensive skill and without the sheer panic when he gets the puck.

The injury concerns are a much bigger deal to me than his defensive game. Maybe not his defensive game in a vacuum but what his specific set of traits can bring to our overall defensive scheme. I think him and Rielly would be better than the sum of their parts just because of how their styles mesh.

Don't shoot the messenger....

Why a Gardiner-for-Myers trade would make sense for Leafs, Jets

 

[REALTALK81]

Would rather something around Nylander for Trouba. More would have to be added but those would be the main pieces.

That makes absolutely no sense for the Jets though

True enough. They need a LHD more than anything. Perhaps add Gardiner and something small from the Jets?

 

[mondo3]

Weber is out in Montreal so they badly need a top D - but do they have anything of interest for the Jets?

 

[RandomJetsFan]

Wouldn't it be better for the present to just keep Myers as an own rental and not trade the upcoming first rounder keep restocking while letting the younger guys get the revolving door moving so the jets remain competitive and contend with the current core

So you're saying Gardiner and Kapanen and a 1st for Trouba and a small plus?
If so, dream on. That would be of no interest to the Jets.

No lol not Kapanen. Nylander and Gardiner

I would still have no interest in that trade. If Nylander was a center that may start a conversation, but Trouba won't be moved for wingers.

 

[Brock Radunske]

This is the point where, as a Leafs fan, i get to use HF's favorite saying...."you will need to overpay to get Kadri".

Yep.
Jets fans will balk but if we're talking Kadri, we're talking about Trouba not Myers.
30g 2-way centers making 4.5 mil long-term don't come cheap.

Nylander did have some time at that spot but fair enough!
