This take is absolutely brutal. While I’d rather close the book on the Myers chapter, having the guy on a third pairing (paying him third pair money) would be beneficial to most teams.

Say what you want… guy had a real nice first pass

Not disagreeing, but I wonder if sometimes it's less of an 'integrity' issue and more of a 'mentality' issue... we're not that far removed from playing through anything and everything being considered a sign of toughness.

I really like the idea of that from an offensive standpoint.... not sure that it would be a great option for the other end of the ice though.

little early, but probably goes top 5 in a 2019 redraft at this point

Retain on Myers to Florida and nab Montour?

I like Tocchet more than I did 5 minutes ago....

I could see it going either way. My biggest problem with this team is that we're too dependent on other teams doing poorly to make it in... that's not a recipe for success.

They'd have to overpay by a mile to get me to even listen. Hischier, Nemec, Casey and Holtz would be a start. edit...scratch Casey add a first and Marino.

I want to see them win and then watch Dubas spend his day with the cup in Toronto.

Yeah, I was actually thinking it would be ‘something’ in a positive light. Despite being over paid for what he is, Myers on the bottom pairing would likely be a pretty big headache for opposing teams. Especially partnered with Soucey.

Soucy-Myers as a third pairing would be something lol

While it wouldn't be surprising to see another move or two, as the team stands right now where do you think we will finish this year in the Western Conference Standings?

Cole was 80th in the league for time on ice last year among defenceman… I’ll let you do the math on whether that makes him a #6

What’s Luongo up to these days?

Did you mean happy Hroneka?

Over the course of his 6 year career he’s recovered from a broken back, watched his dad suffer and then die (not just being sick but losing his mind in the process) and still managed to be a borderline 30 goal scorer. It wouldn’t surprise me if what we see from Brock is what we get moving forward, but the idea that he might not have more to give is silly given what he’s been through.

You're entitled to that opinion. Facts would say otherwise. He was 3rd in TOI on our team last year (and that is with Hronek at #2.... so an argument could be that he was actually our number #2 guy most of the year). It gets better though... #74 in TOI league wide. Simple math would say there are 128 top 4 defencemen in the league... I'll let you figure out where that puts him.

I was thinking this guy….

I think anyone suggesting he might be worth a first at the deadline is assuming the Canucks would retain. despite his deficits, he’s still a #4/5 guy on a lot of teams. That, the fact he’s a righty and the fact he’s a freaking giant could be pretty attractive to a team that’s looking to make some noise in the playoffs…and we know teams have more of a penchant to pay up at the trade deadline than other times of the year.

There’s still room for him… In Abby

It rhymes….

Yeahhhhh. Something about chickens and hatching seems appropriate right now…
