Trebreh Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 So i've been watching some videos of our newest Canucks to pump me up for the upcoming season... Tyler Myers is underrated hitter. His highlight reel hits are impressive, he lays people out open ice more than Guddy and he drops the gloves and initiate fights too! He has a wicked wrist shot too and skates really well for a 6'7 dude. I think he will be a fan fav really quickly... actually all 4 of our big UFA signings have potential to be fan favs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Skates very well and is actually very offensively minded, contrary to what one might expect from a 6'8" defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Very calm and collected. Made so many little plays that many wouldn’t even think of, and very elusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The Jets must be kicking themselves royally. I was so surprised to see them let a priming Myers go,. And keep an aging Byfuglien. .. and the latest is Buff might retire. LTI. Big shoes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a young family now, and wanted to be close to his wife’s family. It’s kind of becoming more clear the Canucks was Myer’s destination for a while. It’s much like Trouba wanted to go to New York. It’s not that guys wanted out of the Peg, but more-so wanted to be closer to home. I think this loss of D men from the Jets is partly why Big Buff is considering retiring, and leaving 20 plus million on the table. He knows his team will be awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a Jets fan so my take on Buff is pretty superficial. His commitment to the game has always been my question, even while with the Hawks. Absolutely one of the most imposing players to ever play the game. My impression is that keeping in shape has always been a struggle for him. When you are a multi millionaire the drive might not be there anymore. Combine that with his injury history and an individual could easily question whether the sacrifice is worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I agree with everyone commenting on Myer's pre-season game against Edmonton. He looked terrific out there. He was the most noticeable defenseman on either team. He used his big body to shield the puck, skated very well, made some laser passes and defended well. He's one of the things we've been needing for a long time on this team. I really like him teamed up with Edler, although I could see him being paired with Hughes to provide a steady partner who makes few mistakes. I hope we see him in a Canucks uniform for a long time to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A steady partner like Edler makes tons of sense. You can then leave Tanev with Hughes for the exact same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Edler has routinely made much worse players than Myers look good so I think that’s a great fit. Also I don’t think our D depth really go above the bottom pairing yet, so I want Edler and Tanev apart and some sheltering of QH 5v5 to start with, so Tanev and QH as the second pairing makes sense to me.

Shift-4 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Concerned he might be a turnover machine Might make me hate Edler less lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Tyler Myers OK...…….Everyone knew what we were getting...……...a top 4 defenseman......probably a 4 Plain and simple! So, lets not hear any bitching and complaining He will be hot and cold But basically he is equivalent to a 2 line player...…. Live with it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
