[Signing] Tyler Myers to Vancouver
Kanukfanatic replied to Rush17's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Stecher is still a 3rd pairing but is still improving. Zaitsev is a higher end 2nd pairing that seems to be able to handle first pairing minutes. So I do think he is an upgrade. Edler Zaitsev could handle a lot of minutes. We could then get a cheaper 3rd pairing RHD to replace Stecher (schenn....others). -

It is interesting that many toronto fans crap all over zaitsev. Yet when they took a poll on whom they would prefer to have on their team Zaitsev vs. Myers it was over whelming they prefer Zaitsev. -

Zaitsev has 5 years left at 4.5 million per. He is better than Myers and that would be a good contract. Not sure what the price is but it helps TO needs to move him to pay Marner a schmillion dollars per year. Maybe send back stecher? -

Zaitsev is a better player. I took the information below from hftoronto: Zaitsev vs. Myers in depth:2018-2019 Regular Season numbers when compared with the 90 other NHL dmen who played at least 1200 minutes (score and venue adjusted):Myers:TOI% QoC: 28.75 (77th highest, 2nd pairing)Ozone Faceoff%: 57.23 (84th least sheltered)CF%: 49.60 (49 out of 90)SF%: 48.57 (60 out of 90)SCF%: 48.41 (62 out of 90)HDCF%: 49.31 (52 out of 90)xGF%: 48.17 (61 out of 90)Zaitsev:TOI% QoC: 29.16 (46th highest, high end 2nd pairing)Ozone Faceoff%: 41.92 (8th least sheltered)CF%: 50.33 (41 out of 90)SF%: 47.31 (72 out of 90)SCF%: 52.45 (27 out of 90)HDCF%: 54.02 (22 out of 90)xGF%: 50.10 (47 out of 90)Last two playoffs numbers out of the 70 dmen with 200+ minutes (score and venue adjusted):Myers:QoC: 3rd pairing (Had difficulty adding the numbers up here but Myers was more sheltered in the playoffs)Ozone starts: 54.67 (50th least sheltered)CF%: 54.07 (17 out of 70)SF%: 53.46 (17 out of 70)SCF%: 52.29 (29 out of 70)HDCF% 53.47 (29 out of 70)xGF%: 54.14 (18 out of 70)Zaitsev:QoC: 1st pairing (Had difficulty adding the numbers up here but Zaitsev was less sheltered in the playoffs)Ozone starts: 43.21 (14th least sheltered)CF%: 50.93 (33 out of 70)SF%: 50.66 (38 out of 70)SCF%: 54.56 (11 out of 70)HDCF% 59.95 (7th out of 70)xGF% 56.02 (11 out of 70)Its a bit of an odd comparison in the way that Zaitsev is so much less sheltered than Myers and yet still has the better numbers overall. I know theres an emphasis on points in this league but these two really arnt in the same conversation.Zaitsev is probably worth around 4-5 million a year (or more if you put emphasis on playoff performance) with these numbers and Myers, also due to his excellent playoff numbers, I think should be earning around 3 million a year. The numbers say Zaitsev is one of the better defensive 4s in the league that can step it up in the playoffs and Myers is a successful 2/3 tweener who is not a liability in the playoffs.The poll (and some of the responses in this thread) is pretty ludicrous. Personally I am not big on fancy stats but by all accounts Zaitsev plays against tougher competition regularly and is a better player using the eye test as well as fancy stats. We should just trade for Zaitsev instead of giving myers some stupidly large contract. -

6 x 6 is the max JB should do and even that is too much for Myers imo. Edit: just trade for Zaitsev if that is what Myers would cost. Zaitsev is just as good, younger, and on a cheaper contract for a few years. The next week is gonna be scary lol. -

Those simple-minded posters over at hfcanucks should be all put on suicide watch over this Myers thing haha. God they sound like a bunch of idiots. -

I'm not so sure about that. Vegas has a major cap issue. -
I don't need to look it up because it is wrong. Simply look at the post above yours. Edit: In case you don't want to scroll up I will put it below....again....for you lol. Caufield’s skating is another strength that more than compensates for his lack of size.

Actual scouts say Caufield is a good skater. Not sure why you keep making that up lol.

2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
Kanukfanatic replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Haha....nice try. Edler is 215. -
JT Miller is head and shoulders better than Leivo. He won't be on the 3rd line lol. Green already mentioned playing him with Petey. If we got Lee then he plays with Bo.
-
Who do we trade for him when we probably still need assets to trade for a top 4 D?

Myers is a 3rd pairing D in Wpg. He is behind Buff and Trouba and has been for some time. Wpg fans rag on him constantly. Could he be an ok 2nd pairing guy? Maybe. I don't see that other posters stuff you are debating with because he does not post like a normal person....but Myers is a #4/5. That is why I am afraid of what we pay him....because we probably will get him. -

He isn't. He is a good 3rd pairing. Pretty obvious. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Gustav Nyquist

It may be different for D though considering there are so few top 4 such as Myers and Gardiner. -

Good point. Nice big guy that can replace Hutton. I like it. -

JT Miller is a great top 6 addition. Your argument falls apart as soon as you throw him in there. Use Ericksson and Sutter. -

That is a great way of thinking about it. -

I know this question was not for me but I don't see that posters posts mostly lol. I would try to trade for Miller from Vegas, Zaitsev from TO, Faulk from Caro, or Risto from Buffalo. We need to trade for at least one of those guys and Tanev can be included in the trade if possible. I would then try to sign Stralman if possible and if not, then Myers (although he will cost so much). We would then have a D much better than the last few years but it comes at a cost. I kinda think the best case scenario would be: Edler Stralman Hughes Risto Miller would be the cheaper trade though. Myers is gonna cost a ton for what seems to be a 4/5 D man. But our predicament is so bad with respect to our D we don't have many choices. -

Excellent point about only a handful of teams that could afford him. Luckily we are one of them. -
