    His contract is about a mill or two more a year than it should be but at the time overpayment was necessary to land him. There weren’t many options and our defence needed him. To be honest we probably wouldn’t be in the playoffs without him. If you don’t notice him that’s a good thing too in terms of making too many mistakes and defending well. The guy right now is playing half injured and doing well considering. Myers is not a problem on this team. 

    That mil or two a year could mean the difference between signing a young guy or not. Hey, I don’t dislike the guy but he seems over paid for his contribution. Hughes will need a big contact in the next couple years and Myers will be one of the contracts holding it back. I’m thinking we trade Myers to free up that money. Im just not sure who would take on a 6mil salary for what he brings. 

  2. I think he’s a good player but his contract is atrocious. Considering his contract I think he’s a bust. He’s one of the the highest paid players on the team but I don’t see it during games. He’s always out of sight,  in the background and mainly unnoticeable and his contract is horrible for the team. Gets in the way of negotiating better deals for our young players when we have this albatross of a contract strangling us. What say you?

    I was responding to all the let Marky walk comments. You mentioned nothing about a better offer from another team unless I missed it?

    Sure some team may outbid the Nucks and if that happens I would be fine with Demko and maybe a Greiss another 1b type for a couple of years.

    But based on everything we know about Marky and the fact that Benning has said he is the top priority, I think they split the difference and go 5.5 mill, term I have no idea but perhaps Marky takes an even friendlier deal money-wise, in exchange for more term? 

    Wait a minute, people are calling for Marky to walk? I didn’t see a preponderance of comments like that. I don’t think anyone says Marky should or will walk. Marky has a few years left and Demko has a decade +. Neither needs to leave. Anything the Nucks have to do to keep them both needs to be done. I hope the salary cap is increased soon. We will need it to sign guys like Marky, Demko and our other young guys.
