NuxFan09 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Myron didn't dress today for Boston University in their 4-3 loss to UMass Lowell. Coach shaking things up a bit? Either way, no surprises here. Myron is a bubble player on that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is he a 4th liner or something? Though BU seems to have a history of riding their top guns heavily, so he might just have to wait for his opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Again, Myron wasn't dressed for Boston University in their 3-2 win over Providence today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Myron had zeroes across the board for Boston University in a 3-3 final tie with Providence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allt svartnar Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 USCHO Staff Report • Feb. 1, 2013 According to a school-issued press release, Boston University freshman forward Wesley Myron has left the program. Drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL draft, Myron will “attempt to begin a professional career in hockey,” according to the press release. Myron tallied two goals and an assist in 21 games for the Terriers this season. And the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Interesting - supposedly will be joining the Kalamazoo Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Tyson Giuriato @TysonGiuriato #Canucks prospect Wes Myron has left Boston University to turn pro. Expected to join the Kalamazoo Wings in the near future. Is this common? He only played a few games in Uni. Does this mean Nucks have to sign him to a contract?

Squeak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cool thanks. Just means the minute he signs that SPC with Kalamazoo, he loses his NCAA eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Such a stupid move. Now rather than having his rights until 2016, we only have until 2014 to make a decision on him, and I doubt we will sign him. He should have just stayed a BU, worked on his game as he might have had a shot at a top 6 role next year. He has probably nuked his career unless he is alot better than anyone thinks although he was a 4th liner on the Terriers so I don't see how he could have any real success in the ECHL.

UFCanuck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 He's probably decided school isn't for him. He'd rather focus full time on hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 He's probably decided school isn't for him. He'd rather focus full time on hockey. He's not good enough to turn pro yet though. He will probably be a depth player on the K-Wings. He will also lose 2 extra years of time to impress us and earn a contract, so I don't see any chance this move will pan out.

Millerdraft Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Meh. Sixth round pick. Too bad he didn't stick to the plan. I don't like the fact that he bailed on University but whatever. Hope he beats the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 He wasn't having much success at BU, so I don't see this as being a bad thing necessarily. Spending a year or two in the ECHL is not an uncommon route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending a year or two in the ECHL is not an uncommon route. To me it doesn't make any sense. He was a 4th line player at BU, so your right he wasn't having a ton of success, but the thing is, there he has twice the time to get better and impress us before we has to make a final decision. Now he has to impress us enough to earn a contract in 2 years. And really he isn't ready for pro hockey. Judging by the fact he was a 4th liner there, I don't see how anyone could think he will magically turn it around in short order in pro hockey. He will probably be a depth player or 4th liner on the K-Wings, and will have less time to grow and impress. He's only a 6th but it just seems like a waste of a pick that could have been better served elsewhere, personally I like to stick to drafting CHL and European players in the 6th and 7th rounds. As I think there is a higher probability they come out of nowhere to become better players than collage/university players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing this changes is that the Canucks only have two years instead of four to sign Myron. By turning pro, he'll have more scouts watching him and, should the Canucks decide not to sign this kid, he could very well sign with another team after next year. It sucks for the Canucks, but it's likely the better option for Myron rather than being stuck on the fourth line at BU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I didn't have very high expectations for Myron anyways so frankly, this doesn't bother me in the least. Best case scenario, Myron and his camp actually know what they're talking about and Myron actually has the ability to start a pro hockey career, accelerating his progression to the bigs. Worst case scenario, he vanishes into irrelevancy. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'd like to see him finish out the year with a WHL club as a 20 year old just to get a better handle on what kind of a player he really is. He probably just got a little frustrated and homesick but I think he's flushed his pro hockey prospects down the drain with this move.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
