Darkstar Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Signing both Myers and Gardiner would be a disaster. Both are terrible defensively, and don't make up for it on the offensive side of the puck. Gardiner is awful in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto and the only bright side from the LE situation is that it is happening now to hopefully, act as a reminder to the Canucks to shop wisely...

Agreed but I feel like we are not in a position of strength. Worried about some panic moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried about some panic moves. If CDC was in charge, I'd be worried about panic movies. Watching most of this website knot it's panties over the game of chicken Edler's agent and Benning are playing has been endlessly amusing. But it should give you some indication on how 'panicked' Benning and Co are (not at all). 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are terrible defensively, and don't make up for it on the offensive side of the puck. Gardiner is awful in the playoffs. Myers isnt terrible defensively. Myers is a decent top 4 RHD. Plus he is a giant and mobile. For a team with size issues, Myers would help even things out. JB wants to address the defence as he should. He has already signed the best FA deal of the off season and stabilized the left side. Tanev is being shopped. There won't be a better d man for a cup contender to pick up, 1 year left on a good cap hit. Great shot suppression guy and we need a different fit. JB would be negligent if he wasnt aggressively targeting lots of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The St Boniface is a great hospital, but BC children's hospital is the best pediatric center in western Canada. Someone with Myers income has real life problems, not making light, but he also has substantial means to deal with those problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pity the poor GM who give this useless piece of garbage a contract and lets him stink up the joint for 7 years. He makes Phillip Larsen look like an NHLer in comparison.

I've seen him play enough to know he lacks the hockey sense to play acceptable defense, and is an even bigger liability when it matters most. Zero room on a legit NHL team for a defenseman incapable of playing defense. Friends who are Leafs fans are overjoyed to see this pylon leaving town and consider it addition by subtraction.

He puts up 30-50 points and while not great defensively to say he'd struggle to be a regular in the AHL is laughable at best. And I’m not even for signing Gardiner but your evaluation of him is awful at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how many points you put up; if you're as much of a defensive liability as Gardiner is, you don't belong on the ice in any league.
