ruilin96 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 To Jeff Pattersson, I don't consider Myers an overpayment. In fact, I am surprised at the UFA market, the Canucks can get a big RHD who can skate and put up decent points at $6 million per. With the cap space increasing each year, this contract is just going to be fine even down the road. Myers bring in an aspect of the game that the Canucks lack of. For a UFA at the age of 29, you can't expect him to sign a 2-3 year deal because this contract is likely the last big contract he is going to sign. From watching highlights from previous years, Myers seems to have good offensive awareness as well, he just been playing behind both Byfuglien and Trouba during his Winnipeg days, I could see the Canucks give him more opportunity to attack and his points total could potentially increase. He is only sign for 5 years not the 7 years we were expeting. The $6 million cap hit is about the UFA market value for a player his calibre. The only way this contract is going to suck is if he comes in and decline immediately like Eriksson did, then this will be a disaster. Atleast, let this player prove himself in a Canucks jersey before criticising him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also really like the new-look jerseys. This is a new era. Adding J.T. Miller, Myers, Benn and Fantenberg (and losing Granlund, Pouliot, Hutton and Schenn), then throw in Hughes and possibly Juolevi. the Canucks will have a better team next year. I am still kinda hopeful for Ferland but don't know if that is realistic at all lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought he was the best D man out there and worth 7 million a year for 7 years? Maybe teams are realizing he’s not worth that. Injuries no doubt part of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets anywhere close to his production during his rookie season, this would be a steal of a signing. But he hasn't put up that kind of number since then, so I doubt it. I still think adding Myers is a solid acquisition none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18W-40C-6W Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Every time I listen to the Vancouver media I fail to understand how many of these monkeys retain their jobs. Is the lack of media talent that great in our city that we can’t have people who ask good, respectful and reasonable questions. It makes me think they read this site and ask questions the trolls pose. 1. “Are you aware idiots on social media are complaining about you and did that go into your thinking of signing here?” 2. “We didn’t pay him his worth of 7-8 mil JB was that a factor?” -while Meyers is sitting right there smh at these idiots Edited July 1, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Quite surprised at the contract after the information we were given throughout most of this process. I've seen more of Tyler Myers than most so I'm still not thrilled about the contract length, but as I said before Myers does bring elements we don't have. That's about as positive as I can get on this one. Edited July 1, 2019 by FlyLow_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as high as others on the signing, but it makes a lot more sense than losing assets trading for someone like Ristolainen who is only marginally better as far as I'm concerned. Also only 5 years on a UFA contract is better than expected. Edited July 1, 2019 by SabreFan1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bubble Man Posted July 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) I like how Both LE and Myers have the same cap hit being that they will be equally as disappointing. For the most part our team is basically the same as last year competitive wise. Edler is older, and has a contract now. Doesn’t care if he wins which is why he insists on being here. Hughes is phenomenal but young and his virgin body will wear down. Tanev is going to give Sami Salo a run the most injured human ever. Stetcher is stetcher sure wish he was taller Myers has the coordination of a pubescent and the endurance of my 320 lbs alcoholic uncle Alex. Benn got that contract not because Benning is a genius but because he isn’t that good. TJ Miller isn’t worth a 1st and 3rd.

Gaudette Celly Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 But wait -- so then, Benn is 2nd pairing and Myers 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Great, for about 2 years. This is going to suck for the last few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if Ferland did agree to sign with the Canucks they would just waive Schaller, could they not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, the Vancouver media has been sh!t for a couple of decades. The Canucks could’ve won the Cup in ‘11 and the media would’ve still destroyed the Sedins for being too soft, Burrows for being too much of a pest, Luongo for letting in so many goals, and on and on and on....
