But having size is more intimidating than bunch of 5'10" d men. The radio guys said Benn can drop the mitts once in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His long reach I hope he can capitalize on and use to his advantage ala Chara I've watched a lot of Jets games. At this price this is pretty much a can't miss deal for a RHD. With Woo and Hughes Myers just needs to be a solid 2nd pairing right side D for next 5 years for this to be good. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would the price tag on Ferland be? I hope we can get Ferland or Dzingel signed, and ship out some cap in Sutter. Sutter has value, somebody would take him.

chon derry Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 myers drafted by buffalo ,traded to the jets, both situations out of his control , I like how he recognized the canucks need on the back end ,and how he felt he could fill that role ,coupled with the geographical aspect of his decision choosing Vancouver ,for both he and his wife ,and familys. charting his own course this time around. there's a possibility that his game translates into a more complete player ,finally playing for a team of 'his' choice. versus reporting to the team the that drafted ,or traded for him. he may well be some what passive given his size , but with J. Benn signing , there was mix of truculence acquired today ,to balance things out. GCG! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be Benn, Miller and Rousel's job. Myers isn't aggressive BUT he wont get pushed around that's for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR, Burkie likes the signing and praised Myers' skill set, saying he basically got stuck behind two other RD's in Winnipeg.

Defending in a D zone, bigger guys are less likely to get knocked off the puck or position in the slot, assuming the skill level is equivalent. It's not always about fighting. JB said he can skate, so he isn't just a pylon. Edited July 1, 2019 by Jaimito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not wrong, Gallagher is a hack, most of the Vancouver sports media are clowns, I listened to the Benning Myers press conference was absolutely embarrassed as a Vancouverite by some of the media’s questions; especially the one where they guy asks Myers about the negative reactions to the signing ive watched Myers a lot over the years, from the Rockets to Buffalo, and the Jets (my 2nd favourite team btw) I like this deal, he will be a good upgrade on what was a terrible defence core 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
