Rush17 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, Rush17 said: I think he's a 3 or weak 2 personally. But he could easily play top pairing minutes for a long time if he has a legit #1. Quinn Hughes looks like a legit #1. Edler is a solid #2 ATM. Maybe his play starts to decline this year but he's in great shape still. I think Myers is sold on the fact he can be Hughes partner if he signs here long term. Myers is essentially a bigger and better version of Luke Schenn. I don't think Schenn has recieved an offer from Vancouver yet because they believe Myers could sign here and be his replacement. A significant one at that. That's just my 2 cents tho. Hughes #1 (in future) Myers #3 (maybe low 2) Edler #2 (maybe regresses to a 3) Tanev #4 (maybe improves to a 3 if healthy) Stecher #5 (a good 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His deal was rather front loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really see Loui running off to Sweden? His family is apparently back in Dallas. His NHL career would be over if he left for Sweden. I don't see him coming back at 36 or whenever his deal was set to expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes will never be a defensive dman who plays big mins against the other teams best players........to me, that's a #1 dman. He'll be a 3-4 guy at even strength and the pp qb.

He can’t keep up, his hands are gone, and he’s weaker now. He can collect the remainder of his contract, but it will be playing in Utica. I’m sure he’s a proud guy. He will not do that.

The prospect of riding the bus in Utica, a thousand miles away from your wife and four young kids for three years without even getting playing time there sounds like a pretty good reason to bail.

Gaudette Celly Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 19 minutes ago, rekker said: I did some work for him as well. Great guy. A key factor -- is he the right fit character-wise, the kind of guy the Canucks want on their team. Considering Benning was hot on his trail at his first draft in 2014, it seems he knew already back then. The fact he's a RHS should also make him preferable over Gardiner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 30 minutes ago, Provost said: How is two guys that are 6’8” a problem exactly. They move pretty well for their size. Add in Woo on that side and we have made up for a little lack of size up front. Tryamkin can play either side as well which is really useful. Edler-Myers Hughes-Tryamkin Juolevi-Woo Stecher That isn’t bad at the start of the 2020 season. Maybe be forward thinking and rotate seven NHL calibre guys through (when healthy) to keep them rested and prevent injuries. 25 minutes ago, nux4lyfe said: In a couple of years, That could be one deadly D core. I agree that would be a deadly core in 2020 but not 2 years down the road. I doubt that Edler would be a top pair dman at age 35 and with his injury record. He would slot in better on the second pairing. By then Hughes and Myers would be the top pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Hutton Wink said: That would be "okay" if we get him nearer the bottom of that scale, but it'll come down to how much competition there is out there for him. With the cap coming in low and many teams needing to shed salary, hopefully there aren't a lot of suitors nor those eager to overpay. And remember, at 6-7 years he will be 36-37 before the contract expires. Yes, Arizona could well be looking at 2+ years of a dog contract.

GB5 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'd love to sign Myers. There are a lot of teams looking at him so the only way to get him is via some term and $'s. It may be a contract similar to LE's which I am ok for on Myers as he is only 29. At the end of the term he would be around 35 which is ok for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 1 hour ago, rekker said: I like Myers but damn there may be two more rightys next year hitting UFA. Barrie and Larsson. Would rather have either of them over Myers to be honest. sure but its impossible to play that game, these days so few good players actually make it to free agency, particularly d, that I can see this being a real push Jim makes. They have history, and Jim's clearly in an all-in kinda mood My preference would be to get Stralman on an Edler type deal (2 years with a slight overpayment sweetener) but we need something, and if its Zaitsav at 5 vs Myers at 6.5 thats a no-brainer. I would be surprised to see Myers go back to the 'peg, at least under their current coach. Green will be at the meetings and my guess is they will be talking about a much bigger role for him and thats going to be appealing. Hard to say how much of a chance we really have but we do have one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another AHL team but definitely not in Utica. Don't want him poisoning the young guys on the farm...like Gagner sent to Toronto Marlies to keep him away from the farm team... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper007 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 45 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: Don't think their camp can in any way argue he's a top-pairing guy, so salary should be in that second-pairing range. They may ask for 7+ but not sure he gets that, save for a bidding war. There's always the intangible factors as well, like where a player wants to play and if he'll play for less for such aspects. He's American, but has there been any word on if he has preferences, whether places, contenders, etc? 80 and 82 games the past two seasons. That alone is a significant upgrade. Isn't he Canadian?? I'm sure he played for Team Canada this WHC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at other teams this morning, I like our chances of improving. Calgary doesn't actually have a starting goalie under contract at the moment fun times. Dunno, I love this time of year, so many possibilities (even with the epic whining going on). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
