He can only report what his sources leak to him. It's clear it was a negotiation tactic (happens all the time through the media), just don't know if it was the Canucks or Edler's camp.

Free Agency tomorrow. Myers is one of the most sought after UFAs and I suspect he will be one of the first UFAs to sign. Benning will have to act quickly. If Myers goes to Philly instead, is Gardiner the next one on their list? Benning did say they were going to sign a couple of free agent Dmen. Could that end up being Edler and Hutton? lol

Tyler Myers, 29, D
If the league didn’t suffer from a temporary bout of insanity every July 1, then maybe Myers wouldn’t be on this list. Probably he wouldn’t, actually. But do yourself a favor and check in on the scuttlebutt surrounding a possible Myers contract this off-season. Some reports have a potential deal falling in the $7-million range per season. Others are upwards of that. If he came in at $7.5 million, Myers would be tied with Aaron Ekblad as the 11th-highest paid rearguard in the league.

Now, let’s give that some context. Over his past six seasons, Myers has scored at about a 10-goal, 32-point rate. He has averaged 22 minutes per night. But he has not for a second been confused with one of the top-10 defensemen in the NHL. Ignoring every base and advanced metric, consider this: Myers hasn’t received a single vote for the Norris Trophy over that time. Not even a fifth-place nod. There are other, better ways to measure a defenseman’s talent, but that’s indicative of where Myers falls into the hierarchy of NHL rearguards.

(I'd rather have Gardiner)

This all makes me wonder - is Benning a poor negotiator? He doesn't typically do that well (getting good returns) when he makes trades, or is able to bring in star players. In fact, he had to pay full value to a team in cap trouble to acquire Miller. I think he may want to get Myers or Gardiner, but perhaps isn't savvy enough to pull it off.

I think Myers is a given. For me, it says were going to be active besides landing Myers. Benning is gonna surprise us with something. 

 

How I would like it to play out is: 

 

Myers @ 6mill over 5 years 

 

Nyquist @ 5.5 mill over 3 years 

 

Chiarot @ 2 mill for 1 year 

 

Boeser resigned @ 6.75 mill over 6-7

 

McElhinney @ max ahl salary for a 2 way contract. 

 

Trade Sutter for 3rd or 4th round pick. Saves 4.38 cap hit. 

 

Try to package Eriksson (25% retention) with Sven to Ottawa for a late pick? Ottawa definitely needs to hit the cap floor. So this helps both. We eat Eat 1.5 mill cap hit on Loui and shed 7.87 in the process. 

 

Sign Leivo @ 2 mill per for 2 years. 

 

Miller - Pete - Boeser 

Pearson - Bo - Nyquist 

Virtanen - Gauds - Leivo 

Motte - Beagle - MacEwen 

Ex. Schaller    (ir) Roussel, until christmas.

 

Edler - Myers 

Hughes - Tanev 

Chiarot - Stecher 

Ex. Biega, Sautner/Brisebois

 

Marky

Demko

 

If were out of it come TDL 

 

Trade Tanev and sign Tryamkin to come over. 

 

Shop chiarot, replace with Brisebois. 

 

 

 

That looks good, either Nemeth or Chiarot would be good additions and not sure about Nyquist, I like Johansson

Its obviously not just Benning looking into Myers. If hes the highest coveted UFA Dman available WHOEVER wins him over is going to pay. If another GM wins Myers for7x6 is he a bad negotiator or the man who out GMd Benning? The question is for what Myers is going to get , is it worth it to the Nucks?

I predict we sign Meyers 6yrs x 6.7 million  and then sign Jordie Benn 3yrs x 3 million...

No to Benn too old, Nemeth or Chairot is a good fit

Well if you trust Dhaliwal we will have a legit shot at landing both Myers and Nyquist. Take it for what it's worth. 

I’m optimistic that we will land Myers. Not so sure about Gus tho.

 

I meant to say that we even knew the numbers and term pretty close last year. But it is what it is. Not too long before we know this again I guess. :lol:

Oh god...not again.  :picard:

The media is mostly to blame for all of this.  Just visited my Dad, and he was all wondering what's happening with the Canucks and how they have all these bad contracts and are in trouble and going to be a bad team; could tell it was from reading the local rags and listening to what's on TV.  The Canucks are in massive cap and contract trouble, meanwhile the Leafs, Jets, Oilers, and Flames are doing just fine?  Patrick Johnson has in general been better, but whoever wrote the headline for his article yesterday used a different and more despairing one in the paper Sun than online.  Maybe because he's new still and hasn't been absorbed by the Canuck-hating/mocking Borg, but hopefully he stays at least reasonably objective.

I dont think savvy has anything to do with it. Their going to the highest bidder. Savvy would be to let that be someone else.  

 

Double edged sword. If JB goes into next season with the D corps of last year Fans will call for his head. If he signs an over priced Myers fans will call for his head. 

 

If he trades for a D its gonna cost him youth or picks and fans will call for his head. 

 

What do people really think his options are? Short of tanking some more in which case FA will have his head.

Excellent points, if you could have made it any clearer, unfortunately people on here will go after his head no matter what he does so I'm glad he ignores us

I rather the Nucks sign three cheap undervalued defencemen on short term deals than signing Myers for 7x7 years.

 

 

We have too many of those. :picard:

 

The Canucks have one of the worst defence in the NHL. They need better than average players back there.
