DiPietro is coveted around the league and should not be tainted for the 7 goal performance at 19 yo against one of the best regular season teams of the last decade. If you think his value is tarnished at all, and that that is why you think the package nets Zucker and a 3rd, I just want to say that you're completely off-base. The goaltending position will never be redundant. Out of 31 teams, almost half of them are desperately searching for DiPietro's potential. Whether or not he will translate will only be discovered in due time, but to give up this quick would be absolutely foolish. DiPietro today nets us much more than Zucker in a package like that, and if he doesn't, we should not bite nor offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know it's gonna happen unless he has a great year. no one is immune. We had Petey trade proposals 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate he's gone (was still hoping for a Tanev trade/Stralman signing) but that's about the ballpark I was expecting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If it is Meyers at 5 years and 6 million, great job JB. Compared to the 7x7 rumored, this is perfect. He is the 5th top FA on tsn board. On July 1st people usually way overpay. RHD is the toughest thing to find it seems so they are worth a bit more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highwayman3 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Not super happy with this signing. Myers is a #4 who is best suited to a heavily sheltered, bottom pairing role. Don't really see the fit, would've been far better to wait year and try to sign Barrie a UFA imo. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanless Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 7 hours ago, Odd. said: A defenseman that puts up points doesn't mean they are a good defenseman and that they'll help your team out. Burns not winning the Norris is a prime example. Jake Gardiner is also another example. Jake Gardiner had 105 giveaways in the 2017-2018 season, though had his best offensive output of 52 points. Yes those that put up more offense will likely have a lot of giveaways, but that's too much of a discrepancy. Solid indicator of a deficient defensive player, and certainly many people have him as one of the worst defensive players in the UFA market. A team that needs help in scoring will benefit with a Gardiner player. A team that needs help stopping pucks going past their net will want defensive oriented defenders. We are a team that needs both. This is why IMO, we are in a predicament with Myers. He's not really improving this team that much defensively and although he's going to help us out offensively more than the likes of Pouliot, Gudbranson, Del Zotto, he's not going to improve our offensive enough to where it'll take us to the next level, if you get what I'm trying to say. You're making more sense as your moving away from basing your argument on giveaways. Also it's known the Canucks lack in d scoring and points. Myers could very well have been brought in for his offense alone, which it is known he plays a better game when he's being relied on for offence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a legitimate possibility, but he is rumoured to want to come home and play here. Even if he doesn't, I just don't care for this player or this contract.
