Rick Blight Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Every time I walk into my grandson's home arena (Trico Centre) here in Calgary I see the pictures of the previous Bow Valley Flames now playing in the NHL and I will now see the picture of Tyler Myers in a much different light. Still gonna sneer at Adam Lowry though.....unless the Canucks get him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Reading a lot of scouting reports on Myers he does remind me a bit of Edler or Bieksa. The ability is evident but struggles with consistency. Myers with the right partner looks like a solid number 3 who can defend, play 20+ minutes per night efficiently and chip in points. With the wrong partner he is an absolute disaster defensively. Physically he can also bring it but it is few and far between (like with Edler). I don't think Myers is a 6 million dollar defenseman (the premium you pay in free agency) but can likely play well in the right situation and is a major upgrade over Gudbranson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure I would totally agree with you on the number value of his salary. 6 million over 5 years and no expansion protection is not unreasonable. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Really curious what becomes of Tanev, with Myers and Benn all aboard. This could possibly be the D in the near future: Edler - Myers Hughes - Benn Juolevi - Stecher Fantenberg - Woo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks have to use him as one, Markstrom can't have a slow first half start again and Markstrom would need to continue his second half form right out of the gate if the Canucks want a shot at the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are no top pairing D men there. It would have to follow the New Jersey model of Having a 2a) 2b) 2c) pairings. Except I don’t think we have a 2C pair as of this moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/tyler-myers-canucks-facts Quote 5. Nicknamed “The Big Easy” The city of New Orleans will always be associated with the nickname “The Big Easy,” but Myers’ former teammates in Buffalo gave him the same moniker as a rookie back in 2009-10. Even though it wasn’t totally original, Myers approved of the nickname. “I like it,” he told ESPN back in 2010. “They can keep calling me that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux4lyfe Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Myers = Chara Ferland = Marchand JT Miller = Bergeron (I know) I see what you trying to do here JB... All jokes a side, JB's putting the right pieces in place and you need these type of players to win. Edited July 18, 2019 by nux4lyfe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Edler has been the Canucks #1 Dman for 10 years. He never seems to get much respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
