Dano.Canuck Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think he’s a good player but his contract is atrocious. Considering his contract I think he’s a bust. He’s one of the the highest paid players on the team but I don’t see it during games. He’s always out of sight, in the background and mainly unnoticeable and his contract is horrible for the team. Gets in the way of negotiating better deals for our young players when we have this albatross of a contract strangling us. What say you? 1 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drive-By Body Pierce Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 I like where the team has made it in the playoffs. And I like the idea of supporting them in a positive way for as far as they are able to go. 1 1 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grandmaster Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 His contract is about a mill or two more a year than it should be but at the time overpayment was necessary to land him. There weren’t many options and our defence needed him. To be honest we probably wouldn’t be in the playoffs without him. If you don’t notice him that’s a good thing too in terms of making too many mistakes and defending well. The guy right now is playing half injured and doing well considering. Myers is not a problem on this team. 5 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers was the best available UFA and those guys don't come cheap. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes will need a big contact in the next couple years and Myers will be one of the contracts holding it back. I’m thinking we trade Myers to free up that money. Im just not sure who would take on a 6mil salary for what he brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I don't think it's atrocious...a little overpaid but like it was mentioned above, that what the price to pay. Compared to Eriksson's 6M$, Myers is pretty decent. When we signed him, we didn't know Hughes was going to be that good this early. We needed an experienced body to play big minutes and Myers has done that. In the grand scheme of thing, Myers should be playing like a #4D, but this year Edler-Myers and Hughes-Tanev have been kind of like 1A-1B type of pairing. Myers has the highest TOI/GP at even strength and that is not really his ideal spot. In a perfect world we would get that 1st pairing RHD to play alongside Hughes and Edler and Myers could play a little less in a 2nd pairing role.

khay Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 In years 4, 5, 6 of his contract, maybe. But for now, he is exactly what this team needs. He provides the coaching staff with another option to eat up some tough minutes along with Edler and Tanev. I think he plays hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You show me how many under 30, UFA aged, top 4 D signed for less than $6m on the open market in the last couple years and I'll concede he's 'over paid'. I'll wait here.

Tre Mac Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Don't mind him now but that contract is going to hurt us down the road unless he is moved. Doesn't matter what other Dman are signing for on other teams, those extra 2-3 years are going to hurt big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatfield? Rafferty? Are they going to play 22 minutes a night and be able to clear the crease and play on the PK? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him sending a message to Fiala? in the crease after the play stopped by totally manhandling him with cross checks and keeping him from getting up. Yes he took a penalty, but surely sent the message that they will protect their crease and goalie. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I have never been a fan of the Myers signing. As has been said, we had to pay more than he was worth to land him. But he does eat up minutes and takes the pressure off Edler and Tanev which I think has helped both. Elder doesn't seem as stretched and Tanev is clearly benefitting. I just wish Myers was more physical. I never expected him to be a big point getter, but in such important games like now I really wish he laid some guys out. IMO we still need a hitting, physical D-man, with limited roster spots available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
