Popular Post goalie13 Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 A "bust" would imply he's not living up to expectations. Myers is out there doing exactly what Myers does. There hasn't really been any drop off from previous seasons. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJVD Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Myers is actually pretty good. After he was hurt in round 1: 4 of the next 5 goals the Blues scored were from zone entries on the right side of the defensive zone and Stetcher losing a puck battle. Those are battles that Myers wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Myers is not a bust in any way. Worth his draft position many years ago and worth his recent contract with the Nucks. He is a unique talent: -With his size and reach he can make opposing plays adjust before they come to fruition -Plays a physical intimidating game. Not in the same as Byfuglien or Tryamkin, but certainly holds is own and creates space -Very solid puck mover and thinks the game quickly. To compare, just look at breakouts between Myers and Stecher -Has decent offensive ability with regards to occasional drives to the net and a heavy shot He's a clear-cut #3 D and that is worth anywhere from 4.5-6M so he's right on target.

GhostsOf1994 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Since myers returned, tuch has not looked like the same player? Maybe because our giant squished him a few times. I reaaaaally like when myers pinned tuch on the boards/glass and leaned on him. You could hear his vertebra cracking! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? You clearly don't know what an "albatross" contract is. Kudos on the bait though. Good dramatic effect - but poor timing to try to sell this - and not surprisingly, literally no analysis of Myers relative to his contract, whatsoever. Overall a pretty weak effort. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Myers contract is fine, his performances are fine, he breaks up plays, skates well, is able to skate the push out the D zone through traffic and has a reasonable transition game. he eats big minutes and allows other players to play. He isn’t a bust nor is it an albatross contract. i hope we are able to work something out with Tryamkin as a back line of Edler,Hughes,Myers,Tanev,Tryamkin, Juo and rathbone looks a quite nice mix of puck movers and decent own zone d men.

Devron Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) The price of free agency is high. 4 outta 5 times you over pay but we needed a righty in the worst way. He helps our D be average league wide as oppose to poor and I like the guy Edited September 2, 2020 by Devron44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Tannen Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Short answer - no. Marginally longer answer - I'd rather he was paid 4.5mil but realistically he probably got fair market value as a UFA. Sometimes he's a bit frustrating to watch but the D would be worse without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oldnews Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 Anyone here remember all the speculation that lead up to the Myers signing? I do. The drama around here revolved around the assumption that it would be a 7 year deal x 7 (or even 8 million). A $49 million range deal was the typical projection. Here's a generally credible source, actually... . @renlavoietva : I do believe Myers will be a 7 year contract. it could be $8 million per season. $6 million might be a bit low. It turned out to be a 5 yr deal worth a total of $30 million. Calling that an 'albatross' is like calling J.T. Miller a "cap dump" - renders these terms meaningless. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 No he isn't. He's actually pretty good at hockey and we got him at a slight discount as what other teams offered him. He took the discount to play here. He's dedicated to being a Canuck and people need to get off his back. There's still a small % of Canucks fans that just love finding a scapegoat and beating him to death... even when things are amazing and our team is only 6 wins away from a SCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Baratheon Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 Considering how these threads have gone lately, I am now expecting Myers to have the greatest game of his career tomorrow. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 14 hours ago, Dano.Canuck said: That mil or two a year could mean the difference between signing a young guy or not. Hey, I don’t dislike the guy but he seems over paid for his contribution. 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. No doubt he's around 1 mill overpaid.. But after next season he's due a 5 mill signing bonus. His salary for the last 3 years will be 13mill..... 4.33 mill per year. He'll have a 10 team no trade list leaving us 22 teams he can be traded to.. If we have to trade him some small market team will take him at 4.33 mill salary 6 mill cap..

JeremyCuddles Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Myers contract only worries me cause of covid and the ramifications of it. Although 5-5.5mil per would have been better. He has a good active stick but his defensive zone IQ isn't great. I like his physicality in the playoffs, lowkey I did not expect him to be this physical. 6mil isn't the end of the world for him. But it does kind of make things tricky going forward with the cap likely staying what it is for a while. But we don't exactly have a bunch of D prospects just waiting to break out. We have top 4 hopefuls in Juolevi, Woo and Rathbone. They'd all have to reach top 4 potential for Myers' contract to become a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 tyler myer is not a bust.. i mean his contract might be 1-1.5mil too high for what he's worth.. but given what was available in free agency and how badly the canucks needed to sign a top 4 defenseman.. was there any other choice? our defense even when healthy right now is suspect.. and looked even worse in these playoff when myers were out.. you think we'll be anywhere close to a player spot if that was our defense minus myer the entire season? Myer's contract is not the reason why we have a cap issue heading into the off season.. it's more the eriksson sutter beagle rousell etc and the uncertainty of Ferland.. sure we can spend his IR money.. but if he decides to come back and refuse to retire and is medically cleared.. we have to find another 3.5mil cap space to fit him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
