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. His play can be improved with a coaching upgrade in Baumgartner. Contract was signed when Benning thought the cap was going up by 6-7mil. He has unreal mobility for his size and we've seen why he was signed these playoffs with his snarl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Don’t know what the OP is watching this playoffs but it’s not Myers. Maybe he thinks JV is Myers or something. He’s been one of JB best signings. I’d compare it to Miller (goalie) - if he didn’t find a great goalie no way would he have any chance with his mandate at the time. New mandate and nothing in the top four but Tanev. RHD is a team weakness this shored it up massively, figuratively and literally. He’s not overpaid - want to see overpaid wait and see what AP gets and Myers is faster then him and hits/plays rougher. To me he’s played a vital role in this seasons fortunes. After years of overwork both Edler and Tanev are getting a much needed breather - Myers has taken a huge load off their shoulders both on special teams and taking some of the best competition on since he arrived 5 x 5 and was actually and upgrade on Edler when Edler went down and took over the 2nd unit as a result. Supported the signing 100% at the time (go back and watch what Burke had to say - nothing to disagree with), and get at least 3 prime years out of him maybe up to 5. Defenseman often peak in their 30’s but nobody brings this up. Maybe it’s because in the “new” NHL 30 is the new 35 or something. Ask Burns. Ask Lidstrom. Visnovksy...long list really. As far as cap goes 2/3’s we’re thinking he’d get 7 x 7 given he’s a legitimate top four RHD - and they rarely hit the market. Was considered fair or even team friendly at the time - by the experts. I love this signing and can’t wait until JB has the cap to make another just like it for our D. Nobody complained when we added Hamhuis and Ballard at exactly the same cap hit percentage wise back in the MG days. Why would anyone complain about Myers, especially after the playoffs we’ve had. He’s been our toughest player all post season. Huge pace palm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Myers has more snarl the Tryamkin did. Even after been forced to watch film on Pronger. Maybe he’s added that element to his game now - hard to tell by highlight videos any defenseman including Tanev could get hits and cross-check plays added to theirs and make them look tough/rough. He’s played the entire post season like a Pronger-Lite. Agree with the rest except the 4.5, that’s second contract range not UFA range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then we need to make another one about how QHs has been owned all series and maybe we should have drafted Bouchard instead ok? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what other Dman are signing for on other teams, those extra 2-3 years are going to hurt big Not very likely. In fact I bet he could get another contract when this ones done if he wants. If you need some help with the arithmetic he will be around Edlers current age when his contract is done. I bet Edler gets another deal next year too. Defenseman rarely fall off a cliff when they lose foot speed the same way forwards do. Especially the better ones which for sure Myers is in the same class as. Often have career years 30-33 as well. There is zero reason to think that a five year contact at 29 is going to turn into a “hurt big” situation for half of the term with guys like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! In fact the entire team needs to be called a bust! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 He had the job he was paid to do, lessen the minutes for Tanev and Edler and has done his job well. Overpayment is a necessary evil but sorely needed considering the state of the defence in last few years before this season. Both of them are healthy and Tanev never missed a game so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
