ken kaniff Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) EDITED to include a 3rd coming back from NJ Vancouver: D Tyler Myers (3x6mill) New Jersey: D PK Subban (1x9mill), 2022 3rd round pick New Jersey gets rid of Subban and gets Myers for an additional 2 years. I think Myers is still a serviceable top 4 d-man and he played well last year for the most part, idk why people dump on him so much here. Benning was looking at Subban before. Former Norris winner. His contract is up after this season allowing more cap flexibility for resigning core players.

HC20.0 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 OEL, Hughes, and Subban on the same top 6 is a defensive disaster waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 NJ gets better, we get worse and don't gain an asset? not sure why we do this. NJ would in a heartbeat tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Its not cap flexability if JB has to go sign another UFA D next year we know how that goes. Subban in a tire fire why would we trade a serviceable player for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post buddhahoodlum Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 I don't get the hate for Myers. Sure he's probably paid 1 million too much but he brings things to the team we need. Our internal cap structure should be fine going forward. 5 4 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 We need to resign Petey and Hughes. Adding an additional 3 mill in salary this year would make that impossible to do without moving someone out. Swapping Subban in for Myers also weakens our already weak blueline even more, not to mention we lose Myers size. Also, if we really want to ship Myers out, why would we do this now and weaken our team when we could play out the year and try to move him next offseason when one more year is knocked off his contract, which would make him more appealing to other teams? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) NJ is free and clear of Subban in a Year. I’m not sure they’d have any interest in taking on an older $6m bottom 4 D for another 3 years when they could can free up $9m of cap space to make a big move next season Edited August 15, 2021 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think New Jersey wouldn't do this deal. They clear $9 million in cap space next summer and can make a run at Colton Parayko... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Really the Habs should be trying to get PK back. With Weber gone PK would be their best D, and by a lot. Romanov for PK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Subban is a far cry from the player he used to be. Myers plays mean and can punish players. He is more valuable to us and can clear the crease better than anyone else on our team. Hard pass, even with the temptation to move Myers remaining years under contract.

YEGCanuck Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Please stop it with the Subban trade proposals. He may have been a Norris winner however those days are well in the rear-view mirror. Myers is signed, we have to live with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjick_fan Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’d really like to see our players this year. And I really want to see if OEL and Myers can showcase themselves with a far different defensive group than a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's probably paid 1 million too much but he brings things to the team we need. Our internal cap structure should be fine going forward. I don't get the hate for Myers either. He's big, can play with a nasty streak, skates well for a big man, has a decent shot from the point, can jump into the play, dependable on the PK and seems like a good teammate...like all defencemen in the NHL, he gets beaten in his own zone from time-to-time. He hasn't become the superstar that he looked like he was going to become after his Calder winning season, but IMHO, Myers is a legit no. 4 d-man on almost all teams not called the Tampa Bay Lightning. Big fat NO to this proposal. Canucks have already gone through a Subban experiment. I'd rather see an OEL-Myers combination than and OEL-Subban pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'd really hate to lose Myers...people here often don't know what we've got till it's (they're) gone. Hard pass on this one. I like Myer's quiet, put on his workboots and go, no drama attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
