Both players were signed by different GMs and fill different needs.  Cant say geter done Trader Jim anymore, one of the only things I'll miss about that era.

Why are you trying to make our team weaker?

 

We have a LOT of offense depth, we don't have anywhere near enough depth on defense.

 

Who are you planning on replacing Myers with on the right side?

Like others have said, our problem is not with a lack of offensive players and Boudreau seems likely to turn things around with that core.

 

If anything, we need all the defensive skill we can get; therefore, this is a backwards move that makes zero sense for us.

Move on man!  We had him, we chose not to re-sign him (right or wrong) and Toffoli signed elsewhere.  Even if Benning is gone, I doubt Toffoli would welcome a trade back here after passing on him.  

 

Anyways, it's not what we need.  We need more depth and stability on our backend and removing Myers doesn't help with that one bit.    Is Myers overpaid yes, but with QH and EP signed mid/long term, and Luongo coming off the books and a potential for the cap to boom once the economy restart, not sure that saving cap space is a priority right now.

Wouldn't mind Myers for a more defensive defenseman but it doesnt make sense to bring in another offensive specialist especially a forward. We have 3 scoring lines that are going to light it up under Boudreau.

I’m thinking his performance up till now has something to do with the wacked system he was playing under give him time with Bruce and we will see him make that contract look like a bargain.

ps: To oil fans ^^^that use this board his hit on old Duncan makes his contract a bargain for me  :bigblush:

Exactly.  Even Dickinson looks dangerous out there.  He was playing with Jamie Benn in Dallas, so I was wondering why he sucked so badly when he came here.  Now we know the answer.  Green.

Smyl would laugh even harder if Gorton called him for this trade.  We already have 3 lines going.  We don't need Toffoli.  Myers is crucial on the backend playing with OEL.

3 lines going? Vancouver is 28th in the league for goals for/game.  Just ahead of Montreal.  I wouldn’t say they have 3 lines going.  Regardless a rebuilding team line Montreal has no use for a 31 year old $6m boat anchor with 3 years left on his contract.

bingo. Trading Myers now  for Tinfoili would be a big mistake. Don't need him and we'd be even weaker on d.
