eeeeergh Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Thank louieriksson (god) that Zaitsev vetoed this trade. Zaitsev can’t crack a lineup in which HAMONIC is in the top 4. Myers may be the lord of long necked mammalian chaos but Zaitsev belongs in the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Not all Russians are alike. Mikheyev, Podkolzin, and Kuzmenko all seem smart and working hard towards their goals. But for every Larionov there's a Krutov, or maybe more like a Tryamkin. Maybe we dodged a bullet. Picks or young prospects is what we should ask for Myers. No rush. Just before TD, they'll be a lineup. How much salary would Canucks have to even retain? I guess it depends on the trading partner's own cap flexibility, to afford the hit, but really, its not much of gamble with only one year left after this season, at 6 million. There are worse D in the league making more than that for a much longer contract. Now if Canucks retaining salary means that the other team bumps the return, that might work too.

There's no other replacement. While I don't disagree, Bear softens that blow a bit. They "could" manage with bear, schenn and Burroughs on the right side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the playoffs, but our current group probably doesn't accomplish that anyway. Could get by with those guys and maybe Woo. Particularly if the losing continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I buy that Zaitsev vetoed the trade if he was waived by Ottawa to play in the AHL. Pretty sure he accepts to play on an NHL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Myers is another dude I think very highly of as a person but he is a turnover machine and honestly I expected a little more offensively from him. I would like to see Burroughs play more so win-win if they can shed some cap space by letting the chaos giraffe run rampant somewhere else (pref in the east). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on his play but he had a fight recently stepping up for a teammate that got hit I believe. Also, thought I read Keeper got some 4th line minutes...not sure if true though. Not a bad idea to convert a player like him to a forward. Tough, can dish out more hits on the forecheck...worth a shot if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) I think we can get more for Myers if we hang onto him until next year.. after his signing bonus is paid out. Painful to say but it the price we have to pay for these terrible contracts. Our only option is to swap trash for trash right now.

Conscience Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We really dont need myers, his caphit or his turnovers. At least burroughs knows how to play a simple game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers, as a coming UFA at the 2024 TDL will have a lot of value, especially if we retain 50%. Much like with Dickinson, it would be a “win now” move to trade Myers anytime before he has actual positive value. We need to stop giving up future assets (as sugar) in hopes to “win now”. All that’s doing is creating losing now, with little to no hope for a future that will have winning. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yorkton Terrier Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I wish I could photoshop. I’d paste Myers’ face on the observation part of the CN tower. Id have such a blast admiring my brilliance. I’d Be all.. There you go Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 So Zaitsev rather play in the AHL than come to Vancouver lolololololololololololol state of the franchise. can’t actually say I blame him. Probably should thank him. Seems like an odd trade we get some cap relief but really we should be looking for players without trade protection so we can flip them to.

He is the one that would nix any trade. Plus, Myers for Zaitsev is a very bad deal for us, unless the Sens were significantly adding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
