There is no reason not to just let him play out his last year. Yup. Myers will actually have value (2nd rounder?) at the 2024 TDL, and we would only need to retain for the rest of that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Keep Myers and trade him at the next deadline with 50% retained for a 3rd & 7th round pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Honestly, trade him as soon as possible....as with Brock, as with Miller, as with Garland. Draft picks and cap space. Cap space would be the key for me as that can be used to take expiring bad contracts for more picks which are badly needed at this point. While we suck, I'd like to see some nasty pieces of work on the team too. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you can theoretically get more for him next TDL, there's opportunity cost to not opening up cap space sooner, not addressing our poor fitting top 4 sooner etc. Never mind the risk of him getting injured, the market contracting etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAVA-1 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 His contract is up after next year. We would also get out of the 5 mil bonus July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Toronto - hey so what about Myers vancouver - sold, he’s on the plane. Click. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNucks1 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 might as well wait for the summer when his bonus is up, rather than taking retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinar Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Toronto apparently likes term, likes multiples. If they're looking at buying from us, they are probably looking at more than one piece. They want a winger for the 2nd line, and they want a rhd. Garland, Boesser, Myers and Schenn are all basically available. Look at Engvall, Kerfoot, and Holl coming back, and then start adding the prospects and picks. We aren't in it to win it this year, and they are. What is wrong with loading up a team and watching them win, while you reap the future rewards? Even if it is Toronto. You have the conversations... Imagine if it was ....Boesser, Myers (1/2 retained), AND Demko going the other way? The haul you'd get back would definitely be extensive and more than worth it if it moved the needle to the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if we can't get something for him we should ride it out til at least summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who the lucky player/team would be to get that last spot for this year? Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
