Actually, Drance put it really well. He gets to learn what it means to be the big dog. He will be expected to be the best player on the ice for either team and play in every situation as the potential Alpha. He isn't going to experience that on the main team for years yet. Add playoff expectations and I think there is lots to learn and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a workhorse, can play in all situations, has size, plays physical, can skate and his salary isn't nearly as bad as people think. They'd have a tough time replacing him for cheaper Well last season Adam Larsson signed for 4 years 4 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL (contract) is impossible to trade without huge amounts of sugar, so he’s staying. Myers goes. We likely add a bit of sugar and retain some too, but he’s the guy out. OEL can carry his partner Hughes carries his partner Myers needs to be carried. He’s got to go. We need to move Myers and Miller. Plus one of Boeser or Garland. If Hughes "carries" his partner (Schenn) why is he only +7 and Schenn is +13 . Think LS is a positive for QH. Agree on Myers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Myers You really think Schenn can carry a top pair? We have two D who carry their partner. Put them with whomever, and they will still do well. Hughes and OEL. Myers sucks old socks unless he’s with a better player than he is. Im hopeful we can dumperoo him, but it’s going to cost sugar and retention.

It would be fabulous if we could do a deal where we can move Myers for Larson. I think all Canuck fans would celebrate!

We are Canucks homers after all. How long did it take us to realize Juolevi was a bad pick 2, 3, or 4 years lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stech is a skilled character player who continues to improve as an NHLer. His contributions to the last IIHF World Championship winning team - were stellar, even heroic! Healthy scratched you say - who knows why? The LAK went out & got him because they wanted/needed him & believed that he could be more than just a light-weight asset to their NHL-team & locker room. Stech is being scratched in LA and couldn’t make the starting roster in Detroit for most of his time there. Last I watched him he was moving the puck better but his board battles were not going well. As a 3rd pairing d-man with limited offensive upside I think teams are willing to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Outplayed, outclassed, outwhatever. Canucks aren't good enough, haven't; been in 10 years. As the Canucks mantra goes - maybe next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanny Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I turned on the game just in time to see Pod make a determined rush into the Flames zone, just to get hammered into the end boards, which should have been a charging/targetting/boarding call, quickly followed by a cheap $#% trip call on us as the flames were bringing the puck out, and the flames 4th goal. Anybody here as pissed on the Pod hit as I was, or was I dreaming? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck-lifer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 34 minutes ago, sockeye said: I disagree with all the hate directed at Myers. You need to put the salary aside. Our D would be much worse without him. I double checked and he has the best +- on the team at +16. Schenn is next at +13 then Hughes at +7. Like all our D, Myers has the odd gaff but he is solid defensively all things considered. I hope we keep him next season. Plus we need his size and he is a good skater. Don't disagree he's had his best year as a Canuck. A lot of that is thanks to OEL whos defensive play against the top lines has been very solid. Tops on our team. so you have 2 D over 7M in Hughes/ OEL so he has to go along with Poolman . Keep Schenn, Burroughs, Dermott (great pickup), and trade for a top 4 RD. Both Poolman and Myers will be tough contracts to trade but for sure Myers should be out CAP wise It may take bundling Garland or Boeser with Myers for a top RD but have to look long term here. Should be a very interesting summer as the JR/PA put their stamp on our future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying was I don't believe QH carries Schenn, while Schenn isn't in QH's league he compliments him and allows him to utilize his offensive gifts better. To say QH carries Schenn is opinion not supported by the stats, It's a symbiotic relationship. Style makes fights as they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Myers is full value in my books. I don't think people understand how much our team relies on Myers play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on him quickly all night. He hung in there though. His progression over the last two months in particular have been nothing less then stellar. Having Boudreau has been fantastic for him. Welcome aboard!! Maybe Brady cried to Matt about getting punched in the mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
