Captain Canuck #12 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The TB Lightning chapter in the Hockey News 2022-23 Yearbook says that Myers' play has been "trending the wrong way over the past couple of years". Maybe the Canucks should take a look at those advanced stats before grabbing him.. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I am going to really be surprised if Myers and Reilly in particular are not claimed. I could see Ottawa taking a shot at bringing Reilly back tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is we have to keep them on the roster. Myers maybe though. Tierney is way past his peak ... rather have Lazar for sure on the ice opening night. Myers over Burroughs or Poolman ... now that's intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what this says about the Canucks defense Well we did pick up Gelinas off waivers in 94, and he became an important piece of that oh so close to a championship team. Led the team in scoring once too. Wish all our wingers watched tape on Gelinas, fast and went to the dirty areas every shift if he could, during mostly the dead puck era for us ... so who knows. That same year Ray Whitney was also picked up from waivers ... crazy but true. IF we go there, i'd much rather we take a chance on a young guy (Myers?) then an old vet hanging on by his fingernails.

I loved Gelinas - I guess I forgot we got him off waivers. I won't ever forget though when we placed Markstrom on waivers and just bit our nails for 24 hours. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
‹(•¿•)› Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Unfortunately, I think there's a close to zero chance we claim anyone. I didn't realize how dicey the cap situation really is, but Stephen Roget's most recent CA article does a really good job of outlining the situation: https://canucksarmy.com/news/ltir-explained-exactly-how-canucks-set-opening-day-roster-stay-compliant-why It seems like without the Dickinson trade we wouldn't have even been able to ice a full team, let alone carry any extras, with all the players we have who are currently injured, but won't be out long enough to be put on LTI. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 9 hours ago, mll said: They should have the cap space to claim him as Ferland will be going on LTIR. They would have been cap compliant with Dickinson and Ph. Myers has a slightly lower cap hit. They would need to waive Stillman and could also maybe put Dermott on LTIR. Myers was waived by Nashville and no one put in a claim last season. He has a 2.55M cap hit but is owed 3.8M in salary this season and Tampa has also extended him at 1.4M for next season. Kind of expensive if it doesn't work out and no one picks him back up. it is expensive, but its all salary risk and no loss of prospects. We just gave up a 2nd, if this waiver grab works even if PM only becomes a 3rd pair d then the value of that pick is recovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To acquire a top 4 D-Man via trade cost you at least a 2nd round pick + a prospect. Time to act immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Ottawa taking a shot at bringing Reilly back tbh. I would be surprised if they were. They aren't really cheap contracts to take on if they don't work out. Neither contract can be fully buried + they each have another year. Boston probably tried to trade Reilly before putting him on waivers - even if only for future considerations as it's still better than having dead cap on the books. Also in a trade the team acquiring him can hope to move another contract even if it's an AHLer sent back re the 50 contract limit. Tampa wants to retain Myers - was only waived so they could paper him down to try and maximise their LTIR relief. Myers' salary is 3.8M this season alone (2.55M cap hit) and Tampa has already extended him at 1.4M for next season. Although TBL doesn't want to lose him, not sure a team would risk being stuck with that contract if he ends up not fitting in. Myers was already waived last TDL and went unclaimed - that was before he had that additional year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this summer involved too many signings and no trades. I still have reservations about re-signing Miller and not dealing with the Horvat issue.

If we play Burroughs and Stillman as our bottom pair, wouldn’t their total cap be less than what Philip Myers gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep your eyes out for @-Vintage Canuck-'s post regarding the waiver wire. He usually shares the tweets of who's on waivers within the minute of the lists being released. 8 minutes ago, mll said: 2pm EST.
