Hectic Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have heard a very common narrative that Tyler Myers is one of the main issues with our team, and that he's been an anchor on D in a bad way. I personally feel that Tyler Myers is a top 4 D man - big, right handed, mobile, and can be offensive at times (he has flashes where I always think... why doesn't he do that more often?!). Sure he makes erratic plays from time-to-time, and who could forget the bubble playoffs where he would take 2-3 penalties per game (hence the name Tyler Minors.. loved that lol). But my question is this: if Myers is traded or bought out, who all of a sudden comes in and replaces him? Sure, $6 million in cap space opens up. Gudbranson got $4m on the open market, clearly RHD aren't cheap. So CDC, what would you do? Or keep the following: Hughes - Schenn OEL - Bear Dermott - Borroughs Personally I feel an OEL buyout would make more sense - easier to find LHD than RHD. And maybe next year Rathbone can stick with the team and Dermott moves up to the 2nd pairing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'd rather have Alf out there instead of Myers. Just yelling "MANAGEMENT WON'T ALLOW IT" up and down the ice. But really, there's no reason why we wouldn't at least be comparable with Burroughs out there in place of Myers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR7 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 No point buying out Myers, we would pay 5.666 million for the buyout. Save more by sending him to the minors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might even get a positive asset for him in a trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to move him before this summer. We're not making the playoffs. I don't want his cap hit hanging around next season if it can be avoided. I think there will be 2 or 3 teams this summer who will be willing to take his contract once his 5 million signing bonus is paid. The idea of eating up 6 million in cap space while only spending 1 million will be attractive to teams like Arizona who don't want to be above the floor for another couple of years and they want to spend under it if they can arrange it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Burroughs. But let their contracts play out. Myers we have for one year and OEL has more to give. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
