Details have come out about where Tyler Myers might go next, as one of the top teams hoping for the Stanley Cup is no longer in the running.
The Vancouver Canucks are likely to keep making big changes after letting go of star player Quinn Hughes and forward Kiefer Sherwood earlier this season.
Patrik Allvin has made it known that everyone on the team could be traded while they work on revamping the roster.
More players’ names are popping up in trade talks, but last night the team scratched a seasoned defenseman from the game.
Tyler Myers did not play in the match against the Winnipeg Jets for “roster management purposes,” which hints that he might be the next to get traded.
Information is slowly coming out about where he could go, but one important team has dropped out of the competition.
It has been confirmed that the Edmonton Oilers are officially out of the hunt for Myers.
The Oilers could really use some help on defense for their playoff chances, but according to TSN’s Ryan Rishaug, they aren’t interested in the 6-foot-8 defenseman.
Myers offers a unique mix of size, toughness, and experience on defense to any team.
Even though he hasn’t scored much lately, with only eight points in 57 games, he still plays over 20 minutes every game and is second on the team for blocked shots.
The Canucks have apparently offered Myers a specific trade option, and he is currently discussing it with his agent, J. P. Barry.
Since he has a full no-movement clause, he gets to choose where he wants to go next.
Teams like the Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings are still looking for a reliable right-handed defenseman.
It’s said that the cost for Myers might be a pick in the middle rounds, which would be a great deal for a Vancouver team that is starting to rebuild.
More information will be shared as we get closer to the March 6 deadline.
