The Vancouver Canucks (18-33-7) are almost certain to be a team that will likely be a sure-fire seller on the NHL’s trade deadline. Certainly one of the highest targets that multiple teams are likely to take a look at include defenseman Tyler Myers. He has size, strength and experience, and that makes him a really attractive players to any team that’s in search of a blue liner who generally is a stopper in his own zone.
The concept of losing the 6-8, 230-pound Myers is hard on his Vancouver teammates. While Myers has never been a superstar at any point in his 17-year profession, he has been a dependable player who can play a physical game.
Myers has played for the Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets and Canucks. He has never been an enormous offensive threat, but he has played 1,123 games in his profession and he has scored as many as 9 goals and 36 points in a season.
Brock Boeser, one in all the Canucks’ most impressive offensive players, doesn’t wish to see Myers play for another team, but he understands that he’s going to be a pretty defenseman for plenty of teams.
He’s such an enormous voice within the room,” Boeser said in an interview with Iain MacIntyre Sportsnet. “He’s an enormous leader and losing him will suck. He’s such a great guy, an important guy for the young guys and everybody across the rink. Personally, I believe he deserves the prospect to go win a Cup and just hope he chooses the best team.”
Myers can actually play a job for a team that needs a defensive stopper who can block shots.
