Sharks And Canucks Have Discussed Tyler Myers Trade

June 30, 2023 at 8:38 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 10 Comments

There has been an expectation for a while now that the Canucks will look to move the final year and $6MM that Tyler Myers has remaining on his contract in an effort to free up some cap space this summer.  In a recent appearance on Sportsnet 650 (audio link), Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reported that the Sharks are a team that’s believed to have discussed a Myers trade with Vancouver to the point that there has been a deal on the table for several weeks now.

It’s worth noting that Myers has a $5MM signing bonus that is payable in the new league year.  For many players, the payment date for those bonuses is July 1st.  However, Myers is one of the exceptions with his bonus believed to be payable in mid-September.  With that in mind, it’s possible that this could be the hold-up in a swap although Seravalli suggested that this isn’t necessarily the case.

The 33-year-old looked to be a two-way threat when he first came to the NHL with his best two offensive seasons coming during his first two years with Buffalo.  However, he has become more of a defense-only player, especially in recent years as he has managed just a single goal in each of the last two years with Vancouver.

However, he has logged more than 20 minutes per game throughout his career and while he may be better suited for a lower role at this point, the fact he can still cover tough minutes might be appealing to a team like San Jose which isn’t exactly loaded with proven blueliners and is trying to move their top one in Erik Karlsson.  In-season, he’ll have a prorated salary of just $1MM which could only help from a trade value perspective.

Considering what the market has been for teams looking to dump salary, Vancouver shouldn’t be expecting much of a return, if any, to clear Myers off the books.  But if they do have a viable option on the table to take on the contract, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them take it, either now or even if they have to wait until closer to training camp when the bonus is paid off.  If a deal is either done or agreed on in principle, Vancouver could be a team to watch for when the market opens up less than 24 hours from now.

    I don’t mind Myers on San Jose, they could use a legitimate NHL defender. The contract is obviously too much, but with the state of the Sharks and the one-year term, I’m Gucci.

    The clueless Sharks owner allowed Doug Wilson to run the Sharks into the ground and now It’s the Inexperienced woke hire of new GM Mike Grier running things, Head scratcher for sure but amusing at the same time.

      Way to miss the obvious point that I made, I understand it’s easy to lash out as a Sharks fan, They have been so bad for so long.
