This is peak Myers, we will never see him better than now. The way Juulson has been playing I think we can afford to get some assets back for TM and/or make cap room for a big top 6 upgrade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the NY area sweep has only happened a few times in NHL history. Yep, what a crock of shit the NHL is.... I love how they use "slumping" to make it seem more that the Islanders gave us the win than we earned it. And 3 in a row...but sure, play that part down too. On the road, against NY teams.

Popular Post Cocanuck Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 It doesnt matter what media says or anyone else for that matter. Fact is, nucks are a very very good team! They are earning more respect throughout the league and as they continue that level of play their respect and recognition will only increase. This is a team that nobody will be lining up to play in the postseason!! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better pairing partners. Far better coaches. He's 34 in.3 weeks. It has nothing to do with 'eye test' - with these conditions, this is it, this is as good as we'll ever see him. If we can sell (relatively) high on him now, AND clear his cap to make other upgrades its time. Juulson won't provide any offence thats true, but we don't need him to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much is the eye test imho... to say we can just remove Myers production and ice time and replace him with Juulsen's production... to add a forward... Sorry I just do not agree. And seems to me the coaching staff does not agree with you either. Juulsen is not the answer... We need depth on D Now if we had a RHD prospect ready to go and actually produce and eat minutes then I am all for moving on from an aging defense man in a contract year as you said.

If we can turn Myers via a cap clearing move into a 2C we'd be better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spook007 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, -dlc- said: Also, re Myers....one of my biggest beefs has been how he actually screens our goalie rather than clearing out the front of the net. Also those diving along the ice plays where, when he misses, it puts him completely out of the play. He hasn't done that lately so it's seems they've cleaned that up. Sure, on occasion that's a desperation play that may work. But not as a "go to". I wish he'd play more physical....Joshua, JT, Lafferty and Juulsen all have more hits in less games played than him. That's one of my beefs, is that he doesn't use his size as an advantage as much as he could. He did destroy Duncan Keith.... For that alone, I will forever be grateful for him... One of the best hits for the Canucks this last decade... 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I actually liked the All star game more 8 - 9 years ago, but this years looking to be an amazing one for the Canucks.

My guess is they'll hang onto Myers for a playoff run and let him walk in the off season as he's probably priced himself out of van with the year he's having. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 At this point I’d rather trade Kuzmenko + picks + B prospects for a Top 6 upgrade. The defence group is finally playing solid. We finally have depth. When is the last time we were able to give a player like Cole the night off? Players get banged up in the playoffs and it’s better to have another capable dman sitting on the side. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers has a love / hate relationship with the fans... When the team is struggling, he just seems to be caught constantly in bad positions, but when he is on, he is awesome. During the Bubble playoffs run, he was the strongest and toughest of our defenders. Got penalised time and time again for being big compared to other players... This its one of the reasons he doesn't play really hard, as he'll just get sent to cool off... Now he isn't alone in playing hard hockey on the backend, so less focus towards Myers. I expect him to be really good come playoffs. Whether its because he has better playing partners, or its because of coaching, I don't know, but he has definitely found the melody again.

Toffoli would be a great add. Reasonable cap hit and on an expiring contract. A good rental type player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
