Z keeps proving time and time again having a guy of his calibre keeps the other team honest and our boyz play bigger knowing he has there back. 3.5 x 8 Give him max term with low AAV I love DJ, but if he's looking for a big payday, he'll be the easiest to replace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 6 minutes ago, Rocket-68 said: The Chaos Giraffe, whom I like in a lot more games this year than I despised him in, would have some stiff competition from the group below. Most of the players below are filtered by "Free Agents that are 29 yrs old or older", a rough metric on UFA - haven't checked each individual one (EDIT: Status says all are UFA for the 2024 - 2025 season.) For example, would you rather have Ian Cole at $1.5 - 2M or TM at $3M each on a 2 year contract ... or ... Tanev on a 2x$3M contract ... or ... Justin Schultz on a similar contact as Ian Cole ... I am not assuming that the aforementioned players will sign contracts like that but would not be out of the realm of possibility. Personally, I think the Giraffe would be let go if he was asking for $3M AAV on term but then again I don't get paid the big bucks to make those kinds of decisions and am glad PA / JR are. I tend to agree with this, and given how good our coaches are at implementing a solid system I'm not worried at all about letting Myers walk as a UFA. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 (edited) Have you guys ever seen a greater turnaround in sports history in any sport? This team was a train wreck last year… now look at them… This management team and coaching staff has done the best job I have ever experienced… I’ve been a fan since ‘74… they deserve a hand for sure… Edited February 16 by I.AM.THE.WALRUS 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 3 minutes ago, stawns said: And who would they replace Myers with then? I'm betting a good chunk of rhd on the Ufa list will re-sign with their current teams? The tdl will give a bit of preview of who might be available as a ufa. Team will need to plug some spots. A lot of this will depend on how their RFA deals go. Which often take time to do. Practically every team model, is relying on Myers cap hit going elsewhere. If WNP doesn't re-sign Dillon, he'd be a good target. Tanev verus Myers is a reasonable discussion, an off season concern more than anything else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManbeastMARK Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Myers seems like a pretty likely candidate to take a hometown discount to stay in Vancouver. Something I presume he would have to do to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_Hawk Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 hour ago, Boudrias said: IMHO Juulson has been outplaying Meyers. He will likely end up as 7D for playoffs but his PK is superior to Meyers and Zad. I think the Van d-side might be complete as is. Juulson plays out the season for added reps. Soucy gets back for some games before playoffs. He is the 2LD IMO. Cole is decent as well. Looking good boys. Agreed. Barring any major injuries to top 4, the D is in great shape for a PO run. Juulsen and Friedman are a VERY good 7/8 option, and we have some vet guys in the AHL that can step in to fill teh 7/8 role if need be (Irwin, Wolanin, etc). Are biggest hole is another Dakota type player to play on teh 2nd or 3rd line. Bains or Podz would fit the mold....but maybe go after a vet like Maroon? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tanev might be an option but that would be another home town story kinda deal. I wouldn’t put it passed this management group to pull another Cole out of the proverbial hat though either.

I think there are lots of options (Tanev, Myers, cole,????), it will all come down to the $; the more we save, the more we can retain of our new core (Zad, Lindholm, dakota...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no one, in house, to take that spot Without Myers (and without bringing in another top four) D would look something like Hughes/Hronek Cole/Soucey Zadarov/Juulson that assumes we bring back Zad and Cole and also assumes Soucey can stay healthy. It’s feasible… arguments can definitely be made about whether that’s a great too 4 or not but it’s not horrendous. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland truly drives that line, and sets up the chances. Dakota has chemistry with him and finishes. ON another team, he is probably just an average checking 3/4 liner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Hughes the goon...The softest slashing call I've ever seen.... Team is rolling... Defence playing well, again, and its refreshing to actually have confidence in the D. Obviously helps that the forwards cover for the Dmen, when they venture into the O=zone.... structure...

BC_Hawk Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 4 minutes ago, stawns said: Imo a playoff team can't have Cole playing top 4 mins. That is a big regression I agree, but with Soucy back, we have a 1st pair, then two x 2/3 pairs (distribute the minutes between). This has actually worked well this year, as all 4 guys (Soucy, Zad, Cole, and Myers) fit this mold. VERY good 3rd pair guys...good but not great second pair guys. As such, even out the minutes, and it is functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Barn Burner Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 Who gives a friggin' shit about Myers. Start another thread. And let those who actually have a clue figure it out at the TDL or in the off-season. Our team is playing excellent hockey. That's what we're here to celebrate. Another great game, and payback for the game in Detroit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_Hawk Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 7 minutes ago, stawns said: Imo a playoff team can't have Cole playing top 4 mins. That is a big regression Agreed...but to my point previously; Cole/Myers combo is a serviceable 2nd pair evening out minutes. People under estimate how good and consistent Myers has been for us this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
