Donnie and Dhali were back on air today. Just as we head into training camp, they welcomed a few guests onto their show, and J.P. Barry kicked things off today. Barry notably represents Tyler Myers and gave an update about his client's future, whether it is in Vancouver or not.

Myers entering the last season of a five-year deal during which he carried a $6M cap hit. Barry was asked what the future looked like for his client in Vancouver, and there was no confidence on his part:

''He's in his final if he wants to continue to get another contract... He wants to show the rest of the NHL that he can help. It'll figure out where his market value is, .... he's gonna do whatever he can to have the best year possible, and that'll be the Canucks. If they decide to keep him at a different number or move on to another team.



'' If they decide to keep him at a different number''

Clearly, alluding to the fact that Myers hasn't nearly played up to the $6M he's been paid over the last four years. Nevertheless, a defenseman of his stature and experience definitely has suitors on the market; it's clear however that it's not at a $6M cap hit.

The Canucks have taken a different direction, and they've confirmed they weren't scared of taking big swings when they bought out Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The next move is expected to be Tyler Myers' departure, the question remains: when will he be off to his new adventure?
