Important update on Tyler Myers' future with the Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have quite a few unrestricted free agents this summer, and with less than five weeks until the market opens, Patrik Allvin has some big decisions to make.
There's no doubt that Patrik Allvin is speaking with the agents for a good chunk of Vancouver's unrestricted free agents with names like Nikita Zadorov, Dakota Joshua and Tyler Myers to see if they can get a deal done before the market opens on Canada Day. Ideally, the Canucks would like to retain those three, among others, but it could be tricky.
During Wednesday's edition of the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed that there is natural optimism out there that the Vancouver Canucks will be able to get a contract signed with defenceman Tyler Myers.
Myers, 34, has been with the Vancouver Canucks for the last five seasons. While fans have mixed feelings about whether the team should re-sign him, he is a good veteran for the locker room and playing limited minutes in a third-pairing role would be the ideal scenario.
Statistically, Myers had the best season of the five years that he's been with the Vancouver Canucks. In 77 games, the Houston native had 29 points (five goals, 24 assists), 77 penalty minutes and was a plus-16. He went on to add one assist in 12 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
