N4ZZY Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 7 hours ago, Combover said: Yeah but we don’t need him (Myers) Juulsen has been more than adequate we can save cap by going with youth, brisebois was playing good before his injury to. im a pass on Myers I’m glad he finally managed to improve his play just in time for his contract year…… I think Myers can be had for cheap, you have to sign him, and the Canucks has always had a history of depleted depth on the backend. So the more depth we have back there, the better we'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign another guy to maintain depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign another guy to maintain depth. I guess it depends on how desperately he wants to remain here in Van. He's a local guy in the sense that he lives in Kelowna, and he's got a family. Moving to another team means uprooting his family. I'm not sure if there's a will to doing that at this stage of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess which team just dumped all of their defencemen? He was born in Houston, Texas actually, but he maintains dual citizenship due to his growing up in Calgary. He has stated his love for Kelowna and the BC province overall so this makes sense and if he sees it as his twilight tour before retirement, he may be willing to give a sweetheart deal for the stability of his family.

Unless Myers signs really cheap then we need someone to step up in a limited role. Well see how they do in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about that pettersson dude? D-Petey? He's nowhere near ready for even a bottom pairing role in the NHL. Need to allow that kid to cook down in the AHL, and allow Ryan Johnson and his staff work with him for at least a season or two if not three seasons. He needs to get used to the smaller rink (as is the case with most European players), and pace. McWard is interesting. I don't think Hirose is ready, and I'm not sure if Woo is even NHL calibre at this point. Isn't he waiver eligible next year? He's almost at that age where what you see is what you get, so if he doesn't start getting some limited NHL ice, looks like to me he could be another Christian Wolanin, minus the NHL games (at least Wolanin has played in some?).

It is big difference with him between last year and this.Who"s to say he cant go one more natch.Maybe some young guns from Abby can contribute,or be traded for something we could use.

I'm skeptical with what we have defensively in Abby. Out of the young defensive prospects - Defensive Petey, and McWard jump at me. Everyone else is either AHL defenseman, and journeyman, or they're not going to cut it in North American ice, and going to Europe to play out their careers. Your right, though, I'd never say never. I mean, if any prospect was going to make the jump, I'd hope it would be Woo. He profiles to me as an Bieksa kind of player, old school, hits, is physical. I just don't know if he can read the ice fast enough at the NHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Meyers can’t be had at a reasonable price then the question might become whether Juulson can play 2RD on a regular basis z? He has had a real solid season. His growth through the season has been hard to believe. Meyers at 34 becomes more of an outlier on the team demographic. He won’t get much term from PA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or management finds a 2RD in free agency? Sign another guy like Cole. Soucy plays right side too. Plus, Big Z can play right side. Multiple options to play 2RD. The Empties trust this management group to make a good choice. Unlike the previous GM; the moran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playoffs will tell the tale Alf. Meyers has never been a banger, not like Juuls or Zad. Meyers plays a decent game but is it good enough to want to resign him? If he has a solid playoffs how he is viewed might change. Players Meyers age might realize a Cup is within reach and this is their last crack at it.
