The trading deadline is rapidly looming, and uncertainty is still lingering as far as the Vancouver Canucks locker room is concerned. As the team comes to overcome a difficult period, a veteran defenseman in the form of Tyler Myers has turned into the center of persistent NHL trade speculations. His recent lack of the lineup, courtesy of the roster management decision, has only contributed to speculation.With the long-term decisions regarding the Canucks roster pending, players are starting to come out and talk about what a possible exit of Myers would entail. The 17-year NHL veteran has been a stable figure on and off the field, and his potential departure is not only an indication of a deal but also of how the organization is headed as the NHL clock runs out.
Brock Boeser and Tom Willander discuss Tyler Myers’ Vancouver Canucks future
Forward Brock Boeser did not avoid the emotional burden of the situation. He calledMyers a big voice within the room and one that players of a younger age always look up to. Boeser stressed that it would be hard to lose such a respected leader, but he knows the facts that are associated with the NHL trade deadline.Boeser also observed that Myers should be given a chance to compete for a Stanley Cup championship in case he is transferred. As Vancouver is a retooling process, the management might focus on acquiring future assets, and this is the recurrent theme in recent NHL news roundup discussions.Young defenseman Tom Willander had the same sentiments. The 20-year-old gave credit to Myers because he provided him with good on-ice and off-ice advice. Willander indicated that, in addition to tactical directions, Myers has made a permanent mark on the career of developing players who are attempting to take root in the NHL.Myers has played an offensive role in several seasons with Canucks, and in addition to that, he has played a considerable number of minutes in shutdown scenarios. With increasing trade talk before the NHL deadline, it is still unclear what the next step to be taken by the Canucks will be.
