how long it Myers expected to be on IR??

5 mil for Stralman?????????

He is out for few weeks. Should be healthy scratch towards the end of October or start of November for sure.

Are you seriously paying a first to dump 6mil Myers and then signing 5mil Stralman? That is next level Jim Benning stuff right there. Myers>>>>Stralman. This whole idea is pointless

Do you know nothing about the Canucks? There is no chance he is a healthy scratch.

sharks want to do this but don’t have enough cap space.

Stralman had 23 points in 74 games. 100 blocked shots. 32 takeways and only 28 giveaways. 99 hits for and only 75 hits against. 6 penalties taken and 4 penalties drawn. Considering it is only a one year contract, it is great value for one year rental.

It is literally reported that he will be back by the end of October or start of November.

Bo and Kuzmenko's contracts end this year. We need cap space to re-sign them. Bo will ask for at least 7 million and Kuzmenko (if he has a 40-50 point season) will ask for at least 5 million to stay long term. So we need to find around 6 million in cap space. The 2.4 million cap space created by Virtanen and Holtby buyouts will need to be spent on a RHD in the offseason.

Tyler Myers is terrible and no where near as good as Stralman if you consider the advanced stats.

Stralman had 23 points in 74 games. 100 blocked shots. 32 takeways and only 28 giveaways. 99 hits for and only 75 hits against. 6 penalties taken and 4 penalties drawn.

While Myers had 18 points in 82 games.148 blocked shots. However 56 GIVEAWAYS and only 32 takeaways. 145 hits for and 128 hits against. 24 penalties TAKEN and only 11 penalties drawn.

And anyone who has been watching Canucks games these past few seasons knows how much of a liability Myers has been. His defensive play is embarrassing at times and always find ridiculous ways to end up in the penalty box especially by tossing the puck above the glass when clearing. He needs to go for the Canucks to be a better defensive team.

You seriously think Stralman is the answer to our blueline? Delusional... Stralman is 36, he is set to retire soon and you want to give him 5 mil? He is not a 5 mil player.

You said he would be a healthy scratch...

Stralman is barely PTO worthy let alone worth more than Tanev

Very Benning like lol. Mind you the new guys just gave up a second for a fringe Dman .

Take out the 3rd going Vancouvers way and sharks do it. Don’t really have the space for it though

Don't like the trade, but we did gain cap space which was the main intention

Don't like the trade at first glance but until you see the results down the road, I have little to say about it. See how it plays out.

What I meant to say was that he will be healthy enough to be in the lineup by then.

Stralman is a one year rental to help the team's blue line for one year only. He is not a long term solution (see that is contract is only for one year). That is why trading Myers, Stralman's contract ending in one year and the cap space from the buyout will help sign a RHD long term. And help keep Bo and Kuzmenko long term as well. Additionally Stralman's advanced stats do show him good enough to earn 5 million for one year. However if we can negotiate that down to 3 or 4 million then that will be beneficial as well as it would allow us to enough cap space to go after a rental before the trade deadline. But I don't think that will be likely.

Stralman should be getting a league minimum contract. This isn't NHL 22.

The fact that this isn't NHL 22 but the real world is why he is not going to sign with any team for league minimum. If the Canucks can get him for less than 5 million, great. But I think he will ask for around that much money to sign as a rental. He kind of had a great year in terms of advanced stats last year.

We can get far better players at 5 mil than him. This whole idea is pointless. Ask any fan of any team and they will tell you Stralman is not worth 5 mil. You do realize that he was a cap dump right? He had a previous cap hit of 5.5 million, and it cost the Panthers a second round pick just to get rid of him
