The view on Myers is essentially; His bonus is paid Sep 1st, meaning he'll only be owed $1mil in actual salary afterwards. He essentially becomes asset positive at this point, particularly for teams trying to reach the cap floor.
Granted majority of teams will have already sorted their D core at this point, but the longer the Canucks hold Myers, the more his value increases.
By the time the deadline rolls around, it wouldn't be surprising to see him net a 3rd or even 2nd rounder, with retention.
A huge, puck moving, veteran right defenseman with lots of playoff experience at a $3mil cap hit will likely be sought after, especially as teams start entering significant LTIR levels
