Thread: Tyler Myers Trade
In a world where Erik Gudbranson gets chance after chance—you have to believe that there are still GMs who want to trade for big, tall RD like Tyler Myers.

Here are four teams that could trade for Tyler Myers. They both have the cap-space to fit a player like Myers, and they have have holes on their RD that could still be upgraded. They may have missed on filling their roster on the primary market and may need to look at a player with warts (like Myers) on the secondary market to fill out their roster.

Not saying that any team is going to trade a lot of value for Myers. They may even ask for a sweetener, salary retention, or for Vancouver to take back a bad contract too. The Canucks motivation is to clear as much of this contract as possible so they can sign both Hughes and Pettersson to long-term extensions this off-season rather than bridge them.

Thread: Buchnevich - yes please
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>Canucks declined that trade, but it makes sense why they did

Watch that one Rangers fan say "Rangers easily decline"</div></div>

I wouldn't be so sure about the Canucks declining a 1:1 Horvat/Buchnevich swap... Buch is a premier player according to the fancy stats, but Horvat's value is increased because of how scarce top six centers are to trade for. It only makes sense for Vancouver if they believe that Miller can slide back from first line winger to second line center. The step back from Horvat to Miller is a lot smaller than the step forward of adding Buchnevic to the top-six.

Thread: Internal Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SakuThornton</b></div><div>I would suggest you do a bit more research on the topic here, you seem to be quite misinformed.</div></div>

The "rumor" from Nick Kypreos last week was already debunked by the local media in Vancouver. The folks that are actually connected to the inner-workings of the Canucks have all strongly suggested that the Canucks have zero interest in OEL this time around.

And, I would suggest you give the Canucks fans (or any fan that gives you feedback about the trades you proposed with their team) a bit more respect for taking the time to respond and give you their feedback. We all ought to know that everyone who submits one of these mock GMs is usually taking a huge shot in the dark. The posters who respond back are usually fans of the teams involved in trades and signings. These fans clearly have the time to listen to talk radio, go on twitter, reddit, internet forums like this. They are informed and probably have a much better pulse on what is being said about their team than anyone from outside the market.

Good luck moving that $50mm contract, though.
