STL needs the cap space and we don't wanna pay that much to dump Myers.

St Louis isn't apart of the deal. Its Vancouver and Seattle. Seattle gets back an ok d-man and a 1st and 2nd which is a pretty good return in my opinion.

With Hughes and Larsson (and possibly Rathbone) the Canucks dont need another offense first dman. Myers plays in all situations, and while overpaid- he wouldnt have been looking at much of a pay cut had he been an UFA this season, so saving $2mil for a worse defensive dman (whose playing on his wrong side- something Green isnt fond of). Dunn is younger- but again not enough to warrant anything close to a 1st round pick let alone including a 2nd.
