I disagree. They're having a good season. Their top guys are locked up and aren't going. I think they'll be looking to strengthen their lineup for the playoffs.
They can be patient with Myers but they've also got Fabbro and Carrier so he's a moveable asset. Coach clearly doesn't care for him either.
NSH is having an unexpectedly good season. I don't think they're so good that they should be selling much of the futures yet. If they are thinking about bolstering the lineup, I think they'd be looking for:
-A goal scoring winger for the top six. Preferably a RW, as Kunin seems the mostly likely candidate to get bumped down in the lineup. Anyone worthwhile would be expensive of course, so that would be a risky addition. Promoting Jeannot to the top six full time might be a simpler, better option.
-A vet 4th line center rental, if they feel Novak is a little too green for a playoff run. A rental would be key though, as they aren't losing any of the centers they have in the off-season, plus Glass would presumably be in the mix next year too.
Pearson and Hamonic don't fill needs for the Preds, and the term they have remaining isn't an asset to NSH. The only part of the proposal that works for the Preds could be Grimaldi for a pick. Seeing as how the Canucks are so far back in the playoff race (despite their remarkable resurgence), acquiring a UFA makes little sense for them.
Bringing Myers along slowly isn't the same as the coach not liking the player. With Benning on the 3rd pair, they can let Myers work on his weaknesses and develop properly right now. They took a similar approach with Carrier's development, and that's paying big dividends now.
