If he was playing 15-17 minutes a night, LIKE Hakanpaa, he'd look better Hakanpaa, take that to the bank

I don't really know what to tell you. He has been abysmal in a top 4 role, barely NHL caliber. If you want to hold his value over a calder trophy he won over a decade ago, be my guest. Just don't act like a team will pay a premium for him.

Sure... then you woke up

Myers is still very much an NHL defenseman, he only looks that way because he was asked to play 20+ minutes. If he was playing 15-17 minutes a night, LIKE Hakanpaa, he'd look better Hakanpaa, take that to the bank

Then why trade him? Give him 15 minutes and let him "be better".
Because truth is, he isn't. Myers stinks.

Lmao, your best comeback is to requote an older post that you already did and avoid the most recent one?

I already told you I don't know what else to say. Hakanpaa has shown to be a much more capable defenseman. Myers in that same role is a "what if". What we've seen from Myers is that he's terrible in a top 4 role. Combine that with a whopping 6m cap hit, good luck selling him to anybody,

Dallas isn't paying for a downgrade. Simple as that.

Myers has shown capability in a top 4 role, just not consistently, but those inconsistencies are not his fault, they are due to the surrounding environment being in a transition phase, obviously going from the previous regime that put irresponsibly put Myers in those difficult positions to try and succeed in, to the new regime that is trying to get more out of Myers, but didn't get to bring in their new coach right away, also not their fault. You're way overrating Hakanpaa, and now you've forgotten about the salary retention. You haven't considered all factors to definitively prove that the trade would be a downgrade for Dallas

Myers has shown nothing in a top 4 role. He's been terrible. He is brutal at denials and isn't the best puck mover to equate for that. His 5v5 defensive impact has been almost non existent.

The salary retention doesn't thread the needle either. Dallas is taking on 1.5m more in CAP HIT and paying a 2nd for it just to downgrade on a defenseman who has had worse metrics than the one who has done well in their system. What is so hard to grasp about that?

I know Canucks fans REALLY want to make that Myers contract work, but please, he's not good. Stop trying to sell him as if he is.

He had a positive defensive impact 5v5 in 2021, but in 2020 it was nearly as bad as it was this year. Sure, if you want to hang onto glimpses and flashes of "skill" that he's shown, be my guest. I'm not going to try and convince you that hes bad, I know he is, and if you are bewildered with stockholm syndrome then that isn't my concern. You can enjoy his albatross contract this season and cling onto the random 1-2 game she looks decent this season.

I'm not looking at 2-3 season's ago, I'm looking at last season.

And you've yet to explain to me why Dallas is paying a 2nd for a defenseman with a greater cap hit who's been worse analytically? Make it make sense to me?

It's not just 1-2 games, it's not about "flashes" of skill, and last season doesn't tell the whole story. As soon as you start making comparisons to psychological disorders, you lose all credibility

As soon as you think Myers is anything BUT cap dump you lose all credibility.

After his signing bonus is paid, he's no longer a cap dump if he's traded with salary retention. Nice try

You've yet to explain to me why Dallas is paying to downgrade.

I told you I don't see it as a downgrade, but fine, agree to disagree

Agree to disagree but what I failed to take in after all of this was even without Hakanpaa who's legitimately better you valued Myers at a 2nd

Maybe that's because you're a troll. I've seen your toxic posts on other threads, you have the same perpetual mal-adjusted snarl about you in each of them

Does my diagnosis come next?
