Canucks' Tyler Myers Weighs No-Move Call With Detroit Bid on Table as Deadline Nears

Dallas is positioned as his preferred destination after freeing cap space with Tyler Seguin on long-term injured reserve.

Overview

  • Detroit has a reported offer for Myers, widely described as a second-round pick, and Elliotte Friedman said the proposal remains in play with hopes for clarity by the end of the weekend or Monday.
  • Myers holds a full no-movement clause and has been scratched for roster management, giving him final say on any trade before the March 6 deadline.
  • Dallas, Detroit and Anaheim are in the mix, with Frank Seravalli reporting Myers is warming to a move and is partial to the Stars following their new cap flexibility.
  • Separate from Myers, Detroit has been described by Bruce Garrioch as aggressively pursuing Elias Pettersson, but Friedman reports Vancouver is not willing to retain salary on the $11.6 million cap hit.
  • Pettersson was benched late in a recent game and acknowledged he needs to be better, and with quiet trade traction reported, a blockbuster before the deadline remains uncertain.
