Posted yesterday: This was NBC Hockey Analyst, Pierre McGuire's speculation on one of the reasons why the Canucks' traded Garrison:The Tyler Myers-to -Canucks talk is all over the draft floor. Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, but there is a lot of buzz.
The Canucks have tabled an offer to the Buffalo Sabres for Myers, and it includes the No. 24 overall pick.
Obviously, the offer was rejected.Betamax wrote:LOL ... this is too good!
Pierre McGuire was just on TEAM Radio speculates that the Canucks' might be going after a top young defenseman. None other than Tyler Myers.
Yes the same guy that Canucks Corner's Hockey Analyst, Betamax, mentioned as a guy the Canucks' should target (as documented on this board) weeks ago!
What say you?

NBC's Pierre McGuire says #Canucks might have cleared cap space to try & acquire #Sabres D Tyler Myers. $5.5M cap hit, 5 yrs remaining.

But it doesn't mean the Canucks' can't still manage to pull a trade with the Sabres in the future. What would or could the Canucks trade that would appeal to the Sabres for them to accept a trade? In a previous post, I speculated maybe the 2015 1st round pick (that would be a huge leap of faith that the Canucks' aren't going to be in the lottery if you are GMJB) or a roster player like Tanev.
