Canucks Agree to Trade Tyler Myers to Stars for 2 Draft Picks The Vancouver Canucks have agreed to trade defenseman Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars in exchange for two draft picks, according to sources. The deal is expected to be finalized once the Stars and Canucks complete the necessary paperwork. Myers, a veteran blueliner with over 800 NHL games under his belt, has been a stalwart on the Canucks' blue line since joining the team as a free agent in 2019. Despite being an important piece of the team's defensive corps, Myers found himself in the midst of a crowded group of defensemen and fell out of favor with head coach Bruce Boudreau. The trade is seen as a win-win for both teams, with the Stars gaining a steady presence on their blue line to help bolster their playoff push. The Canucks, meanwhile, get two valuable draft picks to help build for the future. The trade also marks the end of an era for Myers in Vancouver, where he had become a fan favorite and was known for his physical play and leadership abilities. Despite his impressive career statistics, however, Myers' production had dipped significantly over the past few seasons, leading many to speculate that his time with the Canucks was coming to a close. With the trade now official, the Stars will look to Myers to help stabilize their defense and provide some much-needed depth as they make a push for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Canucks will turn their attention to rebuilding and retooling their roster through draft picks and other moves in the near future.#NHL #Tyler_Myers #Vancouver_Canucks #Dallas_Stars
Canucks Acquire 2nd and 4th Round Picks from Dallas The Vancouver Canucks have bolstered their draft prospects by acquiring a pair of picks in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. In a trade announced today, the Canucks sent forward Marko Dano to the Dallas Stars in exchange for their second- and fourth-round selections. Dano, who has struggled to find consistency with the Canucks since being acquired from Columbus in 2015, will look to revive his career with the Stars. In return, Vancouver adds another layer of depth to its prospect pool, which already boasts highly touted youngsters like forward Nils Hoglander and defenseman Quinn Hughes. "We're excited about the addition of these picks to our draft arsenal," said Canucks General Manager Jim Benning in a statement. "We believe Marko has a chance to re-establish himself as a top-six forward with Dallas, while we continue to build for the future through shrewd moves like this one." The trade marks the third time in the last year that the Canucks have dealt away a player in exchange for draft picks. In December, they sent defenseman Erik Gudbranson to Anaheim for a second-round selection, and in February, they traded forward Thomas Vanek to Columbus for a fourth-rounder. With these latest additions, Vancouver now holds five picks in the upcoming draft, including two in the top 100. The team is expected to be busy this summer, as Benning looks to continue rebuilding the roster through a combination of free agency and the draft.#Columbus #Vancouver_Canucks #Jim_Benning #Dallas_Stars #Marko_Dano #NHL_Entry_Draft #Erik_Gudbranson #Anaheim #Thomas_Vanek
Vancouver Canucks Defenseman Traded to Streaking Stars The Dallas Stars, riding a seven-game winning streak, made a significant move to bolster their defense, acquiring Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers in exchange for two second-round draft picks. The trade comes as no surprise, given the Stars' recent surge and the team's need for depth on the blue line. Myers, 32, has been a steady presence on the Canucks' back end since joining the team in 2019. He has recorded 20 points (4 goals, 16 assists) this season, playing in all 44 of Vancouver's games. The 6-foot-8 defenseman brings size and physicality to the Stars' defense corps. In return, the Canucks will receive two second-round draft picks from Dallas, which could help rebuild their organizational depth. Myers' departure leaves a void on Vancouver's blue line, but the team has other options in place to fill the gap. The trade is just the latest move by the Stars to strengthen their roster as they push for a playoff spot. With 24 games remaining in the regular season, Dallas sits just three points out of a wild-card position. The addition of Myers should provide a boost to the team's power play and penalty kill units. Myers will join a crowded defensive corps in Dallas, which includes John Klingberg, Miro Heiskanen, and Esa Lindell. Despite the competition for playing time, Myers' experience and physical presence are expected to make an immediate impact on the Stars' lineup.#Tyler_Myers #Vancouver_Canucks #Dallas_Stars #John_Klingberg #Miro_Heiskanen #Esa_Lindell
