NHL Trade Buzz: Canucks Hold Out Myers for Roster Management Purposes The Vancouver Canucks are reportedly holding out defenseman Tyler Myers from the trade market, as they look to manage their roster ahead of the 2023 playoffs. Myers, who has been a key contributor to the team's blueline this season, is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July. According to sources close to the situation, the Canucks are looking to re-sign Myers to a long-term deal, but they want to do so on their own terms and not be forced into making a hasty decision due to trade deadline pressure. The team is said to be prioritizing its depth and flexibility moving forward, and Myers' impending free agency presents an opportunity for the Canucks to get ahead of the curve. With the trade deadline just over two weeks away, the Canucks are expected to continue to shop around for other options on defense, while also keeping their options open in terms of re-signing or trading away current players. The team's general manager has been quoted as saying that they will be "aggressive" in their pursuit of upgrades, but so far, no deals have been reported. Meanwhile, the Canucks' top-six forwards are said to be on the radar for several teams looking to bolster their attacking corps. Players like Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson have reportedly drawn interest from multiple suitors, with some teams believed to be willing to part with significant assets in order to acquire one of these talented wingers. As the trade deadline approaches, it remains to be seen how the Canucks will navigate the market and make moves that will benefit their organization in the long run. One thing is certain, however: Tyler Myers' future in Vancouver hangs in the balance until a deal can be reached or the trade deadline passes.#NHL #Tyler_Myers #Vancouver_Canucks #Brock_Boeser #Elias_Pettersson
