The Vancouver Canucks and defenseman Tyler Myers are actively seeking a trade before the NHL deadline, with developments expected soon. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reports that a resolution could occur within the next 24 to 48 hours, as negotiations continue to evolve.
Current Status of Offers and Interested Teams
According to Friedman, the Detroit Red Wings remain the only team to have made a concrete offer for Myers. However, it is unclear if any other teams have submitted official bids, as the situation appears to be in flux. Friedman noted,
“Before you even ask me, there’s still no resolution on Myers,”
reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the trade talks.
Tyler Myers’ Influence on Trade Decisions
Tyler Myers holds a no-movement clause, giving him significant control over his potential destination. NHL insider Chris Johnston explained that while the Red Wings are eager to bolster their defense with Myers, the player himself may be reluctant about relocating there.
“The trade that was put in front of him and his agent this week was to the Detroit Red Wings. At this point in time, I think that is not necessarily a place Myers is looking to go, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to be moved before the deadline,”
Johnston said.
Challenges Facing the Canucks in Finding a Trade Partner
The Canucks face a complex situation where Myers’ preferences must be considered, limiting the pool of viable trade partners. Since Myers can reject moves due to his no-movement clause, Vancouver might need to explore alternative teams beyond Detroit for a successful trade before the deadline.
Implications and Upcoming Expectations for the Deadline
The developments surrounding the Tyler Myers trade deadline highlight the challenges teams face when players have significant say in their trades. The next 48 hours could bring clarity on whether the Canucks manage to finalize a deal. Given Myers’ reluctance about the Red Wings and the limited offers, the coming days will be crucial for Vancouver to identify a suitable destination and complete the trade.

“Tyler Myers also has a no-movement clause, and he has a heck of a lot of say in what happens here. The trade that was put in front of him and his agent this week was to the Detroit Red Wings. At this point in time, I think that is not necessarily a place Myers is looking to go, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to be moved before the deadline.”
