The Vancouver Canucks have officially presented veteran defenseman Tyler Myers with a potential trade option, according to a report from Darren Dreger of TSN. Myers, who possesses trade protection as part of his current contract, is reportedly taking his time to evaluate the move before providing the organization with a definitive answer.
According to Dreger, the trade proposal was first presented to Myers two days ago. The veteran blue-liner and his agent, J.P. Barry, are currently in the process of deliberating the specifics of the potential deal. Because of the protection clause in his contract, Myers has the right to weigh the destination and determine if he will waive his rights to facilitate the transaction.
The Canucks are currently awaiting a decision from the Myers camp as they look to navigate roster management and salary cap considerations. Myers has been a significant part of the Vancouver defensive corps, but his future with the team now depends on his willingness to accept the presented trade scenario. No specific team or return has been confirmed at this stage of the process.
