The Vancouver Canucks have traded veteran defenseman Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2029 fourth-round pick, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
As part of the transaction, the Canucks are retaining 50 percent of the remainder of Myers' contract. This move significantly lowers his cap hit for Dallas, making him a $1.5-million player for both this season and the next. The salary retention was a key component in facilitating the move to the Stars, who are looking to strengthen their defensive depth for the current campaign and beyond.
Myers, known for his massive 6-foot-8 frame and veteran experience, has been a fixture on the Vancouver blue line for several seasons. By moving the veteran, the Canucks recoup future draft assets while Dallas adds a physical presence to their defensive rotation at a highly manageable price point.
