I love how the I(I told you so crowd) feels the need to hedge their bets ,without seeing how things might go first

Wafflers reserving the right to flip flop at a later date if it suits their narrative 😂

It’s because we have seen this show unfold multiple times with the people JB has signed..

True but ppl easily leap to conclusions as if it’s never going to work out.

if myers lives up to this contract and isn't steadily declining in years 3 or 4, I will eat my words and change my avatar to a picture of Myers until his contract is done. If he makes me eat crow, thats a good thing.

I know lots of guys who shoot left in hockey, but play golf right handed, throw a ball with their right. It’s just weird.

I handwrite left handed and everything else righthanded.

If only history told us any sort of story

Sports is fluid & not so easy to do. History in hockey has obvious patterns but it’s dependent on a GM with an all encompassing vision that usually succeeds.

all in all, we can all differ on how the contract is structured (length/$/clauses/etc). I don't think anyone on here has said they simply dont want myers because he is myers. I think people that have not wanted him, did not want him based off of the speculated contract, which is fair. I think its fair to say that our team is better today than it was yesterday with Myers, but i think either side will argue until they are blue in the face as to how they would ideally like the team's cap spent/used/utilized.

It’s like the Beagle Signing all over again. Good player? Sure, but is he going to drive the offense, the area that has been sorely lacking? No, no he isn’t. His role will be to prop up a bunch of tweeners I to top six forwards.

Myers? Decent player, but is he a #1 guy? Sadly, on the Canucks he is, but he shouldn’t be. They should be upgrading on Edler and Tanev, not Pouliot and Biega (I mean upgrade them too, but not as a priority).

like I said before, im not hating on Myers, hes fine. I just dont like how benning structures contracts, especially with UFA's. I won't be complaining if Benning makes me eat my words, again, it would be a good thing. My hope is that i am wrong.

If they had started rebuilding when they should have, they would already be at that point, so yes, if it takes another 5 years so be it.
- 1970vintage

But they didn’t & history cannot be a redo.
If the course is to be 5yrs so be it.

lol this is a whole different argument towards Benning but yes, I agree. Myers is a good 2nd pairing D-man on this team's current Defense, there is no doubt.

It’s amazing with all the garbage being dumped off by teams, that the Canucks weren’t able to flog a single contract for even a conditional pick.
- Shuswap Wap

This offseason is much more than the usual offseason with much more to play out. Many teams have moves to make for various reasons so expect much more to come.

That’s what I’m saying. Live with your mistakes, do things properly (yes, I know, there isn’t “one way” to rebuild), and take your time. The result will usually be better.

One of my buds golfs either side. If he sucks he switches up the next round or year he plays. Has both sets of clubs 😂😂

Yes & it all comes down to how the contract is structured. We will see soon enough.

I prefer to see how Hughes takes over & the other D perform. Myers is not a stand alone answer & it’s how all the D play matters.

Agreed but as we get better the pendulum can shift more towards our side. With EP & Hughes we are on the right track. Players gravitate to teams on the rise or contending.
