The Vancouver Canucks are expected to offload some of their pending unrestricted free agents at the NHL trade deadline.

There’s also been some chatter that they could deal some veterans with term.

One of the veterans who hasn’t really been discussed in trade rumours, however, is Tyler Myers.

That all changed on Wednesday.

NHL insider Kevin Weekes reported that the Canucks are getting calls on the 35-year-old defenceman, and that he could be traded soon.

CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal then reported that the Canucks are sitting Myers against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday for trade-related reasons.

I am told Tyler Myers sitting tonight against Winnipeg for trade reasons.

The veteran Canucks defenceman currently has a full no-movement clause. He’s in the second season of a three-year deal that pays him $3 million annually.

TSN’s Darren Dreger also reported that the Canucks received a trade offer for Myers, which they have presented to the 6-foot-8 defender.

Rick is correct. The Canucks have a trade option they’ve asked Myers to consider. He has protection and is taking his time to consider. I’m told it was presented two days ago. The veteran and his agent, J.P Barry continue to deliberate. https://t.co/RnUemEcDfX

There was a belief that if Vancouver was to trade him, it would happen next season when his no-move clause diminishes to a 12-team no-trade list.

Myers has a young family and resides in Kelowna in the offseason.

His agent, J.P. Barry, also commented on Myers’ contract and the inclusion of the no-movement clause when he re-signed with the Canucks in 2024.

“The intention was to play in Vancouver,” Barry said on Donnie and Dhali. “He’s a veteran guy who wanted to finish his career in Vancouver. So that’s even a more delicate discussion.”

Of course, when Myers re-signed with the Canucks, they were barely a month removed from coming within a game of the Western Conference Final.

If the veteran of over 1,100 NHL games truly wants to win that elusive Stanley Cup, he’ll clearly have to do it outside of Vancouver.

Myers is currently the fourth-longest tenured member of the Canucks. Only Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, and Thatcher Demko have been with the team longer.

The veteran has quietly climbed the ranks in terms of the longest-tenured defencemen in team history. His 488 career games rank 11th all-time among Canucks blueliners.

So far this season, Myers has one goal and eight points in 57 NHL games.
