Tyler Myers’ time with the Vancouver Canucks certainly appears to be over.

That much was apparent after the Canucks sat him out for “roster-related reasons” on Wednesday. His days seem to be numbered based on what his head coach and teammates said about him.

The question now is, where will he be traded, and what will the return be?

Well, what we learned on Thursday is that it appears as though the Detroit Red Wings are the most interested suitor.

“There is a deal that the Canucks like on the table from the Detroit Red Wings, NHL insider Chris Johnston said on TSN’s Insider Trading.

That news was also reported by TSN’s Darren Dreger, who added that the Dallas Stars are also interested in trading for Myers. CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal also reported that the Anaheim Ducks are in the mix.

Tyler Myers continues to consider a trade option. It’s believed Detroit is the target. Other teams have expressed interest, including Dallas. Likely why Myers is taking his time in allowing the process to develop.

There is no team in the league with more projected salary cap space than the Red Wings, who currently have $12.97 million of room to work with, according to PuckPedia.

They’re also hungry to end a playoff drought that has spanned nine seasons. Detroit currently holds down the first Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, there’s also a history of deals between Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman and the current Canucks management.

It was almost three years to the day now that the Red Wings traded Filip Hronek to the Canucks.

Given he has a full no-movement clause, Myers holds all the cards, which is why he hasn’t been dealt yet.

And if the Stars are truly involved, you can see why Myers would be hesitant to waive.

While Detroit is trying to bust the NHL’s second-longest playoff drought, the Stars are firmly in Stanley Cup contention. Myers’ mom, Tonja, resides in Houston, Texas, which is about a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dallas.

Other reporters have also suggested that the Colorado Avalanche could be interested as well. Once again, if they’re involved, they would theoretically give Myers his best chance at winning a Stanley Cup.
