Myers On the Trade Block As Vancouver Eyes A Key Forward

Buzz is growing that the Vancouver Canucks might consider trading the veteran defenseman Tyler Myers in their pursuit of a top-6 forward. Myers is emerging as a valuable trading card, especially since his current contract is due to conclude by the end of this season.

With his $5 million bonus settled for the ongoing season, a mere $1 million remains on his payout. This could be a lucrative offer for certain teams. However, the 10-team No-Movement Clause implies that Canucks need to be methodical and strategic in any potential trade to ensure a perfect match.

Canucks Scouting for Suitable Trade Partners

Getting a top-6 forward willing for a trade mid-season could be challenging. Teams aiming for playoffs typically enhance their leading lines and are generally not in the mood to part with their star players.

Nevertheless, there are a few forwards whose names have been in the trade talks recently, and they might mesh well with Vancouver's lead players. Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers is one; a 29-year-old who took some time to hit his stride but managed 18 goals and 25 assists the previous season. Victor Olofsson is another name being mentioned, a budding star who scored 28 goals and assisted 12 last season.

Victor Olofsson assisted on the @BuffaloSabres' second goal of the game. He's coming off two straight 40-point seasons and can become the first Sabres player to reach the mark in three straight campaigns since Sam Reinhart (2015-16 - 2020-21). #KraftHockeyville #NHLStats
