Canucks To Sit Tyler Myers Against Winnipeg For Trade Reasons
Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers could be on the move soon.
thehockeynews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent outlets:
- Tyler Myers is a Vancouver Canucks defenseman who has been at the center of several trade rumors leading up to the NHL trade deadline in early March 2026. Some reports indicated Vancouver was evaluating offers and Myers could be moved, with trade talk intensifying in February 2026.[3][4][5]
- Reports in late February and early March 2026 suggested a potential deal involving Myers was imminent, and that Vancouver was holding him out of games for “trade reasons” as teams explored options, with Dallas, Detroit, and Colorado among the teams mentioned as potential destinations.[4][3]
- On March 3, 2026, reports confirmed a trade had been completed: Myers was traded to the Dallas Stars, ending his stint with Vancouver. The deal was discussed as part of broader Canucks’ moves during deadline week.[9]
Key context:
- Myers has a long-term contract in the $3 million cap hit range when he’s moved, and his no-movement clause has been a factor in any deal discussions.[3]
- The trade involving Myers was framed as part of Vancouver’s broader rebuild/trade activity around the deadline, with Dallas as a prominent destination due to geographic and competitive considerations.[4][9]
If you’d like, I can pull more details on the trade terms (numbers, term, specific players/assets involved) or provide a quick timeline of the Canucks’ deadline moves. Also, if you want sources tied to each point, I can attach direct citations after each fact.
