"Myers, 36, has one goal and eight points in 57 games for the struggling Canucks this season. He was held out of action earlier this week for roster management in anticipation of a potential incoming trade. Myers -- in the second season of a three-year pact carrying an AAV of $3 million -- had a full no-movement clause in his contract, shifting to a 12-team no-trade list next season."
"The 6-foot-8 defender will bring physicality and a stay-at-home presence to a Stars' blueline that has needed an upgrade on the right side. He projects to slide into a third-pairing role for Dallas behind more offensive-minded skaters like Miro Heiskenen and Thomas Harley."
"Vancouver comes away from the deal with some significant draft capital that will help the re-tooling team continue to chart its next direction. The Canucks have hovered near the bottom of the league all season and are expected to continue selling in the coming days."
The Dallas Stars acquired 36-year-old defenseman Tyler Myers from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a second-round pick in 2027 and a fourth-round pick in 2029. Vancouver retained half of Myers' contract, reducing his cap hit to $1.5 million for this season and next. Myers, who had one goal and eight points in 57 games for the struggling Canucks, brings physicality and defensive stability to Dallas' third pairing behind offensive defensemen Miro Heiskanen and Thomas Harley. The Stars, currently second in the Western Conference on a 10-game winning streak, addressed a need for right-side defensive depth. Vancouver, near the league's bottom, gains draft capital to support their rebuilding efforts.
