According to NHL insider Kevin Weekes, the Vancouver Canucks are 'fielding plenty of calls' on veteran defenseman Tyler Myers, and a trade could be coming shortly. The Canucks are in a rebuilding mode and are prioritizing moving pending unrestricted free agents, but they're also open to offers on players with term, including the 36-year-old Myers.

Why it matters

As the Canucks look to rebuild, moving veteran players like Myers could help them acquire assets and clear salary cap space. Myers, with his size, experience, and reasonable contract, could be an attractive target for contending teams looking to bolster their blue line ahead of the trade deadline.

The details

The Canucks are reportedly open to trading Myers, who has a full no-movement clause this season, meaning any trade would require his approval. The team is focused on moving pending unrestricted free agents, but they're also willing to entertain offers on players with term, including Myers. His $3 million AAV and high-minute role make him an appealing target for contenders.
