Myers still took warmups with the team despite not playing.
The 36-year-old has been with the Canucks since the 2019-20 season after signing a five-year free-agent contract with the team. He re-upped with the Canucks in 2024, signing a three-year, $9 million extension, of which he is in the second year.
The contract carries a no-movement clause through all three years, which Myers must agree to waive in order to be traded.
Myers has appeared in 57 games for the Canucks this season, registering one goal and eight points while averaging 20:30 in ice time.
The Canadian was selected 12th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in 2012 and spent parts of six seasons with the team before he was traded to the Winnipeg Jets ahead of the 2015 trade deadline.
In 1,123 career games, Myers has 100 goals and 403 points.
The Canucks, currently in last place in the NHL, are expected to be major sellers ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.
