The big veteran is on the move.
On Wednesday, the Dallas Stars acquired defenseman Tyler Myers from the Vancouver Canucks. In return, the Canucks are receiving a second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a fourth-rounder in the 2029 draft.
Details: Tyler Myers to Dallas for a 2nd Rd pick in ’27 and a 4th RD pick in ’29.
Plus Vancouver is retaining 50 percent on remainder of Myers contract which makes him a $1.5-million player this year and next.

Sounds like pending trade call, Tyler Myers will land in Dallas.
The kicker in the deal is that the Canucks are retaining half of Myers’ remaining salary. He’s in the second season of a three-year contract that he signed in June 2024, with a full no-move clause, meaning he had to waive his contract benefit in order to make the trade happen. Therefore, the Stars are only paying Myers $1.5 million for this year and next.
Both draft picks belonged to the Stars. As of now, the team has just five picks in the 2027 draft.
Myers’ name had been passed around in trade circles for the last little bit, with the Canucks having held out the 36-year-old since the Olympic break for trade-related purposes.
