Myers will disappoint. Outside of his first stint at every stop he is a let down. I thought when he went to Winnipeg that D would be dominate and it looked good at first but Myers really sagged after that. I have no doubt he will do the same in Vancouver. So much promise but will not come close to showing it.
I loved Hamonic but he is a shell of his former self as a Flame and a long distance off of what he was with the Isle. He is serviceable and being paid that way but he is not the partner for Hughes.
I am not sold on Schmidt, I like him but I think playing behind that aggressive all out style of Vegas makes D men look a lot better than they are. Their back pressure from forwards is second to none in the league and I would wager the canucks are probably one of the worst teams for forward defense.
Canucks will put up points and they will look good doing it but they will have to out score teams to win as I don't think that D and goaltending are nearly as good as last year.
