Much of his defensive value is either on the PK or in denying entries due his reach.
Probably worth like... a 4th, maybe gets to a 3rd due to multiple teams being interested. Nothing crazy.

If I were a contending team I'd try to acquire Myers to shore up my 3rd pairing. Probably offering a late 2nd, or a 2 3rds. He's can be pretty great in a locked down system, as evidenced when Toch was their coach. Plus he's big. Like really big. But I don't think he wants to leave Vancouver. The tricky part is his contract shifts to a 12 team no trade list after July 1. So this might be his only chance to choose his destination if the Canucks are moving on from him.
IMO, the Canucks management are being stupid. Myers isn't worth in trade what he is in the room / on the ice. Yeah, he's a RHD. But so is Hronik, and that dude might actually be worth something to an interested team. I'd be hunting teams that need a 1st/2nd pair RHD to unload Hronik onto.
