Canucks and Senators talked about Myers-for-Zaitsev swap
The Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks have been discussing a trade involving a pair of blueliners, Elliotte Friedman described Saturday for the duration of the 32 Feelings phase on Hockey Night time in Canada.
Friedman reported a Tyler Myers for Nikita Zaitsev swap was floated about, which would see Zaitsev head west to Vancouver, and Meyers off to the nation’s funds.
“I do think the two teams talked about it,” Friedman stated. “It would give Vancouver a bit of cap aid, Ottawa aid on defence. I really don’t know in which it stands appropriate now, if it can be revived, but it was at some level discussed.”
Meyers is in his fourth season in Vancouver, and his name has arrive up these days in trade rumours. He has 4 assists by 15 video games, and the significant defender carries a $6 million cap hit. His contract expires just after future season.
The Senators, meanwhile, not too long ago assigned Zaitsev to the AHL to participate in with the Belleville Bulls.
