The Vancouver Canucks could be making a trade sooner rather than later. According to Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK TV, defenceman Tyler Myers will be held out of the lineup on Wednesday for "trade reasons". The Canucks take on the Winnipeg Jets at Rogers Arena in what will be their first game back after the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Dhaliwal's report comes less than an hour after NHL Network's Kevin Weekes posted that Myers may be on the move. Weekes' post said, "I'm told Canucks are fielding plenty of calls on D Myers and he could be on the move shortly." Myers name had come up in trade rumours earlier this season but has not been mentioned recently as a player who would be moved.

The 36-year-old can choose his destination as he has a full no movement clause this year. In 57 games this season, Myers has eight points and is averaging 20:13 per game.
