Myers is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $6,000,000 this season, including $5,000,000 in bonuses. While most contracts indicate the bonus will be paid on July 1st, Myers deal has a unique structure. Instead, Myers bonus is set to be paid out September 15th, which means that after that date, Myers could become a much more attractive trade target.

In accordance with the report of the Canucks wanting to improve their defence, it seems to be a certainty that Myers will be moved after his bonuses are paid out by the team. With 5 million in real cash off the books, Myers will be seen as a much more practical trade target for teams around the league.
