The Vancouver Canucks have traded veteran defenceman Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars in exchange for two future draft picks.
Vancouver will receive a second-round pick in 2027 and a fourth-round pick in 2029 as part of the deal.
The Canucks will also retain 50% of Myers’ $3 million cap hit through next season.
“We would like to thank Tyler for all that he has done for the Canucks organization both on and off the ice,” said Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin.
“Not only was he a leader in our locker room, but he also did a lot of great work in the community. We also appreciate Tyler and his agent working with us to get this deal done. Acquiring two more draft picks in this trade with the Stars will help us continue to rebuild and improve our roster in the years to come.”
Details: Tyler Myers to Dallas for a 2nd Rd pick in ’27 and a 4th RD pick in ’29.

Myers had been absent from the Canucks lineup since last Wednesday after the team scratched him for “roster management reasons”.
The move came after Vancouver reportedly asked the veteran defenceman to consider a trade to the Detroit Red Wings.
The 36-year-old Houston native holds a full no-move clause, meaning he had significant control over any potential deal.
Myers has played 57 games this season, recording one goal and seven assists.
He is currently in his seventh season with Vancouver after signing with the club as a free agent in 2019. Myers is in the second year of a three-year contract that runs through next season.
In 488 career games across seven seasons with the Canucks, Myers recorded 138 points (26-112-138) and 423 penalty minutes. He also appeared in 22 playoff games in Vancouver, registering one assist and 30 penalty minutes.
The trade comes as the Canucks are widely expected to move additional players ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
Vancouver currently has one salary retention spot remaining after retaining salary on Ilya Mikheyev in a 2024 trade to the Chicago Blackhawks.
