Dallas Stars Acquire Tyler Myers From Canucks With 50% Salary Retained

The move gives Dallas a right-shot penalty killer with size for a playoff push.

Overview

  • Dallas sent its 2027 second-round pick and 2029 fourth-round pick to Vancouver to complete the trade.
  • Vancouver retained half of Myers’ $3 million salary through next season, leaving the Stars with a $1.5 million cap hit.
  • He said he plans to arrive in Texas on Thursday night and expects to practice Friday, with Dallas hosting Colorado that evening.
  • Team leaders described Myers as a big, rangy, right-shot defender who helps the penalty kill and adds lineup flexibility.
  • Myers, a Houston native, waived his no-movement clause to approve Dallas and is set to become the first Texas-born player to suit up for the Stars.
