Why exactly do the isles want 3m Tyler Myers

You have no cap space for a full roster here, primarily due to the retention on Tyler Myers, who is unlikely to be wanted by any real contender. However, any non-contender with plenty of cap room, such as Anaheim, Arizona or Chicago, would probably be happy to take Myers off Vancouver's hands without retention once his bonus is paid on July 1, when the remainder of his compensation is only $1 million in salary. The Canucks would probably have to give up one of their 2024 fourths to do so, but that would be infinitely preferable to holding on to him, even for only one season, given the drain on their cap situation his contract inflicts.

Your value is a little off in the pick swap with Minnesota, but more to the point, the Wild are a legitimate contender now and for the next couple of seasons at the least, so they are the team that will be wanting quality over quantity (i.e., fewer but higher picks), whereas as a rebuilding team, the Canucks are the team who would prefer to have as many picks as possible. (That's why it's the rebuilding teams who most often trade roster players for draft picks.)

I'd rather they but out OEL then pay this much in retention. And I'd rather they keep him than buy him out.

That's a no from Boston
