Darren Dreger first reported the news prior to the draft that the Canucks and the Sharks had a deal on the table for the defenseman Tyler Myers. Rick Dhaliwal then confirmed that these talks happened and even confirmed that Tyler Myers' name had been floating around in a LOT of trade talks.

Frank Seravalli dropped a bombshell on the subject just moments ago when he added the potential return to that �trade on the table':

Former Canucks assistant coach Mike Yeo officially hired

Patrik Allvin: Martin Necas would be traded before Saturday

This deal would've been an exchange of underperforming contracts. Labanc, 27, is entering the last year of a deal in which he makes an annual $4.725M. The winger collected a shallow 33 points in 72 games this year in a miserable Sharks lineup.

Myers, on the other end, still costs the Canucks a $6M AAV on the books. Canucks could have shed an additional $1.3M for next season, while both contracts are set to expire at the end of next season.

The reports don't yet explain the cause of this deal's abortion; we hope to learn more in the upcoming days.
