Philippe Myers: our analysis

2025-26 season: 39 GP, 0 G, 2 A, 2 PTS, -10 +/-, 14:33 TOI. WAR -0.3 (285th of 325) · PAL 13, very poor.

In 2025-26, Philippe Myers, 29, posts a PAL Rating of 13 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 285th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

His strengths: power play (68, above average) and defense (62, above average). On the other hand, discipline (0, among the weakest in the league) and offense (3, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.9); his biggest cost: penalties (-1.7).

A marked decline: his PAL was 54 in 2024-25, against 13 now; his WAR went from 0.5 to -0.3.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 25 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Philippe Myers's story

Growing up in Dieppe after being born in Moncton, Philippe Myers learned the game in a bilingual household and developed through the local minor ranks, notably skating for the Moncton Flyers at the midget AAA level. His junior path led him to the QMJHL when Rouyn-Noranda took him in the fourth round, 58th overall, of the 2013 entry draft.

Unsigned in the NHL draft, Myers earned a pro contract through performance and an invite: Philadelphia signed him on 21 September 2015. He climbed through the organization and reached the NHL on 17 February 2019, notching his first NHL goal on 6 March 2019.

Myers enjoyed a breakout stretch in 2019–20, establishing himself as a regular on the Flyers’ right side and finishing that suspended season with four goals and 16 points in 50 games. A fractured right patella — sustained while blocking a shot — sidelined him late in the regular year, but he recovered in time for the playoffs, appearing in all 16 games and scoring three goals, including an overtime winner in Game 2 against the New York Islanders. Philadelphia rewarded him with a three-year extension on 8 December 2020 at an average annual value of $2.55 million.

Transactions began to reshape his career thereafter: on 17 July 2021 he was traded to Nashville with Nolan Patrick for Ryan Ellis. After a period on waivers and a loan to the Toronto Marlies in March 2022, Myers was moved to Tampa Bay on 3 July 2022 (alongside Grant Mismash for Ryan McDonagh) and received a one-year extension on 26 August 2022 worth $1.4 million. As a free agent he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs on 2 July 2024, made his Maple Leafs debut on 26 October 2024, and later signed a two-year extension on 3 January 2025.

Internationally, Myers represented Canada at the 2017 World Juniors, recording three assists in four games before an injury ended his tournament, and joined the senior national team late for the 2019 World Championships; he debuted 16 May 2019 against France and finished the event with one assist in seven games as Canada took silver. On ice, Myers is characterized by a defensive foundation: he reads plays, uses his size in coverage and will jump into the play from the blueline when chances arise. Off the ice, he is a self-taught pianist who learns pieces by ear from online videos.

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
