LeBrun added Myers' camp is waiting to hear back from the Winnipeg Jets as well.
The 29-year-old scored nine goals and recorded 31 points in 80 regular season games with the Winnipeg Jets this past season. Myers did not record a single point in six playoff games.
Myers was originally selected by the Buffalo Sabres 12th overall in the 2008 NHL Draft. The 6-8 defenceman was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in 2015. The trade included Drew Stafford, Brendan Lemieux, Joel Armia, and a first-round pick to the Sabres in exchange for Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian.
In his rookie season, Myers won the Calder Trophy as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
Myers is coming off a seven-year $38.5 million contract that he originally signed with the Sabres.
Myers has 191 assists and 265 points in 635 career NHL games.
