Gaudette Celly Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Maybe with better support from the forwards (in particular the UFAs), he'll have some relief this year. That being said, can never account for things like random pucks (see: Baertschi as well). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeneedLumme Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Kind of interesting. THN piece calls Tanev a "second-pair defender forced into first-pair duty", but still ranks him higher than Chara, Vatanen, Nurse, Weber, Green, Leddy and Shattenkirk. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/a-ranking-of-the-31-nhl-teams-no-1-defenseman-in-2018-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his injury times last year and Edler's resurgence, a lot of people have moved to calling Edler our #1 guy again. I'm on the fence about it. As much as I love Tanev and think he could thrive as a #2 guy, in most situations, he's probably more of a #3 guy. That said, I could see a situation similar to Methot-Karlsson working out for Tanev on a top pairing somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Baertschi may have had all the points but it was Tanev fully into the top 100 as the highest mover up the all-time scoring list 98.

Wilbur Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) With the apple in overtime, Tanev moves up another spot in Canuck all-time scoring, leaving Dana Murzyn in the dust. 97. Paulin Bordeleau RW 183 33 56 89 98. Chris Tanev D 396 18 71 89 99. Dana Murzyn D 452 23 65 88 Edited October 17, 2018 by Wilbur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Starting Lineup 29 October on Sportsnet 650 around the 2 hour mark - they are on iTunes. Dhaliwal says his sources tell him that the Canucks have no interest in trading Tanev. They want to keep him around to play with Hughes - at least for the start of his career.

canuckistani Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Tanev should not be traded, period. He is like the best case scenario defenceman to bring in both Juolevi and Hughes into the NHL. IDC he may only play 50-60 games a season due to injuries. His 'mistake-free and always safety first' playing style is pretty much the PERFECT FOIL for other LHDs to make the team and gel - especially ones who are offensively talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the plans for this summer. I'd be perfectly happy moving Tanev for futures and signing either Karlsson or Myers. Dream scenario, we move Edler as well and then re-sign him July 1. Edler, Karlsson/Myers Hughes, Stecher/Guddy Juolevi/Huttton, Guddy/Stecher ...plus a nice return on Tanev. Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way i'd keep Tanev around and Karlsson/Myers would put one of Guddy or Stecher on the block. Tanev is a mid-low end 1D or a top-end 2D. Having Karlsson maximizes not only Tanev, it gives us the perfect partner to bring in two new LHDs from the system, both of whom thrive/should thrive with a steady, no-nonsense, defensively-near-perfect defenseman like Tanev. Both Ollie and Hughes have an easier time making the NHL with Tanev as their partner, than anyone else you've named. Guddy is not a good partner for a new defenseman, pretty much because Guddy is not an error-free kinda guy like Tanev is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guddy is not a good partner for a new defenseman, pretty much because Guddy is not an error-free kinda guy like Tanev is. Certainly a possibility to move either Stech/Guddy instead but I personally doubt we move Guddy given his intangibles don't exist elsewhere in the lineup (and he's finally showing this year the guy we actually traded for). And personally I'd hang on to Stech vs a guy who I've heard rumors has zero intention of re-signing here when his deal's up next year. I'd also only rate Tanev a 2B/3A D. He's EXCELLENT defensively and at transitioning the puck but is too 1 dimensional to be a true #1-2D IMO. Be an excellent add for a 2nd pair on a contender though. I think we'd be just fine having Karlsson/Myers, Guddy and Stech for RD partners for Hughes/Juolevi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
