If they do find the space, I'd rather a bigger player with offensive upside; like Josi or Faulk. Josi will want +++ $ and term, but Faulk would be considerably less. I like Faulk because he brings a degree of toughness, but can still provide some offence alongside Hughes. Consider this... Josi Quinn or Quinn Faulk Edler Meyers Joulevi Benn/Woo Benn Stecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Per Elliotte Friedman's 31 Thoughts: Quote 16. When Chris Tanev hits the ice in Vancouver, word is it will be with custom-made shin pads and gloves, created by the team’s trainers. He’s missed too much time because he plays hard and refuses to bail out on the ice. In 2019–20, it will be with greater protection. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-tense-rfa-waiting-game-hits-final-stages/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the lack of protection was Chris's problem? But aren't hockey players basically light armoured knights with a jersey to cover it?

Quote Hughes is a quiet guy, but when asked about being partnered with Tanev, he couldn’t stop gushing. The two defencemen have been partnered together for a couple preseason games and it seems very likely they’ll start the season together. Hughes approves. “[Tanev] makes it really easy for me, he's a really good player,” said Hughes. “I didn't realize how good of a skater he was. No, seriously...I don't think I've really ever played with a guy that's that good of a skater. He can beat guys with his feet and he's smart and he's skilled. “This was only our second game together and I'm sure by game 35 we'll be really, really, really good and hard to deal with.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It's probably not Tanev but I had some interesting thoughts on the captaincy tweet. It's probably Bo... But. Hmmm.. probably Bo. Tanev could be a good stop gap tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 They purposely highlighted the A's in all of their names. - Tanev is first on the list of leaders. - Tanev is the only player with a C in their name. (Could be a coincidence) - Tanev could be the perfect age at 29. (Last few captains have been named around this age) - Tanev was mentored by the sedins since his rookie year in 2011. - Tanev bridges the old generation and it's memory to the kids and our next generation. Reason why not Tanev. Injured a lot. Maybe an extension follows if true? It's likely Bo tho. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's experienced and knows the game really well and even talks and directs other younger defensemen, but he's not exactly oozing charisma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and he is probably gone at the TDL if the Canucks are not in the playoffs. If they make it, he is gone next summer most likely. Zero chance he is captain lmao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think Tanev is the best defencemen to be paired up with Hughes this season. I know a lot of people don't like the paring because of Tanev lacking that offensive skill.. Hughes obviously is a beast offensively, although his game defensively needs a lot of work. Tanev is the our best defensive dman, perfect mentor for a guy like Hughes in his rookie year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 If Tanev, Edler and Myers play a full 82 games this season we're a lock for the playoffs. It's doubtful given our history but Tanev especially is such a rock for this team and he's already developing chemistry with Hughes. Beautiful tap in by him, they did have some defensive gaffs at times and will get eaten alive by big strong forwards which is why hopefully Green will have Edler and Myers out defending the bigger lines, but they played a very solid two-way game against the Kings. Tanev's game is still going to have to evolve playing with Hughes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
