86Viking Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Follow Bob McKenzie ✔@TSNBobMcKenzie I'm not "reporting" it or guaranteeing it will happen, but if Jonathan Drouin were dealt, I wouldn't be shocked:https://twitter.com/adolce95/status/857989657384103937 … 9:13 AM - 28 Apr 2017 130130 Retweets 267267 likes Interesting if true. He does need a new contract. Tampa has others to sign as well. Always thought after what happened that water under the bridge seemed to good to be true. Would love the Canucks to make an offer for him, be an elite set up guy for Boeser or Virtanen. Tampa would likely have interest in Tanev, but we would need to add to him to get the deal done. Sure there will be lots of interest in him if he is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't have the depth yet to get a player like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It just means the Lightning don't consider him untouchable and will move him for the right price. I don't think Canucks would be the perfect trading partners. I could see him staying in the east if he was to be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 How close is Tanev for Drouin? Tampa needs a top 4 RD and he'd make an amazing pair with Hedman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I totally think other teams have more protection problems than we do on protecting top tier forwards. Not to dis our forwards but our forwards are very young and yet to prove themselves-- say like a forward like Drouin. We may be able to get a good forward yet for say Tanev maybe.

NHL'er Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Tanev and rights to Tryamkin? They have 3 Russians which might entice Tryamkin to join them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Screw it, go for it. Horvat, Boeser, Demko, our 1st this year and our 1st next year off the table. Everything else is fair game. Git 'R done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Jays_Canucks Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I would offer megna straight up. For those of you calling me crazy, Willie D thought he was a first line player last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Super speculative, even from McKenzie. I don't think we have the pieces, and shouldn't consider trading a D. If it happens, it'll be before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin-2017pick-Boeser Dahlen-Horvat-Granlund Goldy-Gaudette-Virtanen That has the potential to be a great top 9 for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
