Ossi Vaananen Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 From Friedman, with an interview with Benning: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/rumour-roundup-asking-price-high-canucks-chris-tanev/ Quote IF YOU WANT CHRIS TANEV, THE PRICE IS HIGH With Canucks president Trevor Linden reluctantly admitting in April that his team is indeed in a rebuild there has been much speculation as to what this means for some of the veteran players on the roster. According to CapFriendly, Tanev doesn't have any trade restrictions in his contract yet, but a modified no-trade will kick in for 2017-18. At that point, Tanev can list eight teams to which he will not accept a trade. So if the Canucks wish to move the 27-year-old defenceman, this might be the off-season to do it in. But according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Canucks aren't exactly eager to trade Tanev. Teams have been calling Vancouver about a potential move, but the price to acquire him remains high. "There's been a lot of talk about Chris Tanev and the Vancouver Canucks," Friedman said. "The one thing I’ve heard is other GMs who say they’ve reached out to Vancouver have been told this is no guarantee and if Chris Tanev is going anywhere the price is going to be very high for him. He’s got three more years under contract. He’s a good player at a good price. I don’t think Vancouver is looking to do this unless it's a great deal." Tanev is making $4.45 million against the cap through the 2019-20 season and averaged 20:20 of ice time per game for the Canucks this season. He was the biggest penalty killer among all Canucks blue liners. Vancouver GM Jim Benning talked about the potential for a Tanev move last week. “I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t listen and see if [a trade] is worth it, but it’s hard to find good defencemen,” Benning said. “Especially defencemen who are mobile and move the puck. I’m not shopping Tanev or bringing his name up in conversations with other GMs. They bring up his name.” Benning seems reluctant to move Tanev, and who can blame him - we'd be even worse without the guy. It seems that teams are bringing Tanev's name up but Benning wants something exceptional. I mean he's still young and on a great contract, I dare say Benning has the edge in these negotiations.

Warhippy Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Post expansion, pre draft in a rumoured "shallow draft" is the moment to trade Tanev. Benning would be foolish to admit he's being shopped; but those few days between the expansion draft and the draft is going to see the value of a guy like Tanev go sky high. Also, Kings in on E. Kane? Oh please do gut your team even more. Give up picks AND prospects to do it please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hopefully some team offers JB an offer he can't refuse. Good to see he's listening. I bet Dallas and Edmonton have offers. This is fantastic, if JB can weasel out more value out of Tanev this way then we'll have a real rebuild on our hands. The return he got for Burrows and Hansen was fantastic, lets see if he keeps that trend going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 18th overall pick too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 JB needs to hit the home run with this Tanev deal. a blue chipper (Drouin) or a top 3 pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 To nit-pick, the thread title is actually (for once) the opposite of inflammatory...according to Benning himself the Canucks are not rumoured but ACTUALLY being approached about Tanev. As much as I'd hate to see him go...swing for the fences JB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If they believe Heiskanen or Liljegren can be top 2 D-men and can get a pick in that range, then you go for it. I don't see Tanev being in his prime when this team is a contender again. Might as well get a big piece for him now if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a guy like Duchene - 25 or older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to start building up the D-core too. Drafting a top center and D-man in this draft would be huge for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 IMO the baseline for any Tanev should involve a young player or prospect rdy to play right now + a high draft pick/or prospect that may need more development time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 year timeline to playoff threat not bubble team is actually in the realms of feasibility. Meaning a 32 year old oft injured throughout his career Tanev. Agreed that the time is right to trade him and that he needs to garner a solid return. If he CAN get a decent first and or a blue chip prospect (picks) for Tanev though here is a fun thought Benning will have gotten quality return for Burrows undrafted Hansen 9th round pick (2nd last in the last round no less) Tanev undrafted If that isn't the epitome of getting quality for players that were never supposed to make it I don't know what is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunjabiCanucks Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Ship him off to Toronto, so we get Kapenen and their 1st.... Only reason why Dallas won't make a move with us is because we don't want to give up our for 5th for the 3rd. What we can do is move Toronto's pick as it is appealing to them. Now if Edler waives for Dallas, sweet. If not move Sbisa and the 17th pick or w.e it is for the 3OA and a contract dump. As much as it hurts to say we need a 1C and a top 2 defencemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
