Just because he's a hockey player on a hockey market, he doesn't get to enjoy his life? Tanev does seem to be a private guy but I don't see anything wrong with that. Not everyone is friendly. I agree - and not everyone is willing to concede their private space - not something they "owe" fans by virtue of being a professional athlete. He may be in 'public' but this is his 'private' time - he's not at 'work' - it's not really part of his duties to always oblige public attention. The response might also have something to do with how they are approached. And really, who wants to shake anyone's hand in a washroom? That's not good 'hygiene' lol.

"what I’ve been told is that the Canucks have told teams — including, I believe, Toronto" My guess is if they re-sign Guds they are more open to trading Tanev.

While I agree, there is a reality and responsibility to the situation. Though it's obviously not the same, as a teacher I can't go anywhere without having kids and parents talking to me. Doesn't matter where I go, it's always the same. Granted I have personal relationships with these people, so its different, but if you are a public figure you should be somewhat understanding and personable in those situations, imo.

His mannerisms are also very BROish. Kassian was really nice though. probably the friendliest Canuck I've met. Yannick Weber was also with them, and was definitely one of the most awkward human beings I have ever encountered. Horvat is a very nice guy don't worry, as is Hutton. Kass was probably buzzed that's why he was so friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relevent points, but a teacher's role is decidely social - whereas a hockey player is a hockey player - really, their 'social' role is secondary.

Hockey players give back to the community all the time. It doesn't mean they need to take time away from their private lives because some guy wearing a hat with the logo of his employer on it came by to interrupt him. They shouldn't be rude but they're under no obligation go out of their way to humour you. Some will, some won't, its up to their personality. And back to my earlier point, watching people go out of their way to bug celebrities, I never understood why. They may humour you but they don't care who you are. And what do you get out of it? That you get to brag to your friends you "met" a celebrity? Is talking to some person people recognize for 30 seconds that much of an achievement? I think it's kind of sad. Obviously meet and greets and fan events and stuff are different, but I just don't see the point of going out of your way to interrupt someone's private time because you saw them on tv. It's rude to them and kind of pointless for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Anyone see Washington as a possible fit for Tanev? A young Lucas Johansen and a Madison Bowey be great adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson is going to be paid very well. Maybe he wants to test FA as he knows he is the top D available? Maybe a draft type deal if Caps cant get Carlson signed but think that will be their #1 priority vs trying to get Tanev. Tanev to NYI or TB would be ideal for me. TB has the prospects, NYI have the picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are gun shy after making a big move with shattenkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree they want to sign Carlson so doubt they add to the D in a big trade. Might make a minor move up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should probably be close to the 7 mill a year mark. I don’t know if they have that much coin left to give! Maybe if the Canucks do them a CAP favor and take a package of Wilson and Orpik they could realistically fit him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carries a 3 million price tag. If it means keeping Carlson they would for sure trade him out. Packaged with Orpik and you won’t have to give much back in return at all.
