They're said to be looking to swap Ehlers for one of the Canes RHD. Tanev & 10 for Ehlers & ??? Ehlers + Scheifele?

He seems to have a source for info, or maybe I'm wrong here? You are correct. I am not one to post stuff willy nilly unless I feel I can trust the source. Sekeres does not break much Canucks news, but when he does it is almost always correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundernuts Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If they trade Tanev, and lose Edler, whose going to play defense? Zaitsev is a downgrade on both of these players, and I don't see how we can pick up a better dman in a trade for Tanev unless we add something substantial, or take back a bad contract. Trading Tanev for picks won't help improve the D. I think the best option that they have is taking back a bad contract from a team against the cap, but that could backfire as well. Hopefully, Trader Jim can pull off some magic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Another thing that makes me skeptical about this rumour, Whats changed now since the trade deadline that Tanev is willing to waive his NTC when he wasn’t then? Saying Tanev is available is literally the most vague thing anyone can say. It’s not really groundbreaking nor does it mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If I'm Calgary Hitmans front office, I will be sweating bullets right now. Looks more and more likely Woo is gonna be a full time Canuck next season with all of our vet d men moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 20 minutes ago, cdubuya said: Tanev's trade value hasn't been this low since he was an undrafted free agent.... We should have traded him 2 years ago when it was sky high, or just keep him and hope his value increases to what it once was and he can be a serviceable shutdown guy for us. This is where trading Tanev for Zaitsev (plus other parts as necessary) can make sense. Don't worry about trying to see if you can get Tanev's value to increase, see if you can get a younger and less injury prone Zaitsev's value to increase.

Good!!! Love Tanman, but he's better off as a number 3 who doesn't have to do it all, will stay healthier on a better puck posession team, he's not part of the long term here and can really help a contender. Given what Braun went for we hopefully should get a mid to late first for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, there are plenty of teams he can be traded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JayDangles Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 I feel for Tanev. I remember when he first came into the league. He took such a beating in the corners and he would always bounce back up. He took next to zero penalties while being one of the best defensive defenseman. I remember thinking this guy is a warrior. Fast forward 8 years and everyone is on him because he cant stay healthy. His body is broke down because of what he did for the team years ago. I agree its time to move on, but based on his diminished value, I wouldn't be surprised to see him suit up for the nucks and if healthy, moved at the deadline next spring. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Trader Jim can pull off some magic here. If they are shopping Tanev, JB is likely confident Edler gets done. The issue with Eddie was likely the NTC, given its been said he's opened that issue up (willingness to waive for Seattle), then its just money and Aquaman has always shown a willingness to spend if his GM asks for it. Tanev moving for a mid to late first rounder is needed, and given Braun went for a 2nd and 3rd, he should get that. Sign Meyers, have Tryamkin coming back next year who can play the right side, Hughes can also play right. Plus never know how Woo shows in camp. We're good.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been reports that Edler has become more reasonable and might yet be signed, so that might be why they are now shopping Tanev. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rekker Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 12 minutes ago, Alflives said: Listening to TO radio the other day, and the hosts (don't remember their names) were very high on Tanev. I think Tanev's solid Defensive game, and how he plays the right way, is more appreciated outside of Vancouver. That's good to hear. Tanev to TO just works. He's a big upgrade on Zaitsev at basically the same cap cost. Being an Ontario guy his chances of re-signing are good. If I'm JB I offer Tanev and Goldy for Zaitsez and Marlaeu and Kapanen. Makes sense for both teams on so many levels. Rumours like this dont get released by accident. I think this is an example of JB learning on the job and he is finally using the media to his advantage. This will put some pressure on Dubas knowing Tanev is being shopped. IE Tanev to Buffalo for Rits, Tanev to the Jets if they dont re-sign Myers. Tanev to Vegas for Miller and a cap dump. There are scenarios out there that may prod Dubas to get something done now rather than being left at the alter with few options. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never a rumour that Tanev was not willing to "waive" and he doesn't have a full NTC he can only list 8 teams he doesn't want to be traded to.
