I find 90% of posters in here are fun to have conversations with. But man.....a few are insufferable lol. I am not sure why some actual humans would find it imperative to try to win every single conversation or post they make in an online forum. I mean...we all come here to get more knowledge on the Canucks don't we?? Very weird behaviour. Edited July 5, 2019 by Kanukfanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) If he was traded years ago, he was worth at least a 1st, although you can't really blame Benning for wanting to keep him around for the next core given his age and the stability his game offers. He struggled a bit last year, but before that the difference between how our defense looked with and without him in the lineup was night and day. If he has a good year and stays healthy (big if, at least on the latter), should be able to get something like a 2nd + 3rd at the deadline... hopefully. To start the season, coming off an injury-plagued weak year, he's worth more to the team than on the trade market.

Unless the club is confident that Raferty or Woo is ready now. I dont see it and I think if Tanev is moved it would be at the TDL. For his cap hit and what he brings, I could see the club keeping him if it looks like we are playoff bound. Is there any indication whether or not Tanev would re sign with us or not? We could lose him for nothing. I would trade him whenever the best opportunity comes along . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of time between now and the TDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I’d love to add a top 6 but if it is Tanev that we move out to clear cap space I’d rather add Gardiner for same contract as Myers. Gardiner will Probly cost about 1.5 million more than Tanev but I think there is room once you send players to Utica. We can also move Rousell to IR for a few months.

This is a great deal for both teams. Finacially however, it skews the Canucks’ ability to manage their cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we take on a 7 million dollar player who was on pace for 40 points last season and retain on Tanev essentially making it cost about 9+ million to acquire him and lose depth on our defense that won't be able to be replaced with quality with the cap spent already and this would be a great deal for us? If they wanted Tanev with 50% retained, they should've given us Zaitsev and Kapanen (while there was no rumour to this, it's something I would've been happy with and think many others too). This deal would've freed up space (which we now know would be about like 5 million in savings. Only deal I'd consider now to save them is Tanev retained for Ceci and a pick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nylander is likely to bounce back this year. He would be a good fit next to Petey. Not sure why anyone would want Ceci. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I love how people are like trade Tanev and then the trades include cap coming back... The whole idea of trading Tanev is because we need the cap relief. Trading Tanev and signing Boeser gets us just under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can exceed the cap ceiling by 10%. Trading tanev has nothing to do with cap implications whatsoever. The only tanev trade that makes sense for us is ome that creates future assets. We can maximize the assets coming in by retaining some salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea of trading Tanev is because we need the cap relief. Trading Tanev and signing Boeser gets us just under the cap. If you get us down to a 23 man roster, we have just enough cap to get Boeser signed for around 7-8 million if needed. We don't need to trade Tanev as a cap dump. Anyone else we "dump" is simply for more wiggle room. Our cap situation is just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why anyone would want Ceci. Let me guess, all you looked at was Ceci's +/-? Nylander bouncing back to a 60 point player still does not make him worth taking on 9+ million in cap space.
