Popular Post J-P Posted July 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2019 Not sure why we would sell low on Tanev. If he has a good season and stays healthy we could move him at TDL, but as of now he's more valuable as a player. Same with Sutter, really, and I don't think Gaudette is ready to be a 3rd line center either. Would be nice to get the $6 mil for LE off the books of course. Still think it's a decent chance he retires if no trade partner is found. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I just don't see how losing Tanev at this juncture makes the team better unless we pair a forward and a pick with him to get a better D coming back. Or say a forward and then a Gardiner signing. Even then, I still don't think this makes our defense better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still gotta get rid of Sutter and/or Eriksson (also retaining 50% of their salaries??).... I guess that Luongo cap hit penalty changes things a bit from when I first proposed this idea.

Waiting for the deadline to deal Tanev hasn’t worked for the last 3 years. Why would this year be any different? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's trade interest around the league. We can get him for a couple draft picks. As for Sutter, we should package him with Goldobin to get a big tough guy to replace Schaller! We really don't need Hutton back if he's asking $3M+. That will free up $8M of cap space to go after another top 6 winger via trade! There are no more top 6 forwards left in the FA market unless you don't mind an aging Justin Williams! Eriksson.... just dump him to Utica if Edmonton isn't willing to sweeten the Lucic swap! Your best ability is your availability, and Tanev is absent more than I was in grade 11 Earth Science class.

Boudrias Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 1 hour ago, DownUndaCanuck said: This defence is finally set and the deepest its looked since 2011. Trading Tanev now for a top-6 forward would be a massive mistake. If JB wants a forward just go out and sign one last UFA. If he's trading Tanev it better only be for a young guy who's going to be with the club in the future and add to our young core but I'd really rather hope he just sits tight because our defence finally looks decent. Not willing to stick with Tanev on the basis of making playoffs. He is gone so much through injury that relying on his health means very little. Move him and spend the CAP on other players who might play a role in a actual CUP contender in 3 years. A vet heavy d-core does not provide the TOI needed to get the younger prospects some decent ice time. Move Tanev while he is healthy enough to garner some interest. Edler - Stecher Hughes - Myers Fantenberg - Benn Joulevi - Biega I would even move Tanev for picks since Benn was signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move Tanev for the reasons you've stated but I think we should (for the reasons you state, getting our young guys ready for 3 years down the road) play them now, but insulate each one with a steady vet. If we don't make the playoffs this year, who cares, we'll be close, our next D corps gets valuable experience and we keep our first rounder. The following year we have a young group (plus Tryamkin and maybe a Barrie) with the experience they need to push in. Edler Stecher (not in need of a vet, but it helps him) Hughes Myers (self explanatory) Juolevi Benn (let OJ play if he shows in camp he's ready to compete, insulate him with Benn, and spell him with Fantenberg when / if he needs a break) Fantenberg/Biega Edited July 3, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he looks better this year with Myers and Benn eating up some of his minutes helping him stay off the IR. If he stays healthy, then peddle him immediately before his value erodes further. Unfortunately, I think he hangs around like Edler and this team will never get any value for him other than years of service.

Rough Neck Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I don't think we trade him. At this rate we are making a push for the playoffs. Unless we accept that we are okay with not making them this year. Tanev is more valuable to our team because of our recent signings to shore up the defense. It would now make no sense to trade him as a rental to a team who will look to be successful in the playoffs, while we ourselves are attempting to make the playoffs and be successful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Buffalo.. (big pkg, eh?) Tanev (retain 2 mill), LouiE, Demko(yeah, this hurts) Total: 9.500.000 outgoing BUFF: Bogosian 5.1 mill cap-hit, but last yr of deal Conor Sheary: 3 mill(again, expiring) Ullmark(RFA) should be a cheap Swede to back up Jacob Total:about 9.300.000, after signing Ullmark near 1 mill I think we have to lose a key young asset to dump Eriksson. We keep acquiring new 'tenders, so I wonder if JB is contemplating such a bold move? I like that ALL these contracts would be done next summer. We can move on from the Loui-memes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I say we keep Tanev and have him as a third pairing. Tanev gets easier minutes and possibly heal his body by not logging hard minutes. He would be much more effective and less injury prone. Get his game back to a level where teams will take notice and possibly flip him on TDL. If Joulevi shows hes ready he can be Tanevs replacement if we flip him on TDL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just cant trade Demko. He's looking better and better. But I get it. You want Lou gone so bad your even thinking of losing Demko over it. I would maybe, maybe, do that trade of Risto is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Tanev plays chances are about 50/50 he is healthy at the deadline. If we can get something of value right now we should do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
