ItsMillerTime Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If he gets 4.9 million. Then Tanev might want 3 mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Tanev is going to want at least 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's pretty simple. Karlsson gets what he wants in OTT. If you have a Norris winning defenceman on your team and he says "x player makes him the player he is, and without x player, his performance would drop"... you do what he says lol.

apollo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Makes sense... They have so much cap space. Tanev shouldn't get anything over 3.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's like contracts are signed with buyouts in mind these days. $4.9mil for a zero goal 29yr old constantly injured dude seems like a misallocation of funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Straight off the playground, "dawg" :shrugs: You did open yourself up for that one, and on a family friendly board to boot, so... But Methot and Tanev have some similarities. TOI/60, points/game, fairly low PIMs are comparables but Methot hits more and Tanev blocks more (a lot more). Methot also has less giveaways per game though (albeit with less takaways as well). Hard to say how negotiations will go on that front and what money will be available to Tanev to see if he takes shorter term or longer term.

TOMapleLaughs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 $4.9mil for a UFA in Ottawa's boat doesn't really have any bearing on Tanev RFA negotiations imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks780 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's a lot for a defensive dmen. Thought he might be traded for sure. Hope it doesn't drive the price up for Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are you saying it's all Methot? Is he? Because that's ridiculous. I'm only saying what I remember hearing that Karlsson wanted Methot to stay. http://www.tsn.ca/trade-talk-will-methot-stay-or-go-1.208055 Capital Loss? With Marc Methot's future with the Ottawa Senators to be decided one way or the other prior to the March 2 Trade Deadline, the defenceman's teammates are in no hurry to see him go, says The Ottawa Sun's Don Brennan. While Methot's agent, Mike Luit, and assistant general manager Pierre Dorion are in contact over an extension for the defenceman, the distinct possibility remains that the 29-year-old will be dealt if no deal is reached. That doesn't sit well with captain Erik Karlsson. "He's a big part of our team," said Karlsson. "Guys like him, even though he doesn't put up tons of points every year ... he's important to have. He's a veteran and he plays hard every night. Obviously, he's a major key to my success as well. We've been playing together for a while, and been playing really good with him. Obviously, if he goes for whatever reason, it's going to hurt not only the team. but me, as well." As negotiations continue, chances are they're going to be secretive. Brennan reports that Luit and Senators management have agreed to refrain from public comment until they conclude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sens needed Methot to stay. The blue line is far too weak on the left side to lose someone like him. Maybe a tad high but not like they don't have cap space lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 different circumstances. Please don't use Methot as a bargaining chip Tanev, he's a better player then you, Methot is also a Ottawa boy. Totally different. ohhhh boy.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Tanev's camp takes notice. I feel with this deal and with other comparables like Justin Braun, Alec Martinez, Tanev will be around the 4 mil range for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Damn it.. we need a guy like him and I was hoping we give him a call on July 1st 4.9 million is pretty steep though Tanev is going to want at least 4 Yeah but is he going to get what he wants? We'll see. I hope Benning doesn't see Tanev as being a 4+ million dollar man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 4 years 4.9 mil for Methot is a bit high for sure. But it is not really a comparable for Tanev. He was a pending UFA for one and he brings a physical game to their top pairing too which Ottawa sorely needs. Plus they have tons of cap space to spend unlike the Canucks. As an RFA this should set Tanev up for somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 - 3.5 million imo which is very fair value for what he brings and what he doesn't.
