johngould21 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Jim Benning is equal or greater than Mike Gillis? You do realize that Gillis first signed Tanev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Now he has to start avoiding those big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Reason why he's getting a bit more is probably because there's no NTC/NMC in the contract. It's a fair deal 4.45 mil per year but a little too much? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SKATES1STICK Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 contract works if he could put up 35 points, which he can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lord Baltimore Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 He's a true D, what part don't you folks get? Look who the coaching staff always has on the ice whenever possible. Yeah, he's phenominal defensively but he has abysmal offensive skills and he isn't exaclty a beast physically. $4mil is the highest I would have gone.

Plaguez Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Pretty high AAV for a guy who is great defensively, but lacks in every other aspect. Not thrilled with that number. No NTC I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Basically fair money given where he's at now and the rate of improvement he's shown. If he continues to get better it could be a bargain, if he stays the same it's fine, and if concussions catch up with him, well at least there's LTIR. This spells the end for at least one of Bieksa and Hamhuis next year, from a cap perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 contract works if he could put up 35 points, which he can't Ya know there's something called defensive dmen in the league right? They're not all Bobby Orr like and Tanev is the arguably the safet stay at home dman in the league. Stop being so salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inthecup Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 For those saying its a bit high maybe look at it as paying for this year too. He is getting paid $2m this year, if you add that to his contract and add another year it is a $4/year contract over 6 years. I know it doesn't work like that for cap space but in terms of real money he's earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tambellini's Wrist Shot Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Reason why he's getting a bit more is probably because there's no NTC/NMC in the contract. It's a fair deal 4.45 mil per year but a little too much? Maybe. That's probably a good guess as to why he got the extra 500k. I think the value is fair. He's dealt with bridge contracts and he's proved himself. He may not put up a lot of points and may not be very physical, but he's so solid defensively and makes an excellent first pass out of the zone.

hatedkid666 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 His advance stat numbers show he is elite. This is a great contract! Very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Great deal for Tanev and us. Certainly could have gotten more if he really wanted to. Edler - 5 mil Bieksa -4.6 mil Hamhuis - 4.5 mil Tanev - 4.45 mil Sbisa - 2.9 mil to qualify Lots of money hemmed on the blueline next season With Emergence of Sbisa playing better and better, Clendening and Corrado both require waivers next season, many other guys to get locked up, I can't see JB carrying those five above into nexr year especially with the question marks surrounding the cap. JB loves Edler, Tanev and Sbisa. Just acquired Clendening and loves Corrado. Juice, Hammer are the guys i see JB looking for value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 a little too much but really important to our team.did you forget what league this is? What are you basing "a little too much " on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Great contract, couldnt be more happy to have him on board for another 5 years. I couldnt disagree more with People saying its an overpayment, well worth it for a key part of our top pair, Especially when u look at what less reliable top 4 options have gone for as UFA's in recent years. Tanev has definitely earned this contract in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstLine Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 contract works if he could put up 35 points, which he can't Top Stay at home defensemen don't have to be offensive to be game changers, Edler/Tanev combo can shut down any top line in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think he'll continue to work on his strength and shot. He'll never be a huge point getter but he'll keep improving no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not all Bobby Orr like and Tanev is the arguably the safet stay at home dman in the league. Stop being so salty. but he gets pushed around. you pay for size. if he weighed 240 and was 6'4 with no offense what would he make? 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Chris is 25 so he'll be 30 by the time the contract expires. Excellent signing for Van and this deal may be a domino effect leading into the offseason. With so much cap being spent now, expect JB to ship out a player or 2 to shed some cap.
