Chris Tanev slides into 83rd in all-time Canuck scoring with his assist tonight.

 

82.  Sven Baertschi LW 225 58 52 110
83.  Chris Tanev D 479 21 86 107
84.  Mikael Samuelsson RW 155 49 57 106

so what you are saying

is that if he plays another 4000 games

he could lead the nuck franchise in points ?

that is why you keep posting his incredible stats sheet ?

Nah, I think he just really likes the finer detail stats and seeing players move up the all-time list. I'm a big fan of it as well.

I’ve always been a fan of tanev. 

However with younger guys developing and the cap crunch coming its time to look to move him. 

 

We will need what Tanev brings to this team during play off games. Hes having a great year so far and is playing strong. hes a much better pairing with Quinn than any other defender we have ATM. I bet he signs a team friendly contract both money and term.

Edler is gone the year after this one. It is better to let the 35 year old at that time retire and keep Tanev 

 

Benn is also gone and maybe Stech too. 
 

Having young guys fill out a blue that only consists of Myers and Hughes in 2 years is a bad idea IMO. We’d have a have another stop gap veteran in the top 4

Then start deciding which of the young forwards we will trade away so we can keep the old d group. 

edler shouldn’t have been resigned but he was. 

LE is unmovable Sutter too.

at some point you have to let go of the past and go with younger  players. 

Rafferty is 24 and has  looked great Hughes is a superstar

myers is here for a while 

guys like benn and fantonberg will always be available.

 

tanev isn’t signed after this season it makes sense to move him especially since he’s staying heathy.

He isn’t the player he was nor is edler yet so many seemed to have an emotional attachment to. 

Sauntner 25 briesbos 22 Rafferty24  chatfield 23 tryamkin 25 teves 24

oj 21 

Our main/top d prospects are at the age to make the nhl. At some point these guys need a legit opportunity just like the one tanev was given at the age of 21 when he came into the nhl. 

 

Age gap is another of the many mean nothing Jim benning catch phrases nothing more. When edlers contract expires these guys will all be so called “age gap” age. If they aren’t already. 

 

For the third year the average age of d men is under 27.

Easy none. You honestly think Pearson, Sutter, Benn and even Baer would be unmovable with 1 year left? I really think they would be. Pearson alone is a top 9 forwards most places. Benn is a 2 million top 6 D, Only thing that would deter people from Sutter is the injuries but it is too early to tell rn. He could end the year healthy and playing good or on IR. Either way you could trade him to any rebuilding team like Baer if it came down to it. Happens all the time. 
 

You can easily state names but you don’t know how any of these guys would handle the type of responsibility Tanev does on a day to day basis. You’re putting a lot of faith in these young guys without any sort of contingency plan if they don’t work out. My idea? Sign Tanev as that back up plan. Gives the young guys one more year of experience. When Edler is gone someone can fill his role, hopefully Tryamkin because he will probably need less of an adjustment to the NHL. 
 

It’s not about emotional attachment. It’s about trying to be as successful as we can be in order to take that next step while inserting in youth at a reasonable level, making the playoffs, get these young players playoff experience and to not give TBL a lotto pick. 
 

These young players aren’t gonna step in and be able to handle that sort of responsibility right away. That’s a huge ask. Way too much faith. If we were rebuilding I’d have no issues but we aren’t really anymore.

I can't believe people still say Edler isn't needed or shouldn't have been signed.

 

Hughes is better offensive Dman but overall defensive, physical, big body Dman Edler is very important..

 

Just look at the record last 2 years when Edler is not in the lineup. The team nosedves.

 

Anyone who says Edler shouldn't be on this team doesn't know hockey.

 

Especially at a team friendly 2 year 6 mill per year contract. He could have gotten 4 year term at 6 mill per year if he explored UFA market.

My default d-vet is Edler and Myers. If Edler is needed beyond his current contract then sign him to 1 year extensions. IMHO he is still the best d-man on the club. There should be a deal out there for Tanev and Stecher. Canucks are in a new phase of development. When Benning first came there was very little to work with. Now he has youth coming up and they have to have the TOI available to learn the NHL game.

I think Stecher should be explored as a trade option, but I think we should hang onto Tanev for a playoff push/run. We might lose him for nothing in the end, but that's no different than acquiring a rental, but in this case, we don't have to give an asset up to do so. Tanev gives us the best team moving forward plus allowing us to ease in any newcomer (ahem hopefully Tryamkin). I love Stecher, but we are unlikely to be able to afford him and I think we can find another serviceable bottom pairing guy for cheaper (possibly Rafferty already in the system and back to Tryamkin again for the time being this season).

Stecher will be gone Tanev will return if he can be re signed for a reasonable cap and term. If he's looking for that big money long term hell be gone .. most likely to the Easter conference.

 

Next year

 

Edler Myers 

Hughes Tanev 

Benn Tryamkin

Rafferty

 

Brisebois OJ Chatfield are call ups next year from Utica. 

 

Remember team has to make playoffs next year. Or TBL gets our unprotected 1st and JB and Green likely lose their jobs.. 

 

We can't afford to have 2 rookies on D full time if want to make playoffs. 

 

Give Rafferty a spot as 7D and let him try to get into top 6 full time.

 

Call up other kids during injuries get them some NHL ice for a full time job the following year. 

 

Doesn't look like they will make playoffs  this year but they'll be close. We'll keep our 1st.

Tanev is having a career year, no games missed and on pace for over 20 points.  I guess his contract must be up.  He could cash in big.  He could fetch a 1st round pick at the trade deadline as a rental.  If we are out of the playoff hunt it's a no brainer you trade him.  However, if we have playoff aspirations then he will definitely be needed come playoff time.

Or we could make the playoffs this year and not have to worry about next year. We are 6 points out of 1st in the Pacific (albeit 6 points from being last in the Pacific) and 3 points back of the last wild card spot currently and we have a game or two in hand on most of the teams above us currently. The only situation I see us trading Tanev is if Tryamkin indeed does return and plays lights out for us.

 

Who would be the 2 rookie D full time next year even if Tanev is gone?

It's because he's not being overworked this year. He's a very good 2nd pair Dman paired with Hughes. He's getting points playing with best offensive partner he's ever had. 

 

I agree if we're really far out of playoff spot at TDL and it's possible to get a 1st do it.. then try re sign him July 1st.
