JVR's just another body to protect, who we'd probably have to overpay to keep. Interesting idea... he's not on the TO roster so out of sight of most fans.... him and TOs 1st.... it would make for some interesting competition between him and Boeser, and if both these guys did well it would also put some pressure on Jake to perform or potentially get moved in a different deal.

They have Jones and Savard as RHD, both more desirable to them than Tanev. They also have Werenski, Murray, and Nutivaara on the left side. Literally no use for Tanev. Especially at the expense of PLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. I didn't realize how stable their D is because it's the Blue Jackets... They've never won anything ever before. But if they did have a need for him, PLD would be a sweet return for us. The market for Tanev will not pull a Taylor Hall-type deal since Edmonton was desperate, but I do think it's possible under the right circumstances to get Dubois. What if Jones goes cold? Or Savard loses touch? And we're hovering around the TDL... PLD could be acquired at the TDL. IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs more pieces tho for the cap space. I could see something more along the lines of them sending us Boone Jenner and a pick... but we could probably get more than that out of other teams if Tanev is really on the table. We could probably get TO's 1st round pick and JVR for Tanev and maybe the Torts 2018 2nd. It's because some people on these boards have played way to much GM sim games and think a prospect is worth more than a Stanley Cup. Especially when a high end Defenceman is coming back. Look ppl, we're rebuilding. Maybe PLD pans out maybe not. What we're sure of is the fact that Tanev is a top shutdown defenseman that'll help CBJ's cause.

Especially at the expense of PLD. So in a nutshell, CBJ has 6 defenseman better than Tanev. When it comes down to the wire, it won't matter if a guy is LHD or RHD. What'll matter is the fact that you're up by 1 and there's 0.00 on the shot clock. This run that they're on is a nice Cinderella story, and they know it.

But one can hope another GM would do something lopsided in our favour eh Despite what JB says publicly if someone like McKinnon was offered for Tanev, or PLD and a high pick, it would get done in a heartbeat. Is there a chance of that? Very unlikely, but who the heck knows? You never know what the long term plans of a team is and sometimes big moves are made.
