theminister Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 7 minutes ago, oldnews said: We could also simply retain on Edler - that is unless Callahan is willing to waive period moving forward so that we expose him - if protecting him is necessary, I'd say that's a non-starter (and could cause collateral damage for us). Another possibility is taking back Coburn in a deal - of course depending on how Tampa values him. Should have clarified. Yes, it would require being contingent on that. They're going to expose one of Garrison or Coburn now anyway even if they don't acquire a D before the ED. They might rather keep both as a hedge against the other being taken if they did acquire and protect Edler. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 22 minutes ago, theminister said: It was an odd decision to be sure. I'm just not convinced that spending 4 mil on Niemi over Lehtonen would be their preference right now. Either way it will be an expensive tandem any way they go. I think Nill really loves the idea of the two goalie system, and now with Hitch I think that's the way they will try to go, but that usually only works when you got an upcoming goalie on a ELC or low bridge contract. (ie, Fluery/Murray, Bishop/Vas, Miller/Marky, Luongo/Schnieder, Tukka/Thomas) With a salary cap, teams can't afford to have 10 mill locked up in two goalies. I think they will look to move one of those two goalies and then either trade/sign another one in the summer. Maybe Mason, goes there since he's familiar with Hitch, maybe they throw money at Bishop, or even go after Elliot (again familiar with hitch). But I think the goalie they go after will likely be the #1 goalie with the goalie they don't move to remain the back up... If i'm the stars, i'm trying to move both goalies. And start fresh, get/sign a #1 goals and a young upcoming back up. for the #1 they should: trade for Fluery, or sign Bishop, or sign Mason, or sign Elliot for the young back up they should trade for Anton Forsberg from CBJ They'd then only have 5-7 mill locked up in goal tending rather than 10-12 million. and at least have a #1 goalie in their system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with any of that. They certainly should be aggressive in remaking that backend now. Maybe winning the lottery gives them the assets that allow them to do things they might not have a week ago? It will be an expensive proposition for them to divest themselves of both goalies now with no cap and no bad contracts coming back their way. So few buyers willing to do that. That may play into the Canucks hands, as you all suggest. Korpisalo should be their target though IMO, not Forsberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - I think Tampa would probably prefer to add a D without subtracting, and have a viable protection spot to upgrade - Coburn has been solid for them - they'd probably prefer to move forward cap or take Eddie with retention.

But if they go the free agent signing route (bishop/mason/Elliot) then definitely Korpisalo should be the main target. If some how the stars were able to get a hold of Murray and Korpisalo that would be a major boost to their back end. Just spit balling but.. Lehtonen + 2018 first round pick for Tanev (package) Honka + Tufte/Gurianov + DAL 2nd round pick for Murray + Korpisalo Buyout Niemi Sign UFA Mason July 1 Protect * *Murray *Klingberg Hamhuis *Tanev Lindell Oleksiaki Mason *Korpisalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampStatus Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 As much as it pains me to say this. I don't think Tanev will ever go to Dallas. Do you really think Tom Gaglardi would let this trade go through. Even if it is an even trade. The only time Tom Gaglardi will make a trade with the Canucks it would have to be along the lines of the San Fransisco 49ers trade with Chicago Bears.

Seeing as Dallas isn't trading expansion players that they care about if claimed there is no reason for them to make that trade before the expansion draft. For the Canucks... Well we have Edler, Tanev, Gudbranson, Sbisa and Biega where we can protect 3/5... Whilst I like Sbisa I think Tanev will be more desirable after the expansion draft where teams don't need to protect them and if we lose Sbisa or Biega in the draft then that means we didn't lose Gaunce. It's a luxury we can look to exploit for this reason. Goalie wise I agree with you, Korpisalo would be a great pickup as a backup // developing starter. Anyways overall there will be alot of interested parties for Tanev, guy eats top minutes, has great fancy transition stats and is on a wicked contract for the next 3 years. Only detractor is his injury history which hopefully teams ignore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has won a Stanley Cup with Dallas and they jhave been in the past and are currently a far far superior team to Vancouver (goaltending aside). He probably looks back now thinking it was the best thing that ever happened and the joke is most certainly on FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he have negative value? He's younger than Miller. Who would DAL replace him with? DAL is also a poor team and not contending, you would think they'd highly value that 8th overall this year (or whatever they get). I still think TOR is the perfect trading partner for Tanev. They want to win now, need a good, experienced RHD, and would probably be on board giving up their 1st + We shouldn't trade one of the best shut down defensemen in the NHL to a team that has a super powered offence and needs defence. You are literally just building up a championship team for the leafs while we would not be able to get any similar in value to Tanev back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm liking TM's proposal from elsewhere: Quote Tanev + CLB 2nd to DAL for 3rd OA, Lehtonen and Oleksiak. Draft one of Mittel/Glass/Vilardi (or slim chance of Patrick falling) at 3 and Liljegrin at 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we help a team in the east to become a contender, so be it. We have Edmonton, Calgary, Anaheim, Chicago, Nashville etc, to worry about here.
