Nucksfan3322 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The bolts need to go all in while they can. Trading Drouin for a top shutdown damn (tanev) while dumping cap (Callahan or garrison) I'm guessing they would want to swap picks also which is doable as we can draft a center next year as we will probably pick high again. This trade might hurt for a bit with Callahan stupid cap but worth it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Tampa isn't going to make that deal. I think you need to make another "purposal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The Bolts already proved this year they aren't interested in going all in. They prefer to make incremental changes to keep them near the top of the heap. Look at the Bishop trade. Instead of picking up rentals for a playoff run, they shipped off Bishop for a prospect and a swap of picks. While they may want to dump cap, it will be to keep Drouin, not to trade him.

They didnt go all in because of injuries to star players but they can't afford to do this again, they need cap space to sign players, they need to choose who they can sign and who will bring In more from a trade (drouin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sygvard Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This isn't another Tanev proposal. This is the exact same Tanev proposal. This feels like groundhogs day, but with greasier hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Canucks are thin at RHD. They have Tanev, Gudbranson, Stecher, Biega and Subban. If they trade Tanev, they'll need to fill that spot. I think if the Canucks draft a RHD (Liljegren or Makar), then Tanev may be on the move. Until then, I can't see them trading away their best D.

As we are rebuilding, trading tanev makes sense. We can always fill his spot with a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not directed at you, but I do see this posted quite a bit about filling Tanev/Edler/whoever's spot with a free agent after a trade; however doesn't this mean that the other team could just sign the free agent and not trade for Tanev/Edler/whoever?

In my mind tanev is better than what you can get in FA and also cheaper which is huge for Tampa, I'm not saying that whomever we get will replace tanevs ability I'm just saying we can fill that hole without rushing one of our youngsters.

If we can't get anything of fair value I'm all for keeping him, having him on either stetch or huttons line is still going to be good and keep us in games even if we don't win many.

mll Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Tampa was trying to acquire Shattenkirk at the TDL because they have been looking for ages for a right-handed PMD but he was not willing to sign an extension with them so the deal fell apart. Tanev and Shattenkirk are very different defenders - if they are looking for offence Tanev is probably not a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, tossing him away for just the sake of a trade would be way bad. I like your idea of Tanev with Hutton. Maybe he plays with Juiolevi too?

I'm hoping juolevi makes the jump and plays well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
