Erik Karlsson Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 To Van Alex Galchenyuk To Montreal Chris Tanev Montreal needs a top 4 d-man. I think Price would return to form if Tanev joined their d, been pretty bad lately. With Price and Weber and their contracts they still need to try and win. Mete-Weber Alzner-Tanev pretry solid top 4 Galchenyuk definitely seems like he could use a change of scenery. Only getting around 12 mins of ice time a game lately. He scored 30 goals as a 21 year old and was top 10 in scoring last season before he got injured. Still only 23 years old and we could definitely use his speed and skill. Next season if the twins retire Baertschi-Horvat-Boeser Galchenyuk-Gagner?-Virtanen Granlund-Sutter-Eriksson Gaunce-Gaudette-Goldobin Edler-Stecher Del Zotto-Gudbranson Hutton-Pouliot Markstrom Demko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 With Weber and Petry on the right already Tanev doesn't really fit their needs, Defense isn't Montreal's biggest concern. Price has just been struggling. If Galchenyuk is moved (and I don't think it's a sure thing that he is ) Montreal MUST address thier top 6 C issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rocket Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think Montreal would have to add to make this deal fair, maybe a 2nd round pick. I like this idea but the Canucks are serverly lack of in RHD depth compared to forward depth, so I’m not sure it’s the best deal for the long term of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 As of right now Tanev is too much to give up for Galchenyuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpennyCanuck Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Would rather roll with what we have. I'm sure Benning will offer a second round pick though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 with the way Gaudette is developing I'm not sure Chucky is going to be an upgrade on that. And for Tanev we can get a package of picks and prospects otherwise its not worth it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I like the idea of acquiring Chucky, but not at the cost of Tanev. I think our D corp is average at best right now and would only become below average by losing Tanev. If we had more high end defensive prospects in our pipeline, I would be more inclined, but there is nobody right now that I am banking on that can replicate Tanev's workload/potential in the near future.

I agree I'd rather keep Tanev and package him for picks/prospects to another team if Canucks don't keep him and watch Montreal fail due to poor Management.

Tanev doesn't solve their problem anyway. Before last nights shellacking of Ottawa they were the lowest scoring team in the league. Montreal needs to put pucks in the net. Tanev doesn't help with that. At all Also. I don't uunderstand that logic. Let's say Tanev did fill a need for Montreal and the trade made sense. Are you under the impression that Vancouver is the only team Montreal could deal with to try to turn their fortunes around? If there's not a deal to be made with Vancouver they can look elsewhere. Id there's a deal that helps Vancouver. As a Canuck fan you should be I favour for it. Regardless of what it does for the other team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Personally, I feel we have a lot of offensive depth and more waiting with Dahlen, Goldobin, and Pettersson. We need defensemen more than forwards IMO, so I'd be hesitant to trade Tanev for anything other than a young stud of a defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably where a Liljegren+1st trade for Tanev makes so much sense for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though I'm not sure Tanev has quite that much value. Liljegren could be a premier player. Maybe remove the 1st and add a 2nd and 3rd/4th or something. Still, the trade would make a lot of sense conceptually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what it does for the other team Not sure if your talking to me or referencing some other posters here but Montreal isn't the best trade partner for Vancouver they have Galchenyuk but Bergevin won't let him go for next to nothing. Tanev doesn't make the best trade piece for him when Vancouver could get more value out of him from another team. Ideally I think keeping Tanev and seeing how this season goes if they make it to the playoffs could be more useful to keep him than to trade him.

I was referring to you "keep Tanev and let Montreal fail due to poor management" statement. I've already said Tanev isn't a fit in Montreal. In fact the two teams make poor trading partners. what I was saying that IF the trade made sense (which it doesn't). It shouldn't matter what it will do for Montreal. As long as it helps Vancouver.

The only player that really suits their needs is Horvat. And that's a non starter. You may see minor trades between these two teams. But there isn't a fit for a trade involving big name players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If we knew Tram was returning(say 2 yrs later)..trade CT just prior. Gudbranson, Try, Stecher & Chatfield would make a pretty decent RH-side. In his contract yr, & if we retained a big chunk, could get back a small fortune in youth for Tanev. Meantime, the guy settles down our whole core, & improves all lefty's he's paired with. Maybe we can deal Edler soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The Habs need help down the middle and the Canucks aren't desperate for anything. I only see a trade if a sweetheart deal falls in Bennings lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
