Fast forward 8 years and everyone is on him because he cant stay healthy. His body is broke down because of what he did for the team years ago. I agree its time to move on, but based on his diminished value, I wouldn't be surprised to see him suit up for the nucks and if healthy, moved at the deadline next spring.

If Justin Braun gets a 2nd and 3rd, Tanev is getting a mid to late first or a high second with a very good prospect. His injuries have come from playing on a low posession team, and having to block everything in sight. On a puck possession team, Tampa, Toronto, Pitts, he'll stay healthy and help those teams tremendously. And he's on a good contract and will never command huge dollars as a defensive dman, lots for teams to like there. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways it is similar to the Edler situation. Both guys were HUGE for us in our 2011 run, sacrificed their bodies for the team and now are being called brittle and overrated by the same fans who praised them when we were winning. Nature of the beast I guess, but does not make it right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with Eddie was likely the NTC, given its been said he's opened that issue up (willingness to waive for Seattle), then its just money and Aquaman has always shown a willingness to spend if his GM asks for it. Tanev moving for a mid to late first rounder is needed, and given Braun went for a 2nd and 3rd, he should get that. Sign Meyers, have Tryamkin coming back next year who can play the right side, Hughes can also play right. Plus never know how Woo shows in camp. We're good.. That could work. Not a huge Meyers fan, and his contract will most definitely be insane, but some version of this could work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I mentioned on another thread, that I was thinking JB might want to get Eddie done before the draft if he's getting done for exactly this reason. Keep one of the two key vets (and clearly likely Eddie vs letting him walk for nothing) and move Tanev, then sign a UFA RD (I hope Meyers). Get mid to late first for Tanev (Braun just went for a 2nd and third). I think there's a trade coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MeanSeanBean Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 Guy is a warrior. He has quietly done his job exceedingly well here (when healthy). I could still see him being an extremely important middle D on another team. He might be able to stay healthy if he isn't leaned on so heavily. hopefully we can fetch a pick or package for a younger player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if we do move Tanev (and keep Eddy) doesn't that mean we need a right shot D to replace him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have traded him 2 years ago when it was sky high, or just keep him and hope his value increases to what it once was and he can be a serviceable shutdown guy for us. Never underestimate a GM's ability to overspend on July 1, and overpay on TDL day and at the draft. Tanev could still bring in some good assets. Also, never underestimate Trader Jim's ability to make underwhelming trades, and odd free agent decisions. Also, never underestimate the negative effects of an expired burrito on your digestive system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically a younger, bigger version of Edler with better hands and better mobility. He's been stuck behind 2 all stars in Big Buff and Trouba. People forget he was a 40 pt dman in Buffalo and still has been putting up decent numbers in the peg. He's a solid 2d who would be great as a 2nd pp QB after QH, and can kill penalties etc. He's 6'8" 229 You don't like the looks of this future D as a cup run in 2 years? 4 big men who can all move with a couple of mighty mites who create havoc QH Myers (6'8" 229) Juolevi (6'3" 210 by that time) Tryamkin (6'7' 265) Edler (6'3 212) Stecher Woo I likey Edited June 19, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that defense, Petey, Boeser, QH and Bo how they are progressing, and a solid team behind them? Why not? Look at St Louis, they aren't a 'special team full of superstars", just a solid TEAM from the back end out Edited June 19, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
