A lot of these scribes are nothing more than parasites. They “leak” insider info which has the potential to affect a deal being signed, and then these same douchebags complain about the team not getting a deal done.

He is a warrior for this team and we need him defensively. As long as it’s not a huge overpayment I think we need to re-sign him. If they do let Tanev go, I certainly hope they have a backup plan to get more defense because building on top of this year without Tanev will be difficult. We'll basically be the Toronto of the west, just substitute Reilly with Hughes and you have our defense. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to just provide facts, but he’s now sliding in his slimeball conjecture into his tweets. Yeah, he went from the most respected source in my books (outside of Bob Mackenzie of course) and slid all the way down to the level of all the other media hacks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillion would be an ideal Tanev replacement. He’s been counted on in both San Jose and Washington to support the teams star mobile defensemen, in Karlsson and Carlson (weird!). He’d also be a great partner for Hughes should a player take liberties with him, as Dillon sticks up for his teammates and is a big dude from Surrey.

We need a team with all of the Karlssons and Carlsons. I just want to see what the announcers do in saying who's who. If Dillon helps I'm all for it, provided we aren't just getting him due to him being local. I know how lovestruck people on these forums can get about local boys we don't have. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s well known as a solid stay at home defenseman whose been paired with elite Norris winning puck movers, in both SJ and Washington. He also provides another big body on the blue line who is not afraid to pushback at all. To me, that’s a great combination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for you to be correct we'd have to lose Edler and Myers and then we'd be like Toronto's D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest issue I see is with the cap, but we have a lot of unanswered questions at the moment too considering Eriksson and others. The flat cap doesn't help either, but considering that's going to happen league wide, I wonder how much free agents will actually be paid this year. Teams not up against the cap could be having a heyday in free agency while teams up against the cap may be going "I wish". Who knows though. I guess we'll find out.

I do like Tanev but his play objectively is a little bit in decline. Not sure how many hard miles he has left.... I'd like to think 5 but just cant see it. If someone's willing to give him 5 mil x 4 or 5 years I'll be happy for him but that number is too high for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
