CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Barrie CANNOT fill Tanevs spot on the PK, or playing minutes shutting down other teams top players. Myers will be our #1 RD if we don’t sign Tanev, scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I seem to recall JB saying that guys like Tanev and Markstrom earned the right to explore the market. Maybe the lack of contact wasn't so much disinterest from the Canucks but them giving him space to find out what his market value is and then circling back to see if the Canucks can match it or make the offer they're comfortable with and leave it to Tanev to decide.

peaches5 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Figured they'd try to sign Tanev after OEL fell apart. Edited October 9, 2020 by peaches5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev has to be the priority over Toffoli if we're re-signing players. But I suspect Jim is fishing in fresher waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Tanev and Barrie would actually be a pretty good results if possible under the cap. I find the Barrie situation interesting. Good number of people wanted him here when on Colorado and one okay year in Toronto and he's the worst D to ever play the game. Have to think he'd still be a valuable add for the next two years if we can get him short term. Tanev, Barrie and Holtby on two year deals would be a pretty amazing haul!

RWMc1 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Haven't offered a contract isn't the same as not negotiating. I'm sure Benning has kept contact with Tanev's agent the entire time. Come on Tanev, re-sign. Do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 $8mil in cap and 20 contracts. Three to sign, including Jake, so looking like Tanev or Barrie and a UFA dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a LOT of players chose to go UFA and see what's out there and may circle back after finding, things are much tighter than expected and not getting the offers they thought would be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson will be in Utica, freeing up 1 million more...likely same with Baer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 If we want some more Stanley Cup pedigree why not look at Shattenkirk (Likely cheaper than Barrie) and Bogosion (Cheaper than Tanev) on the right side: Hughes Myers Edler Shattenkirk Joulevi Bogosian Maybe not option 1 but could be pretty good backup plan and fit under the cap still.

It's not about being the worst D. The question mark is about his physical ability to be effective against the big forwards we have to face in the Playoffs! We already have to shelter Hughes. I don't see Barrie as an effective partner for Hughes so Barrie would get more D zone starts. Plus we need pkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Stecher, but to be honest, don't really want him back unless it's for Leivo type money. Love the heart, but I still feel he doesn't process the game fast enough. Lots of movement but not a lot of vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be Myers paired with Hughes and Barrie paired with Edler. I think that could work and I think it allows Edler to move from a two way D to more of a defensive D which I think matches better with his career trajectory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I want Tanev back if we don't have any other plan to acquire a young defenceman. But hopefully its a short term as well.. like 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wants to" and "can" are two very different deals. I'm sure there are upgrades he'd love to make but they have to be right and the other parties have a say in that too. Slim pickin's out there and everyone's gunning for the same players....prices go way up. So...we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, fair enough point, but the Canucks defense sucked for the better part of the year so by continually bringing back the same players it's not going to change that. I know you are sentimental to long served Canucks but sometimes you gotta move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
