Warhippy Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This puts Tanev about $4.5-$5 million. FAR too many hot name UFAs and now unqualified RFA's hitting the market for teams to have to worry about over paying under the Covid economy in the NHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm surprised the Caps can afford this signing, cap wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only Boston would pull the trigger and get OEL so we could miss that mistake too. Agreed. We already have the 23 we need on our team.

-AJ- Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 For that money, I'm glad we didn't bite. For those comparing, I don't think Dillon is very close to Tanev's value. At best equal offensively, one year younger, much more physical, but likely no where near as strong defensively. Tanev will get quite a bit more than Dillon I think.

Too risky giving him four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's part of negotiations but this is just blatant toying to get a better deal from Washington. even if it were just posturing, let him run his price up at the expense of a contender....hopefully these teams will be in our crosshairs in the near future. Personally I'd rather re-sign Tanev - but imo this is a good example of not assuming it will be easy to go to the market to replace him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Tanev has explicitly indicated that he wants to test UFA market, which he hasn't, we should try to find some way to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Tanev has explicitly indicated that he wants to test UFA market, which he hasn't, we should try to find some way to keep him. Dillon is a LHD in any event. Does this team 'really need' one? Not really. Edler, Hughes, Juolevi, (Fantenburg?), Benn, Rathbone, Brisebois, Sautner.... I'd make an exception for Ekman-larsson at the right price (with LE going the other way) but otherwise I see no point in shopping for UFA LHD, particularly ones that go in this price range...too rich, not really a principal need/option....not sure why so many people were believing he should be a principal target. Nice to hear the sentiment about interest in coming here. but it wasn't really in the cards imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thanks but no thanks. This deal will look bad in a month. Give it some time. NHL's not coming back in 2020, so rushing is a game for fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
