Qwags Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I like how the one time Benning restrains himself from making bad deals it still backfires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom was injured in March. Would have missed 5 weeks. Then he got injured in the playoffs and our backup had to stand on his head because of our D in order to take us to game 7. Tanev, who was a part of that D that allowed 40-50 shots every night, is injured for 20-30 games almost every year and also got injured in March. But people want to sign these 30 year old guys to long term contracts. It doesn’t make much sense to me. Benning is much better served to either go after a superstar like Pietrangelo or get a much better and younger top 4 right handed Dman via a trade. As for Markstrom, we have our goalie of the future in Demko and Benning was smart enough to go out and get a very good 1B and Stanley Cup champion as his mentor for the next two years. 3 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev has been one of the best shutdown D-men in the league the past 6 years or so. I'm not saying they're going to look great at the back-end of their respective contracts but their performance shouldn't dip too far down the next few years ago while Calgary thinks they can win. Calgary got better today, there's no denying that. Marky was their win Their defence is no better with their own FA losses and adding Tanev 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 mehhhh oh well. Not really bothered about this, same goes with the Marky signing. Good on them for cashing in i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KariyaSakicAnderson Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Good on Tanev to get his contract. He was good player here and will do well in Calgary but unlike some I'm not worried about how or by whom he will be replaced. There is still plenty of time of to sign UFAs or make trades for some Dman. Let other teams through term, money at players then when they've realised there mistakes let us come in and get a good replacement at a cheaper cost. Columbus apparently wants to move Savard, he has 1 yr left is more than a good replacement for Tanev. He may come in cheap as it seems like Columbus wants to re-up PLD long term and go after AP. Washington may have 2 dman available for trade, Jensen who is equal to Tanev and Siegenthanler who is up and coming and young. FLA needs wingers and a centre and are inclined to move Weegar who again imo will be equal to Tanev next year. Then there is Vatanen who, not better defensively, is offensively as such not much difference there. Buffalo has a RD available etc.. I just don't want Barrie, unless it's 2 yrs and around 3 and to play on the 3rd pairing and 2nd PP Edited October 10, 2020 by KariyaSakicAnderson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 5 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Debatable. Tanev, while a very shrewd and intelligent defenseman, was injury prone and spent half of every season as such. He had zero physicality and offered very little in the way of offense. Markstrom was exceptional, at times, and was a sieve at other times. He could be easily gotten off his game. While both players were great Canucks, they are far from irreplaceable. They’re gone. Forget about them. Seemed like every other game he would get horizontally checked against the boards. Tanev is one hit away from being in a wheelchair. He did a great job acclimating Hughes to the NHL but that job is done now. Watch Marky falter without Clarke and Holtby return to Vezina form working with him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His term is favorable at one more year 4.25M. He's also a team leader and can do many things (multi-dimensional). Oh, and he's a righty. Edit. He also hits.

Francesco is a billionaire and has been a huge Canucks fan since he was a teenager. He wants to win a Cup more than you and me. This notion that he’s cheap or doesn’t want to spend to the cap is a bunch of BS... 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 We're still early in free agency, as much as I like Tanev and Markstrom, neither one of those contracts make sense for us. We're looking for stop gaps on defense and goal, we have kids pushing their way into the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
