Did Tanev protect the Canucks from Hughes mistake. I say yes. Tanev is that responsible with and without the puck. Can a small Defenseman play defense few and far between. Is Hughes one of them? I say NO. Can Benning acquire a new Tanev. I say hell no. Benning can not make a trade for the life of this team never mind find a new Tanev. Hamonic is no Tanev Which leads to the real question can we afford to keep Hughes as a defensive liability and at the ridiculous cost he can command. I say NO. Sell now well his price is high or feel the Wrath of his future contract for years to come. Tanev is not the reason we are playing this bad...Its the whole team nobody is playing good,....No grit teams just walk around us, no urgency, just awful hockey, bad plays, poor goalies...

Arrow 1983 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you guys think Eriksson contract is bad HA Eriksson was signed when they sucked What if Hughes signs long term and he is a bust. You will all blame Benning and yet will have all been for it. You will all forget this post was ever made and think no one saw it coming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are QB sucks Our QB has no Tanev therefore, one could reason not having Tanev could be the issue. Our QB had Tanev last year and he had no issues It is just like in NFL QBs do not fair so well with centers they are not use to Edited February 7, 2021 by Arrow 1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If Tanev can help cover Hughes weaknesses and allow Hughes to focus on his strengths, then there will be another defenceman that can do the same. Tanev was a great player for us but he is no god. The problem is that we don't have such defenceman on the roster at the moment. I think we need to possess the puck more for Hughes to shine. With the way we let the other team gain the blue line with ease, that makes the job of defending way harder including Hughes. QH has weaknesses but he will improve; in fact, now that his weaknesses are out in the open, we should be able to sign him to a reasonable bridge deal. The right question to ask is not whether we need QH but whether JB the right man to build the team moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the same title The Difference This one is not going turn out as fun as that one even if Burrows had sucked he was making 2 mill a year If I am right and I really do feel I am this team will never have success with an anchor of a contract that Hughes can command especially in a flat cap era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are so desperate to see a number 1 dman here they convinced themselves that he could be one. If this team is going anywhere, they need to develop a true number 1 dman that can do more than just pass the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same team and we go back the the way it was prior to covid mediocrity Tanev by himself the team is worse without Hughes offense but better Defensively Hughes on Cal without Tanev Cal way worse do you see Cal defensive numbers there is no way they could cover Hughes mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
