Rumor: Dhaliwal- Tanev's preference was to get traded to Van at the Deadline. Van had a better offer than Dallas but Calgary rejected it

[UrbanImpact]

Dhaliwal is very well connected with Tanev and his agent, this is what Dhaliwal said in an interview this morning.

- Tanev loves Vancouver, still very close friends with players on the roster and people in organization
- The #1 place Tanev wanted to get traded to was Vancouver
-Canucks felt they had a better offer than Dallas for Tanev
-The Stars are going to try their hardest to re-sign him, but if he resigns in Dallas, it will have to be at a very good number for Tanev and the Stars will have to overpay

You have a rough time in the interview where he talks about that?

 

[Rowlet]

Well that makes me feel a bit better about him not being traded to Vancouver, at least they gave it their all.

Also confirms what a lot of Canucks fans thought.

 

[Siludin]

Canucks spent a lot of assets already. It's probably for the best.

 

[Stephen]

Not great that Team Tanev is sending love notes to the Canucks after getting traded to Dallas.

Calgary seems to be earning a reputation for making decisions based on boardroom emotions. Odd that they’d reject Vancouver after making 2 separate deals with them with Lindholm and Zadorov. Oddballs.

My apologies, its at the 13min mark

 

[God]

Wow can't believe Calgary would delay re-uniting a father with his kids. Despicable behaviour.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Not really that much of a surprise. The better offer was unlikely to be significantly better, and trading a good player to a division rival should be a last resort without a significant upside.

Conroy is a rookie GM so maybe didn't want to appear too tight with a division rival GM within his first year. It would be very strange to make three trades with a division rival in such short succession.

There were talks in Van post trade deadline that the offer for Tanev was the 2025 1st round pick and Tanev immediately extends

Also "Team Tanev" can very well be using Dhaliwal to get the price up from Dallas. Canucks have to worry about re-signing Hronek first before entertaining Tanev as a UFA

live look at Tanev defending against JT Miller in the Western Conference Finals:

 

[Juxtaposer]

“Vancouver felt that they had a better offer” is doing a lot of work here. Just because the Canucks felt that was true doesn’t mean Calgary did.

It says the Canucks felt they had a better offer, but of course they value their own assets more than others do. Calgary obviously felt differently.

The offers were all in close proximity.

 

[Love]

This mentality of not trading a player to a division rival is so idiotic on many levels and is a red flag for any management team that believes in it.

First of all, why don’t the Canucks have the mentality of “We’re not gonna trade draft picks to a division rival!” How is it any different than the selling team saying that about their player? And we’re talking about the Flames here. They’re not making the playoffs. Why would they care about if the Canucks or the Stars get better this year? It has nothing to do with them. And finally, this specific scenario is especially idiotic since they already traded Zadorov and Lindholm to the Canucks.

The report after trade deadline was their offer was a better draft pick, so its either a 1st round pick or a 2x 2nd round pick

Agreed. Best deal is best deal. Trading Tanev should be about the future. Calgary should be focused on it too. They're a trade of Markstrom away from being a bottom feeder.

Ok, and who's to say that two second round picks is more valuable than what they got back in return?

Grushnikov was a 2nd rounder himself whom the scouts here really like.. value is always subjective.

... And that's exactly the mindset Conroy has had.. otherwise Zadorov and Lindholm wouldn't be Canucks.

-Canucks felt they had a better offer than Dallas for Tanev

I also feel that I'm a better hockey player that Connor McDavid, which means I absolutely am.

Also, teams using insiders for comm work that their official staffers very obviously can't do. Again.

 

[Czechboy]

I wanted Tanev on my oilers badly. However, just as a playoff rental. So I would have been fine if he had gone to Vancouver in offseason.

I think this was exactly why though, it was already weird to make 2 trades with them in-season, they probably drew the line there unless the Canucks overpaid. Also the way Dhaliwal words this, he's implying that the Canucks thought their package for Tanev was more valuable, maybe they included a prospect that the Flames didn't value as highly.

 

[bossram]

Sign him in the offseason Allvin.

Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Tanev
Cole - Juulsen

That seems to be the piece doing the heavy lifting. I've heard GM's say they felt they had a better offer for things before and yet that seems like a way to grease the skids about why they didn't get the deal done was because of them, there, those guys, not us! It screams of "we tried!"

Cole looks cooked!

Big Z looks soo good lately, but he is going to cost a lot to keep.

That's who Dali gets his info from is from Agents. Tanev would have been a 2008 draft pick, so he's 34 now, and 35 before end of the year. So, get an angle where he's aiming for a bigger contract if negotiations with Dallas have begun.

 

[Some Other Flame]

If Vancouver actually had the better offer, then Tanev would be a Canuck right now. They clearly didn't though so he's not
