I agree that the value is off. Tanev is much more valuable than Galchenyuk.

Such passive aggressiveness.
Either way, I guess Galchenyuk's in good company considering Marner's a "4th liner" too.

Is this the part where folks reply with discussion as to how Tanev sucks because he plays for a bad team? I'm not sure which player evaluation logical fallacies we're supposed to be using at this point.

None.
We're talking about fans that are overrating their players to make them feel better.
MTL is in WIN NOW MODE, and does not do this trade b/c they can NOT score goals and Tanev DOES NOT SCORE GOALS. He is amazing defensively but crap offensively. They have, arguably the best goaltender in Price, and one of the best NHL D man in Weber.
VAN does not do this b/c they can NOT score goals OR stop goals, Chucky DOES NOT STOP GOALS. He would be a amazing fit on the second line but VAN has much deeper problems than just scoring. I.E, they need an actual centre to replace H.Sedin not named Horvat/Chucky, replace their G, and find a #1 D .. if anything trade MTL for Mete + 1st +, and go from there.

Habs decline. If you want Galchenyuk, we are looking for a a package deal. Young center and LD. Depending on the players, we might even add our 2018 1st and one of our young goaltending prospects (Lindgren and McNiven). That's the type of trade the Habs are looking for IMO.

Sorry, what the Habs needs is, either a top pairing puck moving offensive LD or a C. Thus, this trade makes no sense, unless it's a three way deal where we then trade Tanev for something we do need.
Tanev appears to be the new JVR of the trade boards. I don't think the Canucks get anything close they're looking for for him.

They get what reasonable fans want. A first and good prospect. Not Galchenyuk, Marner etc.

They don't...except MB might actually think the team needs more defense before offense...

Nobody really wants Galchenyuk, he's expendable on a team that is desperate for offensive and his supposed strength is offense, I see him as a fit for Vancouver as Galchenyuk has upside and Vancouver should be rebuilding. I overlooked Montreal being strong on the right side in this proposal so Tanev isn't the best fit. That said, the Habs would be hard pressed to get better value than Tanev.

Nobody really wants Galchenyuk... Complete BS!! You know what, If we don't get the value we want, we don't trade him. But your comeback is, his value might get worse? Well, you and many others have already reduced him to a bag of pucks so his value can't get any worse according to your standards
. Galchenyuk >> Tanev. You are trying to get Galchenyuk at low value and it won't work. Habs are not trading for depth on RD and we are looking for Centers and LD.
Galchenyuk and one of Lindgren and McNiven for Nelson and De Hann is a deal I can see going down here in the next few weeks. You can keep Tanev.

One dimensional "okay" player for another one dimensional "okay" player. Seems fair enough.
If You replace 'Canucks' With 'Montreal' and 'Tanev' with 'Galchenyuk' the statement still holds up. Weird.

The problem is that Tanev is a legitimately valuable player... but not so valuable that you can immediately kickstart a rebuild, or grab some other team's core youngsters. And everyone offering Tanev in deals so far seems to fail to recognize that there's a difference between that latter level of value and "lol they think he's valueless".

Keep Tanev? I hate the Nucks, lol. Montreal as an organization is devaluing Galchenyuk. He's sat on the trade market for quite sometime, no one is motivated to get him. His value is that he's still a shinny enough piece for when another (better) talent forces himself onto the market.Nobody really wants Galchenyuk... Complete BS!!

There is interest to acquire Galchenyuk but the asking price will be high. Just like Duchene with Sakic. So, if you don't want to pony up, go try to get Duchene then. Habs are in no rush to dump Galchenyuk into your hands for low return value.
And theres quite a few Canucks fans ive seen who dont want to move Tanev at all. This is the problem with making blanket statements.
