Something to keep in mind, acquiring Tanev (50% retained) isn't possible unless the Canucks either
1. Free up cap space with an additional trade
2. Put Soucy on LTIR for remainder of the season (unlikely given the injury and initial return timetable)
3. Only keep 22 players on roster (one spare F and D, or no spare F and two D)
Without any of the above, assuming they have a 13th forward making 775k (either PDG or Kessel) and Friedman is the odd man out on D, the most they can spend on a defenseman is $1.86M with no retention, or up to $3.72M (in full season salary) with 50% retained.
