Confirmed with Link: Canucks re-sign D Chris Tanev to 1-Year, $2M Deal

[The Stig]

I'm ok with it.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Tanev is going to take another big step next season, and we're going to be in a worse negotiating position next summer.

Should have signed him to a long term deal at 4m+. Guy is going to get paid the big bucks anyway.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

I'm not sure Benning is sold on what Tanev brings. I'm personally happy to have him back. I think he's a solid top 5 defender who can eat minutes, even if he doesn't play a very splashy style.

I think Benning wants to see if this guy has any offence in him before he signs him long term.

 

[Reign Nateo]

1 year is good, can negotiate long term as an RFA if he continues to grow. A 2 year contract and he's a lot harder to get signed long term as an UFA.

If he takes a big step then that is great for the team. He isn't a UFA until 2017, that is when Hamhuis and Bieksa's contracts expire. If he can put up numbers that is comparable to other 4+Mil defencemen then the team is on great shape going forward.

Well we know what he's going to be worth after one more season, if he's worth a 5 yr contract after that.

Plus could be awesome trade bait if there's any validity to us kicking the tires on Myers, unlikely but ya never know.

 

[luongo321]

I'm glad he's signed. He is my favourite d-man on the Canucks. I actually appreciate defense when I watch him play. I can't say the same thing about some of the other d-men on this team.

 

[ddawg1950]

He'll get moved. Thinks he's better than he is and wants to get paid according to that.

Not sure but wasn't his dad his agent?

Last year...until they reached an impasse. Then they hired Ross gurney to negotiate his contract. Not sure if Gurney is still involved.

 

[CCF23]

$2 million. That's a steal.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

2 million. Great deal

 

[JerkChicken]

1 year $2 Million (according to Friedman)

 

[LiquidSnake]

2mil is probably par on the course here. Maybe 2.5 is what he's actually worth.

He'll have another season to prove himself and I guess we'll see where it goes from there.

There's no place in the universe he's worth 4mil

 

[ugghhh]

I really would have preferred a long term deal. I'd have no problem giving Tanev a NTC (I know no one wants to see that.. but Tanev's on ice value is >> his trade value, imo)

We'll see what they do with the extra cap space.

 

[Addison Rae]

2 million is a good contract for Tanev, expected him to get at least 3.

Roman Josi is a player who I can see Tanev mirroring in quite a few ways.

I believe Tanev is too young to have a NTC.

 

[Seatoo]

@BakesTakes84: 2 million for Tanev. I was worried it might be closer to 3. Good deal.

1yr deal puts the ball in Tanev's court. If he can improve then we pay him more, which is a win-win. Nice incentive for both sides.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Yup. I believe it's 27 years old

 

[LiquidSnake]

Roman Josi is a player who I can see Tanev mirroring in quite a few ways.

40 pt dman? That's going to be hard to reach unless he really improves his offensive game.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Solid deal. Again, wish we could lock him up for a few years, but this will do for now.

 

[pahlsson]

josi is way better offensively

 

[Canucks LB]

This leaves us with some serious cap

I believe that your belief is correct.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Meh, only about $2m once we re-sign Vey.
