Anybody know the price? Either way fully deserved he's consistently been one of the best D-man on the team for the past couple years!

 

[IntangiBo]

That video is a tad awkward.

 

[CCF23]

He could've gotten 5M elsewhere. Pleased with this.

 

[Jay Cee]

Great value, I think that is a steal by the time they get later in that deal. People are throwing stupid money at dmen who are half as good as Tanev.

We clearly wanted him and he clearly wanted us. Kudos on management.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Nice cap hit, a tad lower than I was expecting ($4.5m). Nice to know he's locked up!

 

[Zone Exits]

Just your friendly reminder that half of this board wanted to trade him to move up a few spots in the 2014 draft.

 

[ahmon]

why didn't we sign him to a better deal in the offseason.

Wow great work GMJB!

We theoretically could've chosen the future Calder winner Ekblad, so, risk/reward

 

[Bro Horvat]

how awesome a feeling it must be at 25 to walk out of a room knowing you just made 17.8 mill?

 

[arsmaster*]

why didn't we sign him to a better deal in the offseason.

Could we have?

I can't really see the savings. Why would he have taken less?

It's 445k more than I'd have hoped, but he's our best dmen and makes everyone he's paired with look better.

Hope he can be more durable.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

So happy now, I can see a goal from Tanman tonight.

 

[polarbearcub]

Love the deal. Not too long, fair for both sides.

Gonna guess Tanev wanted 6 and canucks wanted 4.

Something something bird in the hand two in the bush etc.

 

[Taelin]

Good term, good money.

 

[Serac]

Sigh of relief from the Vancouver fanbase

 

[Huggy]

Good god yes

 

[Karl Hungus]

I think that when we compare Tanev's deal to Brodie and Brodin we also have to consider that he's signed back to back one year deals leading up to this. He's already been amenable to the Canuck's cap satiation for a while and is giving up more UFA years.

 

[PG Canuck]

Yes! Tanman!

 

[Nuckles]

Fair deal, happy to have him locked up for a while.

I would have like that number to have been closer to $4M considering what other young RFA top 4 d-men have been getting lately, but it isn't bad either.
