Someone tell me how I should feel about this.

 

[Mobiandi]

@crackdown44 Boston Pizza still on?

 

[JurassicTunga]

So when are we gonna sign Toffoli.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

I saw 4 years and told myself I don’t like it. Couldn’t sign Brodie for that extra half a mil? SMH

 

[super6646]

Do not like. Shutdown dmen in his early 30s who has injury issues... what could possibly go wrong?

We have absolutely 0 offence on our backend... f***ing 0.

 

[DFF]

So basically brodie for tanev

 

[FlamerForLife]

I don't like it here...

 

[User1996]

Like the player, but the fact he’s a f***ing bandaid doesn’t sit great

 

[DFF]

He replaces Hamonic


Don't think this is going to work out too good

He probably didn't want to be here. Maybe Brad trying to ship him out left right and centre wasn't the best idea...

 

[Mobiandi]

He brings some leadership here but I'm still in a Brodie mourning period. Might come around on this in January

Could’ve been. Maybe Brodie just wanted to go home.

When Tanev's healthy
?

 

[Dack]

That's an awful contract

 

[FlamesFreak4]

Flames fans: shake up the team!

Also flames fans: why didn’t we keep the same players?!?

 

[PG Canuck]

Biggest question mark is Tanev's health. I'm probably happy the Canucks walked away with the term he got, knowing his past. When healthy, he's the quietest player on the ice who will always have an impact on the game.

 

[wonton15]

Canucks fan here - wouldn't have given Tanev 4 years at all and clearly Benning didn't either. When he's in the lineup, he is a solid solid shut down guy who's extremely smart and efficient. Doesn't hit or have much offense but basically has played as a #2 beside Hughes.

Hope he stays healthy for you guys...

 

[Zirakzigil]

Upgrade on Hammer. Like the player, contract is okay.l, hopefully he stays healthy. Would of preferred Vatanen though. Stetcher next?

 

[Bounces R Way]

One year too long but the price is right. The writing was on the wall for Brodie since the failed trade came out. Bet he was offered a similar contract here and chose TO.

Another high character defense only defenseman. I don't want to believe this is another Hamonic, but it sure feels that way. Hopefully he doesn't break his face the first week here.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I like this deal. I prefer Brodie, I can’t figure out why he’s not a Flame anymore. But I do like Tanev quite a bit. But like everyone is saying, I have concern for his health.

 

[JPeeper]

I don't see the Hamonic comparisons at all, Tanev was actually good before we got him and played top minutes. Hamonic had a bad year before we traded for him. Sure they are both defensive defence-man, but there's a difference when one is actually good and the other is Hamonic.

Flames have no right d in the pipeline and need a top 4 defensive guy. Tanev is way better than Hamonic ever was. Obviously I would prefer Brodie, but you need two to tango and he wasn't signing.

Keep going, I’m almost there.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

This is that "same but different" rebound you hooked up with off Tinder after your ex left you for someone else. You know it's not gonna work out but anything has to be better than the massive void they left you alone with.
