Thank god.

Calling two years, 1.25 AAV.

EDIT: Oh, this isn't like an imminent announcement, more like a "we've started negotiations..." kind of thing.

 

[Addison Rae]

Probably similar to Demers contract.

he/his dad is representing himself IIRC?

No, he ended up hiring an agent, I think.

Yeah that is what I heard I think the dad just talked to him and guided him a bit and then recommended he hire an agent.

"Son, I don't know what the hell I'm doing, hire an agent."

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

i could def. see the NHLPA pressuring him into getting an agent as well

My guess hasn't changed.

3 years 1.2/per

 

[ARSix]

Anything from 1 to 1.3 would be absolutely gold. I would prefer 3 years if possible.

He'd get more money at that term imo. One or two years at that price is my guess.

 

[Henrik To Daniel]

Two year deal worth 2.4M would be good

Where is that guy that said Tanev should be traded for Hemsky?

 

[Barney Gumble]

As long as it isn't Cody's dad.

This season, more than any upcoming season, the Canucks really need to pinch pennies, so I think they'll go short term with Tanev to keep the cap hit down.

Why?

Is 3 buying a UFA year? Real question, as I'm not sure.

Tanev isn't getting extended for more money than Karl "plays against top lines" Alzner.

We all love Tanev, but he has no leverage.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This has to be cheap because of the cap concerns.

So why are they negotiating then? QO the kid at under $1m and be done with it.

There's still the offer sheet issue looming. That's Tanev's leverage right now.

Players Tanev's age get paid some for potential on contracts longer than a year or two. He doesn't have leverage to get a lot of money, but he can ask for a shorter contract to prove himself.

Isn't arbitration an option for the Canucks? Tough to see Tanev winning given bridge contracts handed out recently to better players.

 

[NoShowWilly]

3 years 1.4

102 NHL games (10 of them in the playoffs).

2 goals, 10 assists.

3rd pair dman.

Who the hell is going to overpay that on an offersheet?

Tanev isn't arbitration eligible, and he doesn't make enough to qualify for club elected arbitration anyway.

Doesn't really take an overpayment. Even a $2 million/year offer sheet puts the Canucks in a tough situation with respect to the cap, and Tanev is definitely worth that right now in terms of his on-ice value.

4 year deal 1.65m
