Player Discussion Chris Tanev, Pt. II

[Slapshot_11]

I want Benning out as much as anyone.... but four years for Tanev is too much

Yea.. better give guys like beagle, rousell 4 years and myers more

Lmao what a joke

[Snatcher Demko]

Oh this one hurts. But it was the right decision to let him go. I fear what kind of knee jerk signing we will see Benning do. At the least we should circle back to the durable Stecher.

Little disappointed we lost Tanev for what Flames gave him. However, if we manage to grab Pietangelo now with dropping Tanev, Stecher and Toffoli I'll gladly be happy. Seems like Pietrangelo overplayed his hand and not many teams left that can even afford him now.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Tanev now joins the "Fromer Canucks" thread. Only Elder remains from the 2011 glory days. :c

 

[VanJack]

From the Flames standpoint, they've basically swapped out T.J. Brodie for Tanev at slightly less money. I'm not really sure this is an upgrade for them, particularly with Tanev's injury history.

But if nothing else, it'll make next season's Canucks-Flames games a lot more fascinating.

 

[krutovsdonut]

we need some tribute videos for these guys.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Dhaliwal says cCanucks only offered 2×4 mil.... I trust him as a source.

Most Flames fans are ripping this as well...with the loss of Brodie

 

[Jovofan]

Man this is a gut punch. I really wanted Tanev back here. This is what we get for signing plugs like Beagle and co.

And Delorme.



Yay.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Who plays D for the Canucks next year?

 

[Oliewud]

Wasn't newell brown our 2011 PP coach too?

 

[Grumbler]

No surprises, just part of the expected outcome of the roster getting worse the next year. Good job Benning.

 

[I am toxic]

Because you're me, right?

If you have been following my posts, you would have known that I wanted Tanev back. I would have taken him at 4 years and 4.5 without a problem. Do you hazard a guess why we couldn't sign him for that contract? His name starts with a J and its ends with a im.

Losing our premiere defenseman is awful for this team. This guy was literally our rock, matching up against the top lines in the NHL and succeeding while bleeding blue and giving it his all. This motherf***er has NEVER hesitated to block shots for this team, and we cast him aside like a piece of trash to sign real mentors like Ferland, Roussel and Beagle

And Gagner, and Sutter, and . . . and . . . and someone else I think, I keep forgetting . . .

 

[sticknrink]

This team isn't making the playoffs next season. Tanev leaving is a really big hole on defense.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Guess Myers is now a top pairing Dman by default now

If you asked me if I would rather have 30 year old Tyler Myers for 6 million or 30 year old Chris Tanev for 4.5 million, I'd take Tanev 10 times out of 10.

The only real issue is health.

 

[iceburg]

Prediction...Tanev signs for 3x$3.7m

 

[carrotshirt]

Thanks for the hard miles, Tanev! Lots of good memories. What a warrior!

 

[mathonwy]

Edler is not going to take this well.

Edler might do a 15-16 Hammer next season.

Am I overly pessimistic?

Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Farewell tanman

 

[PavelBure10]

This one does hurt, but like Marky I'm happy for Tanev to sign a nice deal, long term. Markstrom and Tanev deserved this, unfortunately with all of the shitty contacts we have, they didn't fit in our plans. Our loss is Calgary's gain, and I wish them nothing but the best.

 

[DS7]

This hurts, but i also wonder how Tanev will fare healthwise. I think being paired with Hughes helped him tremendously since Quinn just took control of possession and lessened the amount of time Tanev needed to block shots and lay the body out.

 

[GAMO1992]

Hey guys, Flames fan coming in peace. Just wanted to know what we're getting in Tanev? I know he's a more defensive guy, but that's about it.

 

[Frank Garrett]

Little disappointed we lost Tanev for what Flames gave him. However, if we manage to grab Pietangelo now with dropping Tanev, Stecher and Toffoli I'll gladly be happy. Seems like Pietrangelo overplayed his hand and not many teams left that can even afford him now.

Dude, don't get our hopes up.

 

[Nuckles]

Thank god they got rid of this locker room cancer. The Canucks are better off with character guys like Eriksson, Sutter, Ferland, Beagle, Roussel, and Myers.
