Player Discussion Chris Tanev, Pt. II

[VanJack]

I know it won't be a popular post given how Tanev and the Canucks have started the season, but if by some miracle he stays healthy, I'd still aggressively put him in play at the trade deadline. He'd definitely be of interest to a playoff team in the East --the Leafs?

He's a UFA on July 1st, and I suppose the Canucks could still sign him on 'the rebound'. But buyer beware. With all the injuries he's had, the over-30 version of Tanev might not be pretty.

Missed the part of the game where he was injured, anyone have a gif of what happened, all they said on the broadcast after was upper body.

Pretty bad, probably 2-3 months out

I don't think anyone has been able to identify a single moment as the cause of his injuries.

What happened?

 

[polarbearcub]

He skated this morning.... not playing . But good news

What happened?

Upper body injury

Upper body injury

It looks like Tanev hasn't missed too many games due to upper body injuries over the past 2 year so that bodes well?

having tanev block all those shots especpailly on the pk. going down and returning back in the next period "a warrior" but evenutally he'll break down.

Chris Tanev is a marvel of the modern world.

Chris Tanev is a marvel of the modern world.

He's 'a marvel' alright. It's a marvel that only 17 games in, and he hasn't yet had an injury that will keep him out a couple of months. But it's like'Russian Roulette' with Tanev right now. It's only a matter of time.

One of these days a shot will break his foot again, and that will be it. You can't fault his courage. But just once, I'd like to see him exercise some caution and just let the goalie stop the one-timers. You can't help the team rehabbing injuries for 20-30 games a season.

It's....incredibly stupid.

I mean, full credit to him and everything but good Lord this team manages every game like it's game 7 of the finals and then wonders in December why everyone is hurt.

He leaves the Chicago game after the first period. They have another game in Winnipeg the next day, some 1,000 KM away. Just let him have the day off. Honestly.

While I generally agree, I would have traded him last year or the one before when he had higher value.

That being said I think he has always had more value here than he would gain back in a trade.

I also really wonder what kind of return he would get at this point given his injury history?

A 2nd, 3rd?

 

[canuckfan75]

I wonder if he will get a extension

Because I'm a Canucks fan I know that Chris Tanev is a soldier, a warrior, a total badass who would play on crutches.

But if I wasn't a Canucks fan and I met Chris Tanev on the street and someone told me that he regularly fakes injuries at his workplace to get really strong drugs from his doctor I wouldn't be all that surprised.

What the f*ck is this post?

You've had some doozers in the past but this might just be your all time low one!

Really, you think Tanev is a drug addict? Or looks like one or talks like one????

 

[vancityluongo]

I think he might actually be David Booth.

Yeah.

Tanev definitely looks like a stoner.

I can totally see him taking the biggest and fattest rips from the bong.

Is he a puff puff pass type of guy?

I like to think he is.

 

[Jack Burton]

sorry Mrs Tanev

C'mon man!

How about you start going full Cherry and start all you posts with "you people " since you seem to have a such great read on people.

What’s the value in whatever this is supposed to be.. obstructing conversations that you aren’t even a part of? Are you trying to make yourself feel big when in fact you feel small?

The poster engaging him is almost totally incoherent so it kind of works.

I enjoy By Proxy engagement where I use the forum functionality as it is intended and I let Jack Burton do god's work.

 

[Nucker101]

I’d be disappointed if I find out Tanev wasn’t a stoner at this point.
