Rumor: Leafs agressively after Tanev

[Yamazaki]

You guys have been brainwashed about tanev. He’s a good player but he’s playing less and less games every year and he can’t be relied upon to stay healthy. Why do we need to give up assets and pray he does something he’s never done in his career and stay healthy?

I'd like to think the price will reflect that, even if rival fans think otherwise.

He's really good when he's healthy.

I thought Tanev re-confirmed he is not interested in waiving his NTC?

Edler has. Nothing on Tanev....does he even have trade protection?

Right, it was Edler. Sorry I just see all the Canucks as one singular suck. Yes, I know they are not ALL the same.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

If we can get Tanev for Rasanen + Bracco I do that in a second.

No matter how injury prone he is.

I’d even add a conditional 2nd if he plays X amount of games.

A lot of Vancouver fans can be tough to deal with but there are some good ones too. Huge divide on opinion with Tanev amongst the Leaf fan base and then with what VAN/TOR would pay for Tanev.

I like Tanev and i'd like him on the team at the right price.

8 teams to which he cannot be traded.
We may be on it.

 

[jaric1862]

Highest I’d do is our 1st this year, 2nd next year and then maybe a korshkov/Rasanen level prospect but that’s pushing it.

I was coming to confirm that. So that adds some intrigue. He's signed for 2 more years @ 4.45. Not a bad cost.

But I would hate to see us overspend. We have an abundance of wingers, so clearly that is what goes back (plus whatever picks make sense).

No idea why a Toronto kid that sees a great future in Toronto with no RHD that would stop him from getting big minutes, would put Toronto in his bottom 8.

 

[TOGuy14]

Would like Tanev on our team but his injury history scares me. Would not put Kappy or Lil in the package. 1st +2nd + Bracco / Nielsen

The injury issue coupled with the prices I hear make this a non sensical deal if you ask me.
Now, if the cost is much less, it may be worth it.

BTW, he's a TO boy so it's likely, we aren't on his list.

 

[PromisedLand]

Tanev is overrated.

Lily, Kappy and the 1st are strictly off the books as far as I am concerned

 

[Yamazaki]

When he’s healthy.... his body is breaking down on him. He’s playing less and less games every year , he’s hurt every part in his body.

If you’re going to spend a 1st and top prospects like some are suggesting I say you go for someone more healthy.

He probably wouldn't. But there have been locals who've said they don't want the fish bowl lifestyle.

 

[ObscureAlien]

not down with trading a 1st, kappy, or lilypad

 

[Muston Atthews]

As long as the price isn’t more than a 1st + prospect not named Kapanen, Liljegren or Dermott then I’m fine with it.

Is this someone we can rely and count on? I’m not saying he’s a bad player just wayyyyyv too much risk

 

[PlietscherDassel]

I would do a 2nd i guess but thats not enough for Vancouver to trade him. Therefore i wouldnt be willing to give up a realistic return for him.
I dont think we should trade good prospects or a 1st at this point anyways. Be patient and develop your own prospects until the team is one move away from being a contender.

I don't disagree but maybe the price will be a lot more reasonable than you seem to think to reflect those injuries.

Maybe Vancouver will sell as high as possible before the value fades... I'm not sure.

They might as well wait until the summer though.

I wouldn’t do a 1st + Johnson either

But would do 1st + Bracco/Rasanen/Leivo

 

[Gabriel426]

Right, it was Edler. Sorry I just see all the Canucks as one singular suck. Yes, I know they are not ALL the same.

That's just rude. I would love to have Boeser and Bo on the Leafs instead of JVR and Bozak.

You mean the guy who's currently out for another month with a broken leg?

 

[Martin Skoula]

It's game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, Tanev just spent the last 6 games injured from blocking a shot. Doctors say he's good to go, Tanev says he's good to go.

Do you put a rusty Tanev in and mess up 3 pairings worth of chemistry?
