TSN: Stars are frontrunners for Chris Tanev

[Double Dion]

Stankoven and a 2nd!!!

Haha. I wish. You might get Stankoven if you sent Hanifin AND Tanev. Even then I doubt it.

So who is worth a 1st on Dallas besides Bourque.

 

[Frk It]

Why do people think a 34 year old defensive defenseman on an expiring contract is worth so much?

I like Tanev a good deal, but if you want a 1st rounder or one of my best prospects, you can keep him.

 

[InfinityIggy]

The way Dellys tires have been pumped lately I am going to go with 2nd + Dellandrea being the basis of the offer. 2nd + Dellandrea + 2025 3rd or something.

Seems pretty fair. Dellandrea fits Conroy's MO of "get young NHL body" and an additional 3rd answers the supposed "bidding war" that allegedly is going on for Tanev. Rumour is 2nd + guy is most of the offers.

That said 1st + Bourque, do not @ me.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If it doesn't include a a 1st It's not a great package which bodes well for trade prices.

Tanev is the #2 D man on the market with Hanifin obviously being the guy.

If Tanev doesn't get a 1st what chance does any rental outside of Hanifin have?

He can elevate basically any other dman into a second pairing guy or higher depending on how good they already are

Yeah, I guess Chiarot got moved for a 1st rounder, so there is a precedent for this. I just don't know I would give in to that demand. Guess it would depend on my team and what I felt they needed.

 

[shortfuze]

that's fine with me. would prefer a younger target for the Leafs.

Well as long as you’re ok with it.

Lost in the Ben Chiarot comp is Josh Manson going for a 2nd and a recent 2nd (Helleson) that same year. While David Savard went for a 1st in 2021, Brenden Dillon went for a 2nd and 3rd the year before.

Prices can vary. The league just may not value him highly, even if he’s the best in his class at his position.

A players value is based off of what a GM is willing to pay.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So where would Tanev play on Dallas? Would he be on the 2nd pair and Hakanpaa goes down to 3rd pair?

Depends what happens with Lundkvist when/if he gets back from injury. He was playing well.

Yeah. He’d be perfect for a team that has a really offensive dman that needs covered. He really covers for mistakes

Teams can't help themselves. When you're a playoff contender, you believe any hole filled pushes you one step closer to winning the cup. So you make those moves. Also, fans stick around. GM's don't. Some GM's try to save their job or don't care what happens when they're gone.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Stars fans: Why did Bichsel head back to Sweden? Seemed he was doing pretty good in AHL?

 

[Vitto79]

Lundkvist and a 3rd ?

 

[inxs]

My guest will be :

Bourque + Scott Reedy + Dadonov (salary dump) + 3e round 2026

 

[Czechboy]

I'm guessing blumel and a 3rd. I want Tanev badly for the oil but I don't think the ask is that big.

 

[bucks_oil]

I agree with you in principle.

Having said that, every year there are 2-3 teams where the timing of their window, needs and level of desperation merit the irrational behavior of actually paying up that 1st.

The unfortunate part is that my Oilers are one of those teams and even more unfortunate (as a fan) is that my GM is a rational man.

 

[starsfan86]

I’m fine with sending a 1st rounder. But, we are not trading Bourque or Bichsel for Tanev lol. Maybe one of them and a 1st for a signed Hanifin.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Stars fans: Why did Bichsel head back to Sweden? Seemed he was doing pretty good in AHL?

Best guess is that he was homesick. Didn't make much sense.

He dominated training camp/preseason and easily was going to be the first call-up. It definitely annoyed the Stars front office. He's gonna be a good one, though.

According to LeBrun, they're offering a package that doesn't include a 1st round pick

So all it takes is for one team to offer their 1st and then they become the front runner?

I prefer Bourque to a 1st honestly unless the 1st is top 15. That won't be available. Would you guys do Bourque for Tanev and a 2nd? You have drafted better in the 2nd round than the 1st somehow anyway...haha

Nope. I would rather keep Bourque and look elsewhere for a RHD. I think most stars fans are very high on Bourque. I would not move him for a rental.

Where are top 4 RHD exactly? There aren't any other ones. I'm not saying the Stars should do the deal. I'm just saying thinking you're just going to find one elsewhere is not realistic. 25 teams are looking for top 4 RHD.

True, there may not be one but does not mean Dallas should cave and give up Bourque for a rental. I have no problem moving Bourque but the return needs to come with more term and younger. 34 year old soon to be UFA does not get a Bourque level prospect.
