Speculation: Where does Chris Tanev land?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So it sounds like Toffoli is probably staying in Vancouver, if that's the case Chris Tanev is likely hitting the market so that begs the questions where does he go?

I'd like to see him in Toronto but it sounds like they want Pietrangelo, if they don't get Pietrangelo I hope the Leafs do target Tanev.


I also wonder if the Jets will target him, or thr Blues if they do lose Pietrangelo?

I think there will be a big market for Tanev

Unless Vancouver brings in a Carlo type in a trade, it's hard to imagine Benning lets him walk after how successful that pairing was this year.

It's not up to Benning

Tanev wants to stay, so in a way, it is. He just needs to clear the cap space.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Hughes and Tanev pairing was solid. Brought the best out in each other. So can only see him hitting the market if Canucks don’t clear any cap space or bring in a younger (higher ceiling) tanev type...

Pittsburgh is apparently trying to clear cap space to sign him, and based on them having his brother already, I could easily see Pittsburgh as the frontrunner if they can clear the cap space needed to sign Tanev.

Another Tanev to Toronto thread, has there ever been another player to team topic that has gotten so many threads over the years??

 

[Peter Griffin]

At this point it seems more likely that Markstrom walks and Tanev stays. I think Vancouver would like to find a younger, healthier version of Tanev but failing that I think they can come to an agreement.

tanev will give the canucks time to clear cap for him, but not long enough that it would screw him over. its clear canucks are his first choice. he could wait 2 weeks into free agency easily, unless someones stupid and offers him 6mil

Sabres are going to hand out a big contract to get Tanev, so he can mentor Dahlin.

A big contract despite the rumours they’re going to have an internal cap of around $70M?

Okay, if not Buffalo then Ottawa will give Tanev big money to mentor Chabot.
Dahlin deserves a partner like Tanev. So does Chabot.

 

[WeWentBlues]

What kind of contract will he be looking for?

I don’t think the Sens are throwing around cash this off-season either...

Pretty sure that this Tanev 2.0 would be outside of Vancouvers price range tho.

Possibly. Apparently Vancouver/Boston have been taking trade and I’d imagine one of the names being discussed was Brandon Carlo. He’d be an excellent long term replacement depending on acquisition cost.

 

[Fatass]

What kind of contract will he be looking for?

With money being so tight right now, like all UFAs, Tanev will be going where he gets the most money.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Tanev contract is a tough one though.. with his injury riddled past it’d assume he would be more focused on term. However, I am sure money plays a part too. Probably somewhere in the $4.5-5M per.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Depends. If the Canucks can’t sign Markstrom then Tanev stays. If they come to an agreement with Markstrom then I think a lot of teams will be interested in him. An ideal partner for a young star D just like he was with Hughes this year.

He would make sense for Buffalo but they haven't been in the playoffs since 2011, that's a hard sell

 

[Headshot77]

Hopefully the Penguins dump Jack Johnson with Murray in a deal and we sign Tanev to something not silly.

Another Tanev to Toronto thread, has there ever been another player to team topic that has gotten so many threads over the years??

He mentioned two other teams and the title literally asks where people think he will land, which is opening it up to any opinion or direction. Stop being so sensitive.

Just because Toronto is mentioned, and they should be they NEED a RD, or 2 doesn't make it a Tanev to the Leafs thread, if it was I wouldn't have mentioned the Jets or Blues

Has there ever been a more obvious fit than Tanev in Toronto? There have been lots of threads because, unless and until Kyle Lowry learns how to play ice hockey, Chris Tanev is exactly what the Leafs have needed (and haven't had) for the last five years.

 

[BCNate]

Tanev will re sign in Vancouver. He wants to be there, Hughes wants him to be there. He is a great fit with that team.
