Speculation: Where does Chris Tanev land?

[Fatass]

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

The radio guys in Vancouver are talking about Tanev signing in Pittsburgh too. I don’t see the fit in Pittsburgh though. Tanev needs to play with a dynamic partner, or he plays too much in his on end, takes too many hits (shot blocks) and gets injured. The guy is as tough as nails, and really smart, but unless he’s with a super partner it could be trouble.

If Toronto doesn't land Pietroangelo Tanev sounds like the perfect fit next to Rielly

110% agree. Toronto has great possession numbers too, so that’s probably the best fit for Tanev. Reilly might win the Norris playing with Tanev too.

Maybe Tanev can play with Marino, and we put Petterson with POJ/Ruhwedel/JJ

latest is pens looking hard at tanev...murray close to being dealt

 

[Bounces R Way]

A purely defensive defenseman entering his 30's with a very extensive injury history. He's good at what he does but I'd be wary of giving him a lot of term. I'd still guess he goes back to Van, losing him would not be good for their blueline at all.

I've soured on the idea. Too many injury troubles and coming of a really bad year.

 

[JAK]

Has there ever been a more obvious fit than Tanev in Toronto?

Yes, Vancouver, where he belongs.

You said this weeks ago

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I think Vancouver signs him and let's Markstrom walk as a UFA. Demko is ready in my opinion.

... but Tanev only has eyes for Vancouver

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Based on 4 playoff games?

He’s long been projected as a future starter. Obviously he’s still green but if they sign Markstrom they will lose Demko in the expansion draft.

 

[BWJM]

Canucks resign Tanev + try and retool the defense this off season is what I think will happen. Markstrom is likely moving on in my opinion.

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

And Leafs fans rejected him in all of those threads. Not good enough offensively for the mighty Leafs or something. Delusional bunch they are

Was never a talent issue it was an injury issue, didn't want to pay huge assets for an injury prone D man.

But he didn't have those issues this year and now he's a free agent so he won't cost premium assets

While Tanev is no longer the defensive rock he once was, I wouldn't say he had a "really bad year." He is still a very dependable #4, although he is in his 30s, has a very long list of past injuries, and plays a very punishing (on the receiving end) style. It is very risky to give him more than 2 years. Of course he'll get more, but the team signing him to term will be sweating bullets for pretty much the whole duration. The guy is a warrior though, he'll try to play through as much as humanly possible.

Laine to Carolina.

 

[Fig]

Tanev is another player I'd be interested in nabbing from Vancouver if Brodie doesn't re-sign with us. I bet Vancouver fans would be livid in that case.

Gio - Anderson
Hanifin - Tanev
Kylington - X
Valimaki

Tanev would be a perfect partner for Hanifin. You guys get Tanev and I see Hanifin having a breakout offensive season.

You have ZERO idea what you’re talking about. Move along

He's 4 good playof games and not even a full seasons worth of regular season games

Ummm, Tanev just had his best most productive seasons in 5+ years.. not sure what you're talking about..

His ruggedized style of play will slow him down sooner rather than later..

You sure about that there will be a lot of quality goalies available for example they could have Bishop and one of the Columbus goalies, or maybe Quick and Marazek

Demko isn't guaranteed to go
