Provost Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 14 minutes ago, Combover said: Get rid of Myers bring in tanev. better cap better player rid of one more JB mistake. If we need to free up cap, that is how we do it. Myers at his best has been an average D man, and he has long stretches where he isn’t at his best. It is a repeater pattern that he can do OK in a sheltered 3rd pairing with the right partner, and actually be pretty good in that role. If you move him into the top 4 and don’t have the right partner, then he completely falls apart. That was the case before he came to Vancouver as well. I don’t feel like having Tyler Minors in the playoffs again. We have enough size and snarl on the back end, it would do better to have a Tanev type of guy who can move the puck and defend. Paired with either Cole/Soucy-Tanev pairing would be an excellent shutdown against the opposition and let you play Hughes-Hronek in more advantageous minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tanev & Risto could work, both defensive first guys. Hughes - Hronek Soucy - Risto Zadorov - Tanev Juulsen Looks damn good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zduck14 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think Edmundson, Schultz or Scandella would be decent depth options for this year. As for Tanev, I think he's a perfect add for next year. On a 2 or 3 year deal to play on the 2nd pair with Zadorov it would allow the Canucks to develop Willander slowly but as early as next year. Playing next to a defensive stud like Soucy is almost the perfect scenario for this too. Next year: Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Tanev Soucy-Juulsen 25-26: Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Tanev Soucy-Willander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Today showed why we need more depth on D. No Soucy and Zadorov and our D becomes quite thin. When Myers is asked to play top minutes he really struggles. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying for a while move Myers for some minor assets, use that cap and some assets to add Tanev and Bjugstad. Tanev + Bjugstad >>>> Myers Mikheyev, Pettersson, Lindholm Bjugstad, Miller, Boeser Joshua, Blueger, Garland Hoglander, Suter, Lafferty PDG/Aman Hughes, Hronek/Tanev Cole, Tanev/Hronek Soucy, Zadorov Friedman, Juulsen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we retained salary and then the flames would get a guy in myers they could retain and flip for even more assets. It would be nice to add a top six winger aswell as a stable reliable Dman Doubt Myers is being resigned haven’t even heard the suggestion that they’ve contacted his agent. but tanev I could see here for a few years. we will see what PA can get done with the limited cap he’s been pretty impressive so far.

But the Empties are saying we would need to use a first (2025 or trade Zadorov to TO for theirs?) and a decent young player, like Woo. Z to TO for 2024 first TO 2024 first + Woo for Tanev. And we extend Tanev and trade for his brother too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Brandon's most recent contract was a JR signing too. Edited February 12 by Zombieksa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If Reily is gone for 6+ games with suspension the Leafs might get real desperate for Tanev. They are currently only holding on to a wildcard spot and there are a lot of teams in the rear view mirror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Brandon Tanev has one more year of $3.5 mil. We don't have cap space to keep him unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm aware of the cap space gymnastics that would need to take place, and someone like Mik would have to be moved to make it work. That said I love sibling stories so dare to dream! is my mantra. Both of them are like dogs on bones.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see Tanev coming back to Van in the off-season for a 2-3 year, as long as it's reasonable. Not sure how this management team will work through the cap. It's going to be really tight. Like some have said, I think that third line that's been sooo good for us this year. I don't think anyone except Garland, comes back.

Canucks have to figure out their Cap for next year and make it work out. If he could be had as UFA, sure. But we already gave up a 1st for a more needed piece in Lindholm, giving up another would be reckless. I know folks are excited but we need to balance trading and utilizing our top picks. We need to continue using 1st round picks ourselves regularly, so as to acquire talents like Willander and Lekkerimaki. Odds are we won't be drafting high enough to get a Willander level talent again for a while, but as players like Hughes, Boeser, Pettersson, and Demko take on larger deals being able to integrate cost effective RFA's and players on ELC's will be all the more important. Drafting and development will be key going forward if we are to maintain a sustainable competitive window. Throwing away 1st and 2nd round picks regularly like Toronto will contribute to a dearth of top tier prospects. Drafting isn't the only way to acquire young talent, you can sign uni guys and whatnot, but it's the best way to do so. The best way to acquire top tier talent is to draft and develop it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
