DrJockitch Posted Sunday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:41 PM This morning’s rumour is they are offering 4X$6M. If so good luck Chris. Huge respect for him as person and player but $6M is way too much as is 4 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes-tanev would be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if there are no penalties for him retiring early or he is comfortable moving to Robidas island, give him as much term as he wants. He is a true warrior and if that is what Q wants then give it to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM if tanev turns down dallas, and then turns down toronto when his biggest cheerleader in the league is there offering him absurd contracts, it can only be for one reason. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted Sunday at 03:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:56 PM Treliving has had eyes for Tanev since the executive left Calgary. Why wouldn't he? Tanev is precisely the type of heart-and-soul defender the Leafs should target. The right shot (and GTA product) can help stabilize a risk-taking lefty (ask Quinn Hughes), take on 18 or 19 minutes of tough defensive assignments, and busy himself with the unpleasant business of killing penalties, D-zone starts and eating three square meals of pucks a day. Health can be a concern for the 34-year-old veteran because he plays such a gritty, honest game. The catch here is twofold: (a) Tanev wants term, which is a risky proposition considering the wear on the player's tires, and (b) he has plenty of suitors (Dallas, Ottawa, Vancouver among them) which could drive up the price. After dealing for Tanev's rights Saturday, Treliving is said to be pressing the defenceman to sign a six- or seven-year deal with a friendly cap hit. Treliving tried trading for a Tanev-Zadorov package in the fall, when the six-foot-six Russian ended up in Vancouver. Again, the GM knows the player. Loves the player. Zadorov's superb performance in the playoffs (four goals, eight points in 13 games) only ratcheted up his stock ahead of his best chance to get paid. The Canucks would like to keep him. Is he not a Rick Tocchet type player? But Zadorov's asking price — $5 million times six years — is steep. We like the player. We'd like him a lot more if that price drops.

Tower102 Posted Sunday at 04:30 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:30 PM Leafs are going long term to get the cap down and assume he will be injured and they can put him on LTIR for the last 3 years of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted Sunday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:43 PM 1 hour ago, canucks curse said: I have a feeling tanev doesn’t want to play in TO money talks at his age . Rumour / Spec is Tanev to TO , on a 3 - 4m x 6 yr…. 34 yrs old > 40yrs old From what I understand that spreads the cap hit so it’s manageable, and if CT retires he still gets paid but it’s off the books ?? Isnt that Cap “circumventing” ? Isnt that why we were hit with Luongo’s Contract ? So if they get 3 years out of him he’s making 6-8 mil for 3 years of work.. Basically the money goes in the bank like a retirement package.. id sign that , who wouldn’t? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted Sunday at 10:10 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:10 PM 7 hours ago, Rip The Mesh said: My Gaud! Team-mates with pug face Austin! Yuck It's to get that AAV down as low as possible. Likely Tanev wants $5M x 4, so $20Mish. Toronto's offer is "minimum of 6 years"... which means they want the AAV down under $4M ($20 over 6 years = $3.33M AAV).
