I assume that it is a NHL/AHL contract...

#BreakingNews #News #NHL #Canucks sign Chris Tanev, hearing it's 3-4 years at AVV $1.8M per. #NSS

Don't know how credible that is...

[tantalum]

NHL Sources Say is pretty much the anti-credible. Pay no attention to what that guy says. He's never broken anything.

But there is a first time for everything.

[SKYO]

Yup nobody legitimate is saying anything about those unreliable sources.

They just scammed us hockey hungry starved fans.

[Rumsfeld]

Yeah. Damn, I'd give Skyo's rusty musket for something to just happen.

Nothing but silence in contract talks between the #Canucks and rfa defenseman Chris Tanev.

I know that there is no hurry to sign Tanev right now. However, I just don't understand what Tanev is waiting for. He has zero bargaining power. Why can't he sign a bridge contract and shows what he can do offensively?

Good. One less distraction. Always a good sign when your draft picks sign early and easy. No Lindros's here.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Swedish goalie, Jesper Erikson, a newly signed Canuck prospect? And if so, 'BUMMER'.

Those are all underage kids, not drafted yet.

Canucks signed Joacim Eriksson who, as far as we know, has two non-broken legs.

How many goalies with the last name of Erikson in...Sweden.... ok.... thanks Aaron

107, according to elite prospects, but some of those have retired.

Too funny. Thanks for that, Mr. Per Smith!
