:thumbs:

And time for my next prediction Tanev 4 years @ $3M per - limited no trade clause (5 teams he won't waive to)
or NO ntc at all.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Is Tanev even eligible for a NTC?
The only HW the Canucks need

And why would Benning give him one? He's either a Canuck, or he doesn't play NHL hockey. If someone wants to give him an offer sheet we wouldn't match (say 7 years @ $6M per) I'd take the 1st + 2nd + 3rd round picks and say thank you very much.

Tanev strikes me as someone who values himself highly. There's nothing wrong with that, but we could be looking at a player that wants to sign only until he's UFA-eligible. It was a battle last time getting him signed, and it's shaping up that way again this summer. If that's the case I'd be looking to deal him before his next contract is up. He's not a franchise d-man.
