Doc doing everything he can to discredit an important contributor to the Canucks blue line just because he personally doesn't want to resign him no matter how good a potential new deal may be.

I "discredited" Tanev??

UMMMM. All I did was correctly point out that he is Canucks' 4th best dman.

(in response to the two gomers saying he's 2nd-best)

I "don't want to re-sign Tanev to any contract no matter what"?

UMMMM. I'm on record (a few times) as being good with re-signing him 3-4 years at under $5M-per.

I'll ask you the same question I asked that other gomer:

If you think Tanev is better than Edler... and you like Edler's contract... I guess you want to re-sign Tanev to $6.5M-per?

THINK ABOUT IT

After Cholla rudely derailed another thread,maybe some folks can offer an opinion of what to do on the back end. I’m probably not bringing back Tanev because of cost, age and durability. They have three old guys on the D now. He’s a good player but his health is a wildcard and he isn’t getting any younger.

I’d let Stecher walk unless he signs a deal for like say...1.5. Otherwise he can beat it. I let Fantenberg walk.

Sign the Russian if he wants to come back. Go sign a cheaper UFA to replace Tanev. He might not be quite as good but he may be able to give you 17-18 min of good hockey.

Improvements from Hughes and Tryamkin will also help. And hopefully Edler and Myers don’t regress too badly. And make room for a kid. One of Brisebois, Juolevi, Woo or Ratbones. Benn is a 7/8 guy

I still try and re-sign Tanev for 3 years at the same money. I really like one of those options you listed in Joel Edmunson. C.H probably resign him though. We need at least one, preferably two hard nosed stay at home types that can smash when called for.
I am very concerned that Edler may have a tough time winding it up again after what looks to a long break. never know, he could conceivably
hang em up.
I admired the way Stecher ate up minutes for a couple of years but he's completely out of sync mentally, i.e not reading plays well at all with
the lesser role. Don't see the point in resigning.
Rathbone needs more time. Juolevi has to try and make the leap soon. We pray Tryamkin is for real. That's the big addition to the 20/21 season,
if all goes well.
Stay the **** away from Tyson Barrie. ..............Sure will be great when som damn ice is available for players to practice!
To be honest, most of them still sound pretty nervous in these video interviews.

I think we eventually see a big trade for a good young D-man involving either or of Demko or one of the zillion right wingers if we sign Toffoli. If we sign Markstrom you know we are trading Demko because of the expansion draft

Could be. They do have the most depth organizationally on the wing. Either way they will need an overhaul back there due to the simple fact they only have 4 guys signed to a contract next season.

I believe the Canucks would like to sign Tanev but got a feeling that signing Markstrom is priority to them, that’s when the dominos tip. It’s either Tanev or the cheaper option in Tryamkin who can play the right side and sign Toffoli

The big right wing trade won’t happen until Podkolzin arrives about the time Lind is knocking on the door. Same time we trade Demko

I would say thats pretty close to how the canucks see it too. It makes the most sense but is there room for Toffoli? He wont come cheap but i can imagine Benning wouldnt want to have ponied up that much for 10 games and a weird circus playoff extravaganza

[Mickey107]

Was shitty how things have come down. The decision to sign Toffoli is a difficult one. We certainly saw the good stuff he''s capable of.
Was short though, and that's a problem for making a big financial commitment. We're tighter than a
Sorry, got off track again there. Take a look at all of it but focus on the the 15/16 and 18/19 seasons. Both 82 GP. I know it makes a difference who line mates are and where a team is at in the standings but F***.

I'm a bit dubious. Don't hate the idea though.

18/19 the kings were coached by Twitchstash McClipboard. Thats all you need to know

Not for sure. If Seattle goes for the veteran goalie (like Vegas) then they might by looking for one of our top six wingers..

That's actually a very good point.

Toffoli thrived with Carter and Pearson under a coaching system that was built on putting in the work on D and transitioning. Green has a similar approach when it comes to own zone responsibility and putting in the effort in the little things.

Did Titchy McLipfur even have a gameplan?

He won’t be as expensive as you think, he hasn’t put up that great of numbers prior to playing with petey and miller. He’ll get a slight raise but I really doubt he’ll get anything over 6 million.
