Quoting: Tmclean64
Not 100% convinced on that but time will tell. I dont think Tanev is worth a first even half retained without the necessity of Beauvilier being in the deal.
Tanevs No trade List is apparently built to keep him in Canada limiting Calgarys options. Edm is capped out and currently not in the position to buy, MTL isnt a buyer, Peg could be on the list as they are for most. So basically leave T.O and Van. Would be suprised to see them fetch more than Beauvillier, Woo and a First.. Thats a haul for an aging Pk specialist. Im not convinced Allvin goes this route anyway, I think they'll find a way to open up cap and sign Bear.
Depends what happens and how close VAN thinks to being able to actually take a run, but I’d just wait and try to sign him as a Free Agent if so were VAN
EDM & TOR on the other hand are in more of a Win Now mode. TOR could look to sign Tanev to a Team Friendly Home Town Discount, which would alleviate the sting of the price it will cost to acquire him this season
EDM has far more appealing Trade Assets and we would be fine to take Ceci back as a replacement player and guy we can flip for more assets next season, so they’re definitely in it
I’m sure Tanev would have no problem going to the States for a few months to play for a contender and try to win the cup either. SEA to play with his brother, NJD, PIT or hot destinations like VEG, TBL, FLA & LAK all have their appeal
When Healthy, not only is Tanev a fantastic Shot Blocking PK Specialist, but he’s one of the best skating and smartest shut down d-men in the league who can relive Stars like McDavid from the puck or steer the play away from them
Given the amount of Demand, I’m confident Tanev will bring back a great return, just like Ben Chiarot and others have
