Grossly overpaying for an unretained tanev jets never do this

If the Flames don't make the playoffs, I hope they make this or a similar trade

I like Tanev but a 1st and Heinola? That's a gross overpay.

Retention could and probably would be there. i just have no idea what that would be. I don't think it is an overpay. Sure he is a rental, but does any one in Winnipeg at this point think Heinola has a future here? Tanev is a good solid right shot dman that the Jets so desperately need. He is also a physical minute muncher that could bring big dividend to the D.

It is a lot, but I think that is where his value will be.

Agreed, it is. The way I look at is. Does he make us better for a playoff push? Is he considerably better than one of Schmidt, Heinola or Stanley. I would say, much better. I think he is going for a first either way. Do we want to pay a pick which will probably be i the 20-25 range. Sadly, I don't see Heinola working out here, so use him as currency if you can.

No thanks… for that price we can get better, and Tanev isn't a need.. we need a top pairing RHD

That's likely what Calgary fans would want, but just like Zadorov, what they want and what Tanev actually returns are probably very different.

I am by no means a Flames fan. But I do believe Tanev is just what the Jets need and a high 1st is not that much to give up for him. I have been a Moose and Jets season ticket holder for many years. The hype around Heinola is grossly exaggerated. He is not a good dman thus why he hasn't made the team yet. He may become one, but he is not there.

I for one would be upset if he goes for this and we do not even try. While he doesn't put up huge points. The guy is a warrior out there and never quits on a play. I think that is the type of player we need for a deep run in the Central.

5 years ago, Tanev might have been worth that, now he's not. I don't know what some fans see in him. He's not that player from 5 years ago anymore. He's an average 2nd pair guy with not a lot of tread left and isn't a difference maker as demonstrated in Calgary.

I'd take him if the price was reasonable, but for what you're talking I hope the Jets pass. The team that does pay that, will regret it undoubtedly.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect yours. In my opinion, I have watched a few Flames games, not many, but have been impressed with his never quitting on a play and always getting in the dirty areas. That is what I think the Jets need. Maybe the price is high, maybe not. I honestly don't know value of any player as the market always shifts.
