Tanev isn't a legit top pairing guy. Canucks have no real D to speak off at the moment (thanks MG), so this is what we're left with.

By trading Tanev for the 4th overall, we are getting back a guy who would be a legit top pairing winger (Tkachook) and that makes sure we get the guy (dubois) that will be our future 1C and not risk someone else picking him up.

Nux can sign UFA dmen for less than Tanev's cap hit who can provide more offense. If Tanev's value is high trade him to maximize the return.

There is no Dman in this draft that is as good as Tanev right now.

Go go dancers in the stands

Are we still packaging McCann with the 5OA for three 3rd round picks?

McCann for a top four dman according to Botch, if they can draft Dubois.

Don't know where everyone will fit. Sven Rodin Cagguila could all be battling for the same spot

He doesn't report, he projects his own speculation & wants. He really needs to go work for Entertainment Tonight.

Now this sounds silly but I'll play along.
Can you please please please name us 1 RHD UFA that we can sign for less money then Tanev who will provide better or at least as good of play.
If you were talking edler and signing hamhuis or Yandle I could dig what you are saying...... but Ufa RHD.... nope not happening, sorry

Who the hell would buy one of those home scoreboards? Can you imagine the looks if you ask your friends over for a party to watch a clock on the wall? Why would you pay money for that?

Its all about marketing for sure. I bought one of those Red Lights as soon as they came out, then realized I dropped $200-$250 on a light... I guess its cool if your team scores a lot, sadly mine is set up for the Canucks

I've also been resisting the marketing ploy to splurge on one of these bad boys, at least this one's got more functions : http://shop.budweiser.ca/products/bud-e-fridge

montreal is willing to give up subban for some sort of package for the 4oa then Edmonton should take it and run.

That is the single greatest thing I have ever seen

From last blog... I was out of commission and couldn't reply... battling cold and flu...

i'd trade Tanev and sign free agents to fill out hte roster...

Edler-UFA
Hutton-Tryamkin (Maybe Hamhuis at a much lower cap hit)
Sbisa-Biega

Trade Tanev (plus CBJ second, and a late round pick or a warm body) at his peak value and get the 4th overall pick from Edmonton...
- kaptaan

Tanev is the last Dman we can or should trade.. We lack RHD so bad and there's nothing to replace him.. Even if he isn't a top pairing D man who replaces him there if we did that? Would be a train wreck

I sure hope so! Quantity > quality! Bart * 3 > Edler

Any one know of a college player to make a significant impact in the NHL?
Curious to know if players coming out of college actually amount to anything. Thanks.
