Tanev is worth a late 1st-early2nd...that's it.
- LordHumungous

No he is not. He stays before that ever happens.

Hjalmarsson is nearly the identical player Tanev is, and was basically sold for pennies.

Called in a cap crunch. Just a minor detail u forgot lol

exactly. late 1sts or early 2nd round picks are nothing!
this team needs more prospects like boeser and demko. tanev should be traded for rebuilding type pieces.

There are 30 other teams out there lol. Top 4 d-men are at a premium, Stan didn't HAVE to deal exclusively with Arizona. WSH was in a cap crunch, and I think they got a great return shedding Johansson for a 2nd and 3rd round pick in 2018. Someone posted that WSH (despite their cap troubles) still has 7 or over 7 picks in each of the next 3 drafts. I totally get the influence, but how many teams have top 4 D set for next season. Maybe a handful.

Also trading with contenders was avoided & what return he could get.

there are sooo many variables that we could list off, its pointless. Contract, Age, Term, $, Defensive partners, Time on ice, teams cap situation/flexibility, etc etc etc. We could go on forever. My point was a direct comparison of player vs player, and how the Hjalmarsson trade, IMO, has decreased the value of Tanev (which is why we haven't seen a trade).

Only variable that applies IMO is we don't need to trade Tanev for cap reasons.
Hawks needed cap room & we need Tanev til a deal we like comes along, we can wait it out. Hawks were motivated sellers & we r not.

BoRing summer is ahead for us til camp starts i fear

It's the dog days of summer and your posting pic's of your pussies

That's not true at all - they got Murphy who was a 1st rounder and who Chicago believes is a great prospect that needs proper guidance, and that he has more potential. He didnt do to bad considering the fact that he's played his first 3 seasons for possibly the worst franchise in NHL history. And Daulphin, who split his year in the NHL/AHL, but put up 28pts in 38gms, and was a high 2nd rounder. Future, 3rd line center. However, a lot of people believe the hawks should've got more, but also factor in they were trading from a cap shedding place of weakness, and Arizona fleeced them a bit due to that.

I didn't know Murphy played for Vancouver

Yeah don't think we will have any more player moves or developments before camp. So are you good with these camp battles:

C: Hank, Bo, Sutter
C/W: Gagner, Granlund, Burmistrov, Chaput, Guance
RW: BB, JV, DD, Labate
LW: Danny, Sven, LE
LW/RW: Goldy, Rodin, Boucher, Molino
Forward Prospects with no NHL games: Dahlin, MacEwen, Palmu, Gadjovich, Lind

D: Edler, Tanev, Guddy, Hutton, Stecher, MDZ,
Bubble D: Biega, Wiercoch, Pedan, Macaneny
Prospects with no NHL games: OJ, Subban, Holm, Gunnersson, Chatfield, Brisboise, Candella, Brassard,

If someone was left out add them. So likes and/or comments on players going in to camp?

I don't see many battles. Roster is fairly set.
Kids go back to Jr. only OJ can impress.
BB makes the team & idk if Rodin will.

so you are a communist then.

Tyler Johnson 7yr 5mil per.....good deal? And what does that mean for Bo's contract?

I didn't know Murphy played for Vancouver

Arizona Coyotes 38 years, 2944 GP, 2817 PTS, .478 PTS%, 19 years in playoffs

Vancouver Canucks 47 years, 3656 GP, 3566 PTS, .488 PTS%, 27 years in playoffs

Both franchises are pretty stinky.
