I wonder if playing on bad ice can be spun as a good thing if it means making you a better passer? The secret to Henrik's saucer success is bad ice, just figured it out.
It would be awesome to sign Tanev in the offseason and bring him home to retire as a Canuck. Until this season, the bad ice wasn't as much of an issue because of how bad the team has been for years. I remember there being some bad ice during some of the West Coast Express years too, when they decided to turn the rink temperature down to improve ice quality, but then turned the heat back up because the general public whined that it was too cold at an ice rink.
Offer Tanev $3 million, 5 years sunset contract. Worst case scenario, at year 4/5… he'll be a safe bottom-pairing defenseman to help ease a prospect into the NHL.
Tanev is very mid. Why would we sign a guy that has played his first full season at 35? Tanev is hurt all the time and we have enough cap problems. Find another story.
Ooooo Drancer. You are usually very astute imo. More intelligent to resign the players that gave us the boost this year. Tanman will have to go elsewhere.
No no and no. He was too comfortable here and far too injury prone. Did he ever make an entire season? With the Canucks or in his career? If your going after a puck absorbing d-man get someone younger and cheaper.
Previous 2 seasons, the beasts were in the Eastern Conference. The survivor went on to get beat by the Western finalist. Will the reverse happen this post–season?

Tanev, yes. At the right price.

Are the Canucks getting $92.8 Million worth from Petey?…… He's got 6 goals in his last 20 games.
Remember we dont have Joshua and demko. When we do, theres the notch weve been looking for.
Watching Filip Forsberg @ 8.5 mil seems like the steal of the century compared 11.6 petey

Would be ironic that Canucks sign Tanev after he wins cup with Dallas.
You sign Tanev if you trade Hronek.
Sign Tanev, trade Hronek
High level contributions from Myers? Ffs you gotta be kidding

What does drance know anyway. Guy was so against the Hronek trade
Straight up NO !!!
Drance is awful and I can’t believe someone actually writes this guy a paycheque .

If Tanev agrees to two years at maybe $5-6mil per season then sure. Else if he wants 5-6yr deal then probably no…
Feels like the Canucks are already eliminated and the playoffs havn’t even started! All this talk of free agency lol
Maybe instead of some ridiculous private restaurant they put in. Spend money on something useful Get the ice fixed.
Holy s- he’s a dinosaur..not to mention expensive. Shut the “Remember When” book and move on.
