Value of: 29-31 year old 1st line Center to the Vancouver Canucks

[GJB]

I don't think 29-31 is specific enough.

I think they need a player 30.5'ish

 

[McMatthews]

JVR + Bozak + Polak/Hunwick(if you want)
For
Tanev + Tryamkin + Burrows (cap)

Canucks can roll a top line of JVR-Bozak-Eriksson, followed by Sedins
Leafs can stick Tanev with Rielly on the top pair, and Tryamkin with Zaistev on 2nd pairing. (Gardiner+Carrick on 3rd)

They want one of Marner or Nylander for Tanev. LOL.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Vancouver should not be giving up prospects to sign older players.

They should not be in win now mode.

Ouch. I'm a leafer. .. but no. Van would get bent over bad in this scenario.

This is the worst thread I've ever seen, even if you acknowledge it isn't the move they should be making. They do not have the assets to acquire a 1C in his prime, and they do not have the assets to win a cup even with a 1C being added. Their prospects are crap, their team is crap and old, the only answer is to rebuild immediately and never look back.

Lol at least with a username like that. You have to assume it's a terrible attempt at trolling.
It's nothing compared to users like McMatthews and Doug Gilmore who stand behind their claims with vigor.
I'm still laughing at the Zaitsev is better than Tanev claims with 9 games in the NHL when Tanev was producing his results from day 1 which start in the Canucks run to the finals and the biggest stage in professional sports.
So far a Leafs team brimming with young talent still can't win more games than the Vancouver Canucks who've scored the least, led the least amount of time in a game or even led in a game the least amount of times.

23 pages of JVR for Tanev proposals and they still think it's a quality deal to trade a top pairing defender for a second line LW.

Whats going on with all those terrible Vancouver proposals?

 

[pierre gagnon*]

krejci for tanev, starting point not sure but may be reasonable

Devils got Hall for Larsson. Nylander looks to be awesome I agree wouldn't trade him but Marner hasn't done anything yet. Hall is better then Marner and Tanev better then Larsson so only reasonable to assume Tanev better then Marner? I'm not saying do or not do as I'd keep Marner to but it's not lop sided in one way or another. There is a reason Leafs want Tanev he makes players around him better defensively.

Leafs should keep building slowly they have a nice group of young stars but don't think there all stars already there not. Tanev is a very valuable piece and would take a very big price to pry away.

Are you saying Tanev is better than Larsson?

Because he surely is not.

Yes I am. It's all subjective however so choose not to agree. Tanev is very under rated he'll never be a 1 because of lack of offense but he makes a great number 2 and makes everybody partnered with him better.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

What has Benning and co done to indicate they're willing to mortgage the future to win now? They've specifically said they will not be doing that, and haven't done that.

They've signed eriksson and Miller. Good or bad, they didn't give anything up making those moves. Other than that, they've given up picks for young reclamation projects in similar age ranges, or traded prospects for prospects.

This entire thread is out to lunch.

And worst prospect pool in the league? Lol. Get real.
