Since Vancouver seems interested in Evander Kane maybe a larger deal between the Nucks and Sabres is doable. Tanev and Hansen for Kane and Bogosian.
I'd probably shoot myself if the Canucks made this deal.

To Colorado: James VanRiemsdyk
To Vancouver: Tyson Barrie
To Toronto: Christopher Tanev
Deal? Great, thanks!
If the Avs were OK with JVR for Barrie, then Vancouver doesn't need to be involved. We will just do a deal with Colorado and keep Barrie.
Well, it is a Tanev thread, and Vancouver won't do JVR for Tanev - so I though that I'd involve Vancouver in the proposal. Anyway, I'm more fond of Tanev than I am of Barrie. Would be a better fit in our core too, if you ask me. A defensive #2 is something that we're lacking, and there are no prospects in our possession, that would fill the hole in the near future.
As some people here have said, it is funny how many Tanev topics we've had in the last few months, especially after the Larsson trade. Not a slight against Tanev, but it is funny.
Well many Canucks fans don't want Kane period because of his ongoing legal/behavioral problems - but let's say he had been trouble free since the trade to Buffalo, Kane and Bogosian is fair value for Tanev and Hansen.

I'm not knocking Tanev at all, been a fan for a while. I wouldn't move Nylander/Marner for him though...i want to see what they can do 1st.

Fans on message boards say these things all the time, but when do real GM's actually make those types of offers? If Tanev or any highly valuable player is only obtainable if you overpay for them, then it's simply not worth making that deal. If you have the spare assets to make this sort of big splash then you just need to wait until a high caliber has a falling out with his current organization and goes on the block, and at least 1 does every season.
For all intents and purposes a guy like Tanev simply shouldn't be available in the NHL.
If Buffalo can move Kane and Bogosian for Tanev, plus a Canuck cap dump to make it work (Sbisa), the Sabres salvage the trade from Winnipeg.
Bogosian and Kane fit the style team Benning is trying to build. Kuilikov-Tanev immediately becomes Buffalo's shut down pairing.
I'd add as a Sabres fan to make this happen.
Kane would get into so much trouble playing in Vancouver.

Its probable, but you cant underestimate the power of having his family helping him evening his issues out. I know his dads always had a big impact on him, and I do think that a more consistent family presence would do him some good.

Canucks get the worse Defenceman and the worse Forward because why?
Take out Hansen and it's still not fair. Although to be fair, I'm not as high on Bogosian as some are.
So if Kane was issue free...you wouldn't do this deal? Are you joking?
