Toronto will acquire his rights, but will still fail to sign him. He comes back home to Vancouver

 

[ameselare]

Tanev won’t sign with Toronto. Hughes has already spoke/recruited him for sure.

If Tre throws the bag at him then there's nothing Quinn can really do. But I like your optimism

 

[olafsson]

Don’t sign, Tanev!! Wait it out till Monday and come back home

 

[Tact]

We need another tweet saying Tanev is a priority July 1st. Get on the horn JR

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Friedman:
Tanev's rights being traded to Maple Leafs.

Can we trade one of our UFA's rights? Be nice to get some later picks in the next couple drafts to make up for those missing thirds.

 

[ziploc]

Think of your children, Tanev...

 

[PavelBure10]

Trading desirable free agents rights for draft picks, Allvin should take note.

 

[StickShift]

Remember when Hamhuis had has rights traded before UFA? I believe to Pittsburgh? We all thought he was gone for sure.

[Jannik Hansen]

All of the RD I wanted are getting scooped up. Hopefully Roy wants to sign in Canada.

[ameselare]

I love Tanev but I do not want to sign him to a 5-8 year deal.

*edited to add: And there isn't a chance in hell Allvin wants to offer him that kind of term either

 

[wonton15]

There’s 0 chance Allvin hands him a 5-8 year deal anyways so moot point.

 

[Vector]

For how little the Maple Leafs paid, that indicates they haven't talked to him. Also, despite what Dreger is saying, they can't sign him to an 8 year contract. 7 is the max because this isn't a sign and trade.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Is Toronto really gonna give him 7 years?

I mean they prob gonna LTIR him but still a risky move

 

[JAK]

This would be funny if Leafs can't sign Tanev

 

[TruGr1t]

 

[StickShift]

I love Tanev but I do not want to sign him to a 5-8 year deal.

I’m pretty sure the nudge-nudge wink-wink to any such long-term deal will be a LTIRetirement somewhere along the way.

 

[Tact]

I thought somebody said he had to be with the team since TDL to go 8 years?

If that’s the case, we should definitely acquire Guentzel’s rights

 

[ProviesGhost]

One of the agents, I forget which one, did mention the tax thing is over blown and with planning / sheltering etc. it isn’t that different. I would be interesting to verify that.

 

[ameselare]

I’m pretty sure the nudge-nudge wink-wink to any such long-term deal will be a LTIRetirement somewhere along the way.

I know that, but my point still stands. Besides, if the Canucks start messing around with LTIRetirement too much they'll change the rules to punish us somehow.

 

[PavelBure10]

Just go back talking to Zadorov.

That is the case. He has to be a team’s reserve list at the prior trade deadline. The max that Toronto could sign him for is seven years.

Now, in theory, they could negotiate an eight year deal, have Dallas reacquire his rights to sign the 8-year deal, and then have Dallas trade him back for a higher pick than the 7th rounder. Convoluted but no rules preventing it.
