Proposal: Chris Tanev for McCarron + 2017 1st

[DeltaSwede]

Dude, do you even realize that your own link qualify Tanev like a middle pairing guy role?

Dude, it doesn't.

"Chris Tanev is the best shutdown defensemen in the NHL"

Pair him with a defender who compliments him and you've got a top pairing that would compete with any other top pairing in the league. Also, his offensive flaws are a bit exaggerated to make a point here.

That's too much

What a fantastically bad trade for the Canucks.

My god.

 

[PG Canuck]

Is McCarron even relevant anymore?

 

[He]

I doubt McCarron is worth that much anymore, and the Canucks could probably get more assets back for a 26 yr old #2-#3 defenseman

 

[DeltaSwede]

That's too much

You might want to read the article.

You always post in Canucks related threads with some BS like Tanev is worth 2 2nd rounders.

after watching him a number of times this season, he's pretty much trash imo. Scherbak is good, and would make the proposal a lot better.

That would have been pre-season games. He's only 21 but he's not burning the AHL though.

 

[topshelf15]

That deal is alot of wishful thinking ,the price for good defenders in this league is sky high

 

[Doublechin]

Very, he's a sure shot NHL player wherever he'll be a 2nd or 3rd liner is the question. He's got a good hockey sense with great size.

I don't see how his offensive flaws could be exaggerated when there's roughly 100 defenseman who produce at a higher clip than him and he's being presented as a top tier defenseman.

Chris Tanev has never played more than 70 games in an NHL season... He's a Band-Aid boy at its finest. No way he's worth that much.

Mccaron is a big need for Mtl

So no

 

[HuGo Sham]

Is McCarron even relevant anymore?

yes. he's exactly what habs need - huge centre with 40-50 pt upside. only question is who does he replace between desharnais and plekanec. he was a call up because of injuries last year. habs want him to play a full year in the AHL. He's only 21. 6'6 235 pound C's take longer to develop..there was a recent article that apparently when team's talk trade with bergevin, he's the forward everyone wants

So no

McCarron isn't quite ready yet but he certainly will fill the need for size at center soon.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

No interest in moving tanev

 

[lawrence]

I kinda like Tanev, and I don't think they will move him. Personally don't think Montreal needs defencemen they are good as they are.

If the Canucks start to unload dmans, the top of their list will not be Tanev.
