Proposal: Rangers - Canucks
- Thread starter Cassano
- Start date
Stepan is too important a player for the Rangers for him to be traded.
I'd counter
Zuccarello (29 Years old $4.5M Hit. 55-60 point playmaking winger)
for
Tanev (26 Years old. $4.45M Hit. 25 Minute a night RHD on the Rangers)

Tanev is our best trading chip. If we trade him we need to get younger players or picks in return

Seriously, what's the obsession with trading our #1 center?
Trading our number center and not getting one in return when we're not a rebuilding team is not a credibility enhancing proposal.

I didn't see anyone proposing to trade Zibanejad.

Well the Canucks need scoring, so probably one of your younger top 6 forwards.

Great deal value wise. We'd need a younger piece back instead though. Not a bad proposal though!
Thanks for the reminder
Tanev for Clendening and a 5th?
Haha that's acceptable but one the commissioner might step in and veto.

I don't really see how this helps either team. Rangers create a big hole in the middle...Canucks move their best potential trade chip for a Center when they've already got significant money tied up down the middle in Henrik Sedin and Brandon Sutter, as well as having Horvat in the fold with a likely raise coming up probably sooner, rather than later.
Not really the sort of deal that would make sense for the Canucks top potential trade chip. Doesn't help them really get younger...and even if "right now" was the focus, it'd be tough for a deal like this to actually make the Canucks better overall, while losing a top-pairing defenceman.

Nothing against Stepan, but VAN should be closer to full on tear it down, rebuild mode than adding guys like Stepan.
The sedins are on their way out (performance and/or contract wise) in the next two years.
Stepan, while not old by any means at 26, is just not the right age if VAN hasnt even begun to accept the rebuild process. He isnt a good enough player to turn around the VAN dumpster fire right now as there are far bigger and more issues than he can even chip away at.
If you also believe VAN might wait a year or two to fully accept a rebuild and tear it down, Stepan has 4 years left on his deal after this year. By the time VAN tears it down, and builds it back up (if they do it right) to any type of serious contender Stepan will be likely gone or a pending UFA.
Its just not at all a good fit, more for VANs situation than Stepans fit with the team
VAN should be targeting guys no older than 23 or quality picks/prospects

I personally isnt very interested in Tanev. Sure i would like to have him, but not really interested in getting older by trading Hayes or JT miller for a defensemen that turns 27 in December. Would rather have Miller and Hayes longterm than Tanev for 3,5 years. I think the value of guys like him are high and that you often give up alot of value because you get a RH defensemen back. He is a good player but i would prefer to get a younger defensemen if we are going to trade for one. Would atleast want him to have a little more to offer offensivly than what Tanev has.

Canucks feel like they have a young group and an old group and nobody in the middle. The old Canucks forwards are, of course, slow. They need speed down the middle to be successful, IMO and adding a fleet center in his prime would be nearly ideal.
Stepan for Tanev is near fair value, which is difficult to calculate with different positions. If NY really want to deal their top center, Canucks should be okay with paying their top defenseman. It the NY desire that I doubt. Maybe Benning will throw in Henrik?

Another Tanev thread to argue in. As stated before more value to the nucks than anything other team's would be willing to give up

I would definitely do this if the Rangers had another player ready to step into Stepan's role.
Value is very good for both teams and despite Stepan's age, the Sedin's will retire in a year or two and leave Vancouver down a legitimate top-6 center, in which Stepan fills a need at that point.

Easy no for the Rangers. Stepan is our best center. Tanev would easily play on the top pairing but its not worth it. Hayes and a third for Tanev
