Good to see Motte signed too.
Just a hunch but I don't think the OEL thing is dead.

Bummed about not getting OEL. He would've been a good addition.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
If I did my math right, including the 1.7m rookie bonuses, I think the Canucks have no more than 4.5 million to fill one more roster spot. They probably offered less than that to Tanev, to give a cushion because they may have to pay more than I estimated for RFAs Gaudette and Virtanen. The Canucks probably offered about 4.0 million to Tanev.
Beyond that they could sign one more cheap forward for less than 1.25 million and then send Loui down to Utica to get the money for the cap. Maybe they can find a good forward that can’t get a contract with something to prove for that.
This all assumes Ferland is on LTIR.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
Nice work from Benning today imho. Holtby is the the ideal running mate for Demko and he comes at a reasonable cap hit and with a very comfortable two year term. While the market freaked out Benning made the right decision and let the Flames saddle themselves with an Erikssonesque $6x6 mega deal for Markstrom, who like his Swedish compatriot Brother Loui, apparently has a big family to feed
It's why they call him Cool Hand Jim.

Nice to see Motte back at a modest number as well.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
Return of The Tanman?
If Benning can return Tanev and find a rw to replace Toffoli at a decent price in this cap strapped situation he will have cemented his status a genius of the hockey management realm.
Even getting two of those three things done would be damned impressive.

Braden Holtby made a difficult day for the Canucks a lot better. GM Benning thinks Chris Tanev may still return.
Holtby: "Two things we were looking for: a great place to live and a great chance to win, and (Vancouver) crossed off both boxes.”

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
I would have liked to seen TJ Brodie sign here. He’s well worth a four year deal at 20 million. He can play both sides and imho is as good as Chris Tanev but a lot more durable.Raging Fury wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 2:23 pm Now that Marky is a Lame, it would truly be bizzaro world if Brodie became a Canuck.

I don't know Doyle, Brodie would have been a good replacement for Tanev but Tan pairs perfectly with Hughes and I never mess with perfection when I don't need to.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:27 pmI would have liked to seen TJ Brodie sign here.

Besides, Tanev is becoming more durable in maturity. Just look at last year. He's like a late bloomer, grew eight inches in university; peaked physically in his thirties

His offence is sliding and he still serves up some pretty nice pizzas.
He'll be 34 when the contract is up and if it goes south he's probably hard to move in that last year because the structure is:
$2.5M, $5M, $5M, $7.5M (no signing bonus).

LOL, going from bad to worse for our 'UFAs' this week. I guess we will get Taffoli though? Lol
If true, I kind of hope Van goes after AP now.

I love Tanev. He comes back and he’s instantly the teams 2nd or 3rd best D man and instantly the best RH D man. He’s just made of glass.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:34 pmI don't know Doyle, Brodie would have been a good replacement for Tanev but Tan pairs perfectly with Hughes and I never mess with perfection when I don't need to.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:27 pmI would have liked to seen TJ Brodie sign here.
