I think he would of outperformed our players on our team last year. I would take Hank over any of their C's at this point but a bit tricky because hard to tell what Hank is without dank.

I'd take Galchenyuk right now.

Tanev is better defensively than Larssen by a large margin. But Larsen is also much better offensively by a large margin and can improve that. I doubt Larssen ever becomes the defensive stud Tanev is. Tanev would have huge value right now n the league, and likely made higher by the fact that multiple teams are looking for a RHD that can do what he does, esp under his contract.

Tanev is one of the toughest SOBs you are ever going to come across in this league. His pain threshold would blow you away.

I'm back to help pick up the sky!

Don't you shovel it?

I was trying to follow some of that twitter discussion, "Tanev is one of the toughest SOBs you are ever going to come across in this league. His pain threshold would blow you away."

what is Tanev's injury, something in the foot? sounded like they were aware he wasn't able to play b2b's before the road trip started.

any word if it will be Edler with Larsen or Tryamkin?

That would break my back.

Anyone have a link to watch the game online tonight?

Stonewalling the Canucks has not been the most difficult task early in the 2016-2017 season. In all situations, they are shooting a league-low 5.99%. For reference Toronto, at 7.64%, had the lowest team shooting percentage last season.

6% is pretty awful

Fair points to be sure but no...Tanev is not better defensively than larssen by a large margin. Slightly maybe even that's pushing it. Larssen plays a pretty complete and heavy game for a top 4 dman..I don't think Tanev is quite there.

I thought he was being serious. I'm so confused these days......a lemming in sheep's clothing?

Move to Edmonton.

I had a dream.....

It was just a dream....

I added to the dream some reality ....

But we don't want this it's better that we....don't add to comments .... don't dream.... don't be realistic .....

Just make fun of the Canucks and any one who says otherwise .... so label away and have a happy sky is falling, drama queen, tank nation, lemming circle jerking day

Oh by the way this team is in a rebuild .... it may win enough to make the playoffs or not and be in the lottery.... No One Knows .... players may develop and rise ... or stagnate or get injured.... what may come is why we talk....and why they play the games...

Move to Edmonton.

The only good thing to come from Edmonton is an empty bus.

I thought I heard on the radio

Edler Laren
Hutton Gud
Tryamkin Sbisa

- LordHumungous

Hard to say, but last time someone showed stats that compared Tanev with other Dmen, inc larssen, Tanev had much better defensive numbers which would suggest he is quite a bit better defensively.

Move to Edmonton.

my bro is cutting his grass in prince George in November WTF.

Hold on, I'm lost. Philip Larsen plays a complete and heavy game?

Shea Weber makes it tough, I think hes great and makes the overall D better but I think Emelin and Markov are extremely over rated, giving Van an edge in depth

Top 4 of Edler-Tanev-Hutton-Gudbranson I would take over Weber-Emelin-Petry-Markov

Top 6 of Sedin-Sedin-Louie, Sutter-Hansen-Granlund again I would take over Radulov-Galchenyuk-Gallagher, Patches-Desharnes(or Pleks)-Shaw. They might have more future upside with the two Gallys but as a group of 6, they wouldnt scare me

Im not saying one team is miles ahead of the other, I just think Montreal is extremely overrated and not that different from Vancouver
- WhiteLie

I'm not sure how this statement isn't more contentious in these boards.

16 B2Bs this year WTF, coilers have 6

So they're talking about Adam Larsson? Cause this has been throwing me for a loop all year. Both fandoms seem to be struggling to get a handle that it's not Philip Larson and Adam Larssen. (frank)in Scandinavian names, I guess.

Wild weather there I agree, Edmonton is just frickin hot or cold, no in between.
