<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Yeah you're not getting Fabbro for Goldobin+Gaudette. Get real any team can offer the Preds better pieces then those.</div></div>

I think that this proposal could be argued that it is an over-payment for Fabbro. If he doesn't sign after this BU season he goes back for his senior year and walks for nothing in August of 2020! How good does that look on Poile? Over the course of 3 years he will have lost both Vesey and Fabbro for nothing while telling everyone the entire way along that he believes that he can sign them!

True any team can come in and offer Nashville the world, but unless he agrees to sign there then they are risking the world for an unknown! That is why this trade deadline, in my opinion Fabbro will be in play unless he has already told Nashville that he intends to sign for them. But, for the reasons mentioned above, his value is incredibly low right now and i think that the trade proposal posed here is not only fair but it actually leans in Nashville's favor. You are correct, if this was a normal situation Dante Fabbro would be worth a lot more, but this is not normal.

Now regarding the Vancouver population's speculation on Fabbro:
The Canucks are a logical trading partner here. They have an immediate need and roster spot available. He fits into the age dynamic the team is trying to build around, and the Canuck's would agree to burn a year of his entry level contract to get him into the line-up immediately. But more importantly (and where a lot of the speculation/intrigue/optimism is coming from) Fabbro is from VANCOUVER. Fabbro was a Canucks fan growing up! His family still lives in the city! Now - I do not know Dante or his family, but would it not be a logical assumption to believe he would at least be interested in signing in Vancouver, and if we don't make a trade now and he does go to free agency that the Canucks would be in a good position to sign him while giving up no assets on Aug 15, 2020?

For those reasons, I think the proposal is a generous one, and definitely not one that Nashville could laugh at. Personally, I would be more inclined to offer good but conditional draft picks for him.

This is exactly why i love this site! I wish there could be more dialogues like this!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Horton goes on LTIR and is not an issue at all. As far as starting with Nylander or Liljegren is a complete non starter. Liljegren has a ceiling as high as Quin Hughs, and I'm sure you'll agree that Tanev isn't as valuable as a extremely high potential offensive defenceman. Nylander's value is extremely higher than Tanev. </div></div>

I dont know enough about LTIR to comment intelligently on this, however it does seem to me that there are a ton of GM's trying to shed themselves of these types of deals? So why is TO's situation different than the other teams, or are you saying its not an issue this year but will be next?(Ie. Bowman in Chicago on Hossa and Holland in Detroit on Datsyuk to name a few)?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>I understand the want from Vancouvers end but here's the thing that fans need to understand. A players value is different dependent on the team they currently have. A lot of people think Nylander has lower value because he's redundant in Toronto with the incredible offensive fire power they have. But that's the wrong way to look at it. Nylander is extremely valued by TO, he's going to be riding shotgun with Matthews for the better part of a decade at least (barring injury or a no brainer trade offer), moving him only makes sense if the overall strength of the team is improved. Is Toronto better with Nylander and the defence they have? Or are they better if they move Nylander for a defenceman. There are not many defenceman available that would make Toronto a better team overall if you subtract Nylander. And even in those cases the trade would likely require more assets and quickly it becomes prohibitive. Hence why TO won't trade Nylander, his value is too high and he'll never bring back equal value. Mainly because Rival GM's will try to use the depth Toronto has as a way of lowering the return.

Same goes for Liljegren, his value to the Leafs is much higher than people think it should be. </div></div>
Well stated. I said the same thing in different words when talking about Tanev's value to helping Juolevi and/or Hughes transition into NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div> Back to the proposed trade, I'd be happy with giving up a 1st rounder for Tanev, I'd just hope there could be a way to reduce the cap for next season at the sametime. Perhaps a 1st and maybe Rosen (was a beast for the Marlies in the second half of the season, his first in North America, and the playoffs), or some other prospect. Maybe someone Connor Brown and a 2nd instead?</div></div>

And this is how I would assume that trades are conducted in the NHL. If I were Jim Benning I would happily accept Connor Brown and a second round pick!

Now, I will propose this trade on a Canucks armchair GM and will be crucified for it, hence why being a GM in either of our cities is an absolutely impossible job!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>I completely agree with you that Tanev is a great player. I think he'd benefit massively in TO, they spend more money on player health than many teams spend in their entire hockey operations department and that would do wonders for Tanev's health. And yes he wouldn't be blocking nearly as many shots, mainly cause the Leafs will always have the puck. I also agree that he would make Reilly a huge star.

With all that said, he still offers very little in offence and he's also 28, generally players start declining when they leave their 20's, especially players who play a very physical brand of hockey. I feel that Tanev has 2-4 really good years left. Then he'll start showing the wear and tear of his age. So the unfortunately for the Canucks, the haul for Tanev isn't going to be nearly as good as you want it to be. This trade may not work, and I was more curious to see how Canuck fans perceive Zaitsev. (Personally I think he's underrated due to a season that was filled with an injury and a bad illness, the dude lost something like 25 pounds when he was sick, that would have a major impact on anyone)</div></div>

If you agree that he makes Reilly a star, then what will his up-tick in points be? If Reilly can jump into the play more and get an additional 5-8 goals and 10-15 assists on top of the 52 he got last year is that not worthwhile? Perhaps Tanev does not score a ton as a Leaf but I would confidently say he would be a 25-30 point guy on a full season with that group of forwards.

28 years old is a fact. But did you not just sign someone else who is 28, and doesn't his signing mean that you are in 'win now' mode? There is no question that Tanev has hit his plateau of what he is as a player and will be that guy for another 4-5 years before he declines and becomes a #3 Dman until he retires at 34.

My argument on value stays the same. If you want someone who is going to help you win today, you're going to have to offer something that will help us win in 3-4 years. Zaitsev is not that guy... another undersized RW is not that guy... and a pick in the 50's will not be that guy. THAT is why Canuck fans always start these conversations with 1st rounders or Lillegren. You say no... we say no... and go in this circle. So, my suggestion is to start adding value in elsewhere. Why can we not talk about Lillegren and Horton for Tanev? Or maybe i put it to you this way... Tanev and Nylander for Lillegren and Horton? Horton has to go to solve your cap problems... Canucks help solve two of your problems... you give us a piece that will help us in 3-4 years when we are ready to compete again...
