The belief was the Flames are asking for a first round pick for Tanev, that's when talks broke down,
Dhaliwal said.Dhaliwal said the Canucks will continue to look into Tanev, and if failing to acquire him before the deadline they will likely pursue him as a free agent.
He added that the Canucks are not done, while not urgently looking they still plan to add to their league leading team.
