The Vancouver Canucks have long been interested in a reunion with Chris Tanev, but with less than $15 million remaining and holes elsewhere in the lineup, Patrik Allvin would have to get very creative to bring back the shut down D.
On the Sekeres and Price show, former Canuck and NHL Analyst Frank Corrado suggested that perhaps that could be done by giving Tanev a longer term offer than a player of his age -34 years old- would generally get.
Corrado says given his injury history, a player like Tanev is almost sure to end up on LTIR towards the end of a long term deal, and would be less likely to cause cap issues down the road because of that.
