Confirmed with Link: CHRIS TANEV TO DALLAS

[starsfan86]

Tanev
Lyubushkin
Murphy

was the priority order. Imagine we're talking to the ducks about Lyubushkin now

Yeah I saw the list. Maybe it has changed since we acquired Tanev!

 

[Henderson33]

What a trade.

 

[Kipper 17]

Harley - Heiskanen
Lindell - Tanev
Suter - Hakanpaa
Lundkvist

That top 4 is so f***ing good

I was just thinking about this. At the start of the year, if you told me we would acquire Tanev, I would 100% expect that to be as Miro’s partner. I don’t think u can break up Miro and Harley now. Lindell-Tanev has to be one of the better tough minute eating pairs in the league.

 

[redbeardtx]

Too bad they didn't get Borqoven + 1st

Just a damn shame...

 

[piqued]

Cole Brady sounds like some random guy Piqued would have covered in a GDT

I'm starting the deep dive on UMass as we speak... where I'm learning that Cole Brady is very much the backup... in his senior season. Devils wanted that reserve list slot.

 

[Kipper 17]

So he aspires to be featured in our GDT

 

[Klockis]

The 2021 draft is an all-timer:

Johnston
Stankoven
Tanev

 

[Zrhutch]

Gotta wonder if they’re still big game hunting. The powder is completely dry and they can still play their LTIR card.

 

[Troy McClure]

Grushnikov is who the Flames wanted?! Sure, knock yourselves out.

Incredible value. No 1st, no Bourque, no Bichsel. We even hold on to Dellandrea for use in another deal.

And this was supposedly a bidding war?

I kinda feel bad for Flames fans trying to tell themselves he's a great prospect.

 

[piqued]

 

[Kcb12345]

Another D upgrade would be nice, but there is 5 guys that will not be touched now.

Miro, Harley, Lindell, Tanev, and Suter. So do we move one of Hakanpaa/Lundqvist for a bottom pair RHD? Seems unlikely to me.

If they acquire another, I feel it'll be a spare-type guy. A better version of Hanley

But I hope I'm wrong and we get someone like Walker just for fun

 

[Azzuri]

Based Jim Nill. Can't wait to see Tanev in green.

 

[Smelling Salt]

TIDY PIECE OF WORK JIMMY VERY TIDY

 

[Azzuri]

Lyubushkin is bad I hope we dont go for him unless its for like a 4th round pick or some shit. Might be an upgrade from Hanley but thats about it.

Would love to see Hank pushed to the 7th D but we all know itll be Nils.

I'd be OK moving MIro to LD with Tanev and letting Harley run his own pair. That pairing hasn't been as good as people believe I think, especially defensively.

 

[RefalancheStillLose]

Time for me to eat some crow. Good on Nill

 

[Starry Knight]

It's pretty clear at this point he doesn't have an NHL future. You need some level of puck skill to play defence in the NHL.

 

[Jackattack030]

Miro, Harley, Lindell, Tanev, and Suter. So do we move one of Hakanpaa/Lundqvist for a bottom pair RHD? Seems unlikely to me.

Feel like Hakanpaa goes for salary relief or Lundqvist to regroup draft capital we have lost. Hard to see us keeping both.

 

[starsfan86]

Poor Nils gonna get shafted again lol. I’m fine with that if we acquire one more player, not for Hakanpaa tho.

 

[Arkham32]

What would an extension look like I doubt he ends up a pure rental either. Nothing in the pipeline for a RHD hopefully get him extended for a couple seasons as well.

2x3.5?

 

[The Tourist]

Need a bottom pairing dman that can skate and/or pass. A Suter-Hakanpaa pair is a disaster unless they play 8 minutes a night which won't happen. Hakanpaa can't pass and is one of the dumbest players ever to wear a Stars uniform. He pinches at the wrong time for a guy who is a stay home dman and he drifts out of his area too much. Suter can't skate and rivals Benn on laziness.

You can keep one of Suter and Hakanpaa but they will get caved in together. I would move Hakanpaa as long as it doesn't upset the Finnish mafia.

I mean, Nils now has no obligation to rush back from a concussion. Especially if they acquire another Dman.

Eh, I wouldn't call Suter or Benn lazy, Suter's old enough to be Satan's dad. and Benn is probably just falling apart ala most guys who survive 13 years in the league these days.

Yes no rush for sure. I just don’t want Hakanpaa playing in the postseason.

I'm going back and forth on this. We know Harley-Heiskanen can work in emergencies but shouldn't we at least find out if Miro-Tanev can vibe and get Miro on his strong side finally? Tanev is the prototype defender we've always dreamed about playing next to Heiskanen.

Suter-Lundkvist actually wasn't terrible for a bit there.

Yeah but he's 34 and a UFA so lets not get too invested in 20-40 games of maybe magic here.
