The Canucks are continuing to monitor everything, big and small. They're continuing to work the phones and their preference is not to trade any more first round draft picks, but as I like to say all the time, hockey people change your minds. You can look into all players, big names, depth players, it's all about the cost of acquisition.
They're still looking for a defencemen, can't have enough for the playoffs, ty to be seven, eight deep on the blueline.
The price on Chris Tanev is obviously pretty steep, but that's when teams like the Canucks have to get creative. When you like a player as much as the Canucks like Tanev, you got to get creative. The Canucks have not given up on Chris Tanev.
Sources say the Oilers are making a push for Tanev. You certainly don't want him going to that team if you're the Canucks, for sure. Dallas, high interest in Tanev. Many others: Maple Leafs still in there, Winnipeg (too).
