July 11, 20178 yr comment_275730 Tanev is a cheap depth player who still has upside. Good deal. No commitment.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_275808 The price is right for Tanev but, without a two-way deal, he'll be sitting lots and not developing.

Cant they waive him without losing him to begin the season? He might be one of those guys paid a lot of money to play in the AHL but I'd suspect they see him as that 4th line option. Lemieux to start in Manitoba.

But doesn't he have to clear waivers on his way back up? I'm not always clear on how that works with the beginning of the season stuff. Oh, boy, Lemieux to start up, eh? I like the idea of that but I'm not sure he's ready. I suppose he'll have the chance in the preseason to earn a spot.

I think Lemieux is seen as a potential quality 4th line guy. But if Tanev is getting NHL money, they might have him penciled in there.

Not sure how I did that.

But re-entry waivers have been eliminated. Players don't have to go through waivers on the way up anymore.

Im basing this totally off the fact you can waive anyone you want to the Moose before a certain date in EA Sports NHL games.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_275921 AFIK, the "one way" or "two way" refers strictly to how player will be paid. One way = flat salary player makes, regardless of where he plays. Two way = AHL salary if in AHL, and NHL pay for NHL play. In Tanev's case, all we're doing is guaranteeing his pay. Where he plays matters not.

Where he plays matters not. That's correct. Whether they have to pass through waivers or not is based on their "waiver-exempt" status which is determined by age and number of NHL games played. After doing a little research, I can confirm that Tanev is no longer waiver-exempt and would have to pass through waivers to go to the Moose. I also found this funny quote in the article I was reading: Quote A player's AHL salary determined whether a player was eligible for re-entry waivers, but with those a thing of the past, the type of contract has absolutely no bearing on the NHL waiver process, no matter how it works in EA Sport's NHL series of video games.

July 11, 20178 yr comment_275999 At age 25, I'd say Tanev has probably hit his ceiling... might have some improvement driving play but probably not too much difference
July 12, 20178 yr comment_276228 Heads up Chevy... The Carolina Hurricanes and defenceman Jaccob Slavin have agreed to a seven-year contract extension. General manager Ron Francis on Wednesday said the deal begins in 2018-19 and will carry an average annual value of $5.3 million through the 2024-25 season. Francis says the 23-year-old Slavin is "one of the cornerstones of our team" and "one of the top young defencemen in the NHL today." In his second season in the NHL in 2016-17, Slavin had 34 points, three goals, 29 assists. He also led the team with 161 blocked shots, 83 takeaways and an average time on ice of about 23 1/2 minutes. Edited July 12, 20178 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

And 7 year contract? When are these GM gonna learn? On a team that didn't make the playoffs.. ? Trouba is gonna ask for the moon now....

Hes one of the best defensive d men in the game... Just cuz you've never heard of him or watched him play... Doesnt mean he isnt. Give me 6 Slavins on the Jets over all 6 they currently have. Kids a stud. Legit. This deal is a huge steal for Carolina Points arent all that matters by the way. This guy is a legit shutdown d man.. Plays against the other teams best players and shuts them down. Edited July 13, 20177 yr by Goalie
