NHL's Top Defenseman Looking For Help On The Blue Line
The Vancouver Canucks, experiencing a strong start to their season, are exploring options to strengthen their defense. The team's new captain, Quinn Hughes, is reportedly advocating for the acquisition of defenseman Chris Tanev from the Calgary Flames, a former Canuck and current rival. Hughes sees Tanev as an ideal partner to complement his offensive prowess, envisioning Tanev's stay-at-home defensive style as a perfect balance to his own approach.

Hughes Searching For A D-Pairing To Elevate Vancouver's Game
The Flames, currently in a period of retooling and rebuilding, are open to trading Tanev but are seeking promising prospects in exchange. The Canucks' initial offer, involving Conor Garland and Anthony Beauvillier, hasn't met the Flames' expectations. Calgary is interested in acquiring young, NHL-ready talent, similar to their approach in the Tyler Toffoli trade. Nils Hoglander, a Canucks player, is speculated to be of interest to the Flames.
Hoglander and a 1st is probably the price it takes. You may get them to take Garland or Beavillier as part of deal just to even money out. Maybe Beavillier more likely as pending UFA they could flip later
Tanev's Days Are Numbered In Calgary
Tanev's future with the Flames appears uncertain, as he has turned down all contract offers from the team. Calgary's preference is to trade Tanev to an Eastern Conference team, reducing the frequency of competing against him. This situation complicates the Canucks' pursuit, given their Western Conference alignment. This summary is based on information from an NHL rumors source discussing the ongoing negotiations and strategic considerations for both the Canucks and the Flames.
Well it ain't no surprise that the flames don't want to trade with the #Canucks , why don't they keep kicking the tires on Brett Pecse, he's younger & better then Tanev and he's a right shot & might cost a tad more then what Calgary wants but Brett is better
