Why Maple Leafs are the team most impacted by not landing Chris Tanev

Flames reporter Eric Francis joins Jeff Marek to discuss what’s next for GM Craig Conroy after the Tanev trade, and why Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving is under even more pressure after not landing the most coveted defenceman at the deadline.

According to multiple sources, the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes had discussions about Elias Pettersson that advanced to a stage where both the Canucks and the player needed to make serious decisions about where their relationship was headed.

The Canucks ultimately decided in favour of another attempt at extending Pettersson, and he, facing the possibility Vancouver could move him, allowed agents Pat Brisson and JP Barry to resume negotiations. Previously, the talented forward indicated he preferred to wait until after the season.

No extension is complete at this time, but there certainly is momentum in that direction, as Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reported Wednesday. Should it be completed, it will allow the Canucks a very clear picture of their future cap situation heading into next week’s trade deadline.
