They'll likely match but if they don't it's a steal, and if they do match then you made a division rival who is in cap trouble give a big contract to a guy who hasn't played 100 games yet.
I don't think it would take Gillis very long to match that offer though

I've been advocating this for a while. It'd be like having two Brodies. Tanev is fairly solid but burried behind Casual Kevin Bieksa and the rest.
Offering 3 mil per 2 years on Tanev, if matched, would seriously limit the Canucks's ability to fill out the rest of their roster. The Canucks are in bigger cap trouble than people think:
1) It's likely that Booth cannot be bought out due to injury.
2) Whoever takes Luongo, won't do so without sending some cap back. Then they'll have to sign a replacement backup goalie. You're not looking at much cap relief there at all.
