In his first 46GP - leading into the All-Star break - Tanev had averaged 19:40 TOI - 16:56 ES - 2:39 PK - almost no power-play time.
Easily defined. The way he empties the tank, blocks shots, and matches up against top six forwards makes him an attractive target at trade deadline.
A veteran defenceman aging towards, potentially, his final NHL contract in free agency.
Current deal carries and AAV of $4.5M and an 10 team 'no trade' list.
Skates at NHL pace. Generally responsible with the puck. Not a lot of flash offensively. Lands somewhere between a 'second pairing and third pairing D'. 2-way / Shut down / Match-up
