Benning has to hit it out of the park if he will move Tanev. If he can get into the top 8 (Buffalo/Arizona) or if Liljegren is available at the TB/Bos/TOR pick, I can see Benning making the deal.
Canucks are trying to get a young C (Sam Reinhart/Dylan Strome) but I can't see a team giving up that level of prospect for Tanev, owing mostly to the fact that teams rarely trade their top prospects. Best case scenario is Arizona or Buffalo's first or TB/TOR/Bos first and a top prospect.
