And contending team would have to pay him $4 some million per year to play half a season AND also give up assets for him in a trade?
No smart GM in their right mind should be trading for Tanev or relying on him for a Stanley Cup run.

Honestly if any team pays more than a 2nd or a project prospect they are crazy. Canuck fans love calling Tanev a top pairing D man when in reality he is a one dimensional guy who over the past few seasons has started to turn into a pylon. I saw him get walked multiple times last year, he has become a lesser version of Kris Russell.
