Some of you Flames fans should really spend some time watching other teams and players.

Brodie and Tanev are very similar. They are both great skaters and put up limited offense but both are very good at defending.

This is a lateral move but one that had to be made. Brodie has to be replaced and you won’t find a more similar player.

It’s funny how some are lamenting the loss of Brodie in one thread and panning this signing in another one.

Tanev and Brodie are virtually interchangeable.

They offered Tanev exactly what they offered Brodie, Tanev took it.

As for Tanev’s injury history, there’s something about Vancuver’s Medical staff, I’m hoping the Flames staff and also Van Asten can help Tanev stay healthy.
