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.

Tanev has never had more than 20 points. Brodie has pretty much never been under 20 points (hasn't had fewer than 30 points in a full season since 2012).
Tanev has never played more than 70 games (although he was healthy this year). Brodie hasn't played in less than 70 games in a full season since 2011.
