I see a few posters comparing him to Hamonic but IMO Tanev is a better skater, passer and is more positionally sound than Hamonic was. IF he can stay healthy, I think he'll be a fan favorite.

Of course I'd rather have Brodie and it sucks to lose him but his departure could give Hanifin/Andersson more ice time to develop, especially on the powerplay where I think they have more to show.
