A buddy of mine is a hardcore Canucks fan, this was his input on Tanev.
"Great partner for Gio or Hanifin. Rock solid defensively. Blocks a ton of shots so gets hurt at least once a year. Great first pass, great shot supression, decent skater. Can definitely be a partner for an offensive guy or part of a shutdown pairing. Edler, Hughes both loved playing with him. Doesn't have a big shot but he's always smart with the puck.
You're gonna love him and be super upset when he gets hurt. The annual Tanev 10-20 game injury always resulted in our season going down the ####ter. I doubt we can replace him. "
