I can’t believe how awesome Tanev has been. Absolute perfect fit for the team and it really shows by how well Hanifin has played this year. It would have been a shame to move Hanifin and see him blossom elsewhere.
Not to derail from the Tanev talk too much but that blockbuster with the Hurricanes still looks to me to be the best move Treliving has made. Instead of losing Fox for picks or nothing, Ferland for nothing, or be in the midst of a contract yesr with Hamilton the Flames have their number 1C and number 3/4 D continue to get better and have 3 years each left on their contracts.
I do give Tanev a huge amount of credit for being part of Hanifin’s rise this year.
