Somebody called him terribad right after your overpaid comment.
Given his minutes, production and underlying stats he's a weak 1, or solid 2 defenseman in the NHL.
He's not overpaid. Tanev was signed after a fan-less playoff bubble in a flat cap.
His next contract at 38 doesn't change that argument at all.
If he stays I hope he goes to the Thornton model in San Jose and goes year to year to stay with the team. Allows a player to slide down a roster without becoming a problem in terms of cap.
