Last year Tanev was a super star and the year before that he was “replacement level”
which one is he?

I don't think it's the same argument.
Tanev surprised people by breaking a trend when he changed teams. I think that certainly brings into question whether situations (linemates and what team you play for) have a bigger determining factor on these things than we to this point understand.
But that doesn't mean the assessment of Tanev's last three years in Vancouver is wrong.
Take Nurse for example. Pretty easy to look up pretty much all of the shot metric stats on web sites and see that he's between 155 and 175th in all prevention categories.
So to see bad defensive numbers on a chart like that is pretty obvious.
But will he be bad? Not necessarily, but I think throwing out the charts themselves because of an example or two where the player went the other way is akin to getting everyone to jump off a building because one guy did it without breaking his legs.
