Chris Tanev played 547 games: 514 reg season and 33 playoff games with the Canucks
He missed 155 due to injury. 155/(155+547) = .22
in an 82 game season it would be expected that Tanev miss 18 games
Tanev's robustness as a Flame has so far beaten the odds. Had he been as roster ready for the Canucks for his last 5 year contract, he probably would still be a Canuck.
I don't think that recovery time decreases as age (33 in Dec).
There should be a risk management plan in place. Are Gudbrandson and Stone enough?
