Given his age and injury history, I doubt there’s much demand for him at the moment. However, if the Flames fall out of the playoff race and Tanev is healthy, he’ll be near the top of the list for playoff rentals.
As for renewing him, there’s too much uncertainty around the Flames blue line to make that call now. He’s at an age where his play might drop off dramatically.
