Anyone else think we should try to hold onto Tanev.  We will need D, and he is a warrior who is proven as a mentor to rookies (much like Backlund).  I would be happy if he was back on a 2-3 year deal. 
 
At worst, sell him, but try to bring him back as a UFA.

I think if he can bring back a 2nd or similar value that is more valuable than anything he can bring to on the ice or off the ice. This isn't a shot at him as he has been very good for us and in the offseason if we signed him back as a FA great, but we need to maximize assets and he seems like a guy that could bring a valuable piece back.
