I wouldn't hate this.
If the price for Tanev is a 2nd, and the Flames end up making the playoffs, it's not a bad scenario. Obviously, there's a worst case scenario where the flames miss and Tanev walks for free. If that happens, I wouldn't be too upset, given the haul we received on Lindholm. It's a wasted asset, but the lesser of the four major players Conroy had to deal with: Toffoli, Lindholm, Hanifin, then Tanev.
If the Flames do make the playoffs, the team would feel empty without Tanev.
Who knows the Flames may even re-sign him to another bargain contract.
