Given that he has been productive in the minors and was drafted in the 1st round (albeit 30th), I am surprised he hasn't received any NHL action yet. Not even a call-up.
Is it just a numbers game with him? They seem to have a lot of guys listed as centers, but I'd still think he would have had a look by now being a 1st rounder from 2020.
Having said that, Bourque and a 2nd is probably fair for Tanev. A second tier prospect and 2nd rounder for pending UFA defenseman seems about right.
