Tanev played in an SCF final in his rookie year. And that was 13 years ago.
Before that he was undrafted and bounced around the Canucks minor league system before and after this.
There really is no comparison trying to peg this acquisition in comparison to him. Each injury, callup, demotion, shaped Tanev into who he became and the player he is today.
Whatever, I'll say it, was a second rounder, probably in the mid 20s, and a mid level prospect, and a long shot 3rd rounder that won't be a Flames player until they move into a rink that shovels have yet to hit the ground for, with salary retention, the best Conroy could do in 7-9 days from now? Rhetorical question because we will never know.
And, for a player who didn't want to go anywhere, playing well for the team and a vital peice that kept the entire defensive system calm for his 3.75 seasons here.
You'd think that some team would pony up a 1st rounder.
