Nothing is going to push this trade in the flames favor sadly, the prospect is underwhelming across the board so its going to look bad for the flames. Just hope that he can amount to something positive in the next few years, its early so no sense in judgement at this point.

I think you have lost sight of the fact that Tanev is a 34 year old UFA who has no intention of re signing with the Flames.
This next bit isn't directed at you necessarily, but in general, folks are too concerned with "winning trades" it isn't all about winning the trade, it is sometimes about prudent asset management and getting a fair deal for players.
