Tanev is a solid veteran defensive top 4 Dman, but he doesn't bring any offense to the table. And as a 34 year old rental, expectations like that were way out to lunch. He's got one goal this year and a career high of 28 points. This is not the type of rental teams usually break open the vault for.
Chiarot in 2022 going from MTL to FLA is the only real outlier there that I can think of.

David Savard also got a 1st, Orlov+Hathaway got a 1st+2nd+3rd. The firsts all ended up very late though. Pretty sure those guys and Orlov were all younger and built like brick ####houses, so there was probably a bit more confidence that they will hold up better through a long run (whereas you'll have to shoot Tanev to keep him out of the lineup, but he might be a shell of himself by May)
Alec Martinez for two 2nds is another similar to this.
