But that is far from certain, especially considering he is posting 0.1 pts/gp in his 20th year in the AHL. Even Kuznetsov has 19pts this year.
I looked at Tanev's production since playing in the NHL and it's safe to say that the Flames got a good haul for a defenseman who produced like a 4-6th defenseman.
