If Tanev really does like it here and he wants to chase a cup, I don't see it as out of the realm of possibility that he sees signing one-year contract(s) in Calgary as his best move. Spends most of the year in his preferred locale and then gets moved for two to four months to one of the real contenders (may be impacted by how much trade protection he negotiates). There are a lot of contenders at the beginning of each season that become pretenders throughout the season. Getting traded to real contenders at the TDL may result in higher odds of getting that cup vs. signing a multi-year deal with, for example, an Ottawa.
